Wow, dear list, this certainly is more than I expected ! All the great
comments, historical data, and at my fingertips. I know what you folks
have put down in a few paragraphs would have taken me a long time to
gather. I will certainly use every tidbit. My sincere appreciation to
all. And, yes, I knew about the engineer occupation description -
ENGINEER A person who designed roads, bridges, or machinery. Also a person
who drove or serviced any machinery such as engine drivers.

Hum, now, let's see, being from USA, if one is a bacon slicer engineer or
an ocean going liner engineer as in one of the previous posts, I wonder if
they would have ever met Peter's Thomas at the George IV pub! 'spose we'll
never know. tata & Cheers ! Sue in Northern California, USA

One of the properties demolished in order to build Central Station was a
pub called George IV. My gggfather was the landlord. He was Thomas
BARON b whose daughter Ann BARON 1822-1887 married Thomas HESKETH
1823-1898 and gave me my middle name.
