Can you help?

I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE SLATER FAMILY. MY GREAT GRANDFATHER , THOMAS SLATER WORKED IN THE RAILWAY WORKS AS A CARPENTER. HE MOVED TO EASTLEIGH SOMETIME BEFORE THE 1901 CENSUS WITH HIS FAMILY , THEY LIVED IN SOUTHAMPTON ROAD.

HIS ELDEST DAUGHTER WAS ALICE MILDRED SLATER. SHE MARRIED GEORGE WEBB IN 1904 . HE WAS A SAWYER AND THEY LIVED IN THE SAME STREET DESBOROUGH ROAD SO I THINK GEORGE WAS CONNECTED TO THE RAILWAY WORK'S AS WELL. THOMAS'S SON CYRIL W.T. SLATER WAS A COACH TRIMMER. AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH IN 1910 AGED 28, HE WAS LIVING AT 18 DUTTON COTTAGES , DUTTON LANE.

THOMAS'S SON, MY GRANDFATHER FREDERICK C. SLATER WAS IN THE HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT, HE WAS KILLED IN ACTION IN FRANCE 1915. THOMAS 'S YOUNGEST SON WAS LEONARD E. SLATER , I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HIM. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER SARAH ANN SLATER DIED IN 1919 SHE IS BURIED ALONG WITH HER SON CYRIL . IN BROOKWOOD CEMETERY. I KNOW THIS IS A LONG TIME AGO BUT MAYBE SOMEONE HAS INFORMATION ON THE FAMILY. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. MANY THANKS .

A Reunion - what do you think?

I have been asked to mention that Dusty (Kevin Williams) is thinking that a reunion of ex railway workers would be a good idea. If you would be interested, Dusty is happy for you to phone him on 01785 850748 or email me and I will pass your details on to him contact us

Email Contact Page

If you would like to get in contact with any ex Eastleigh Works colleagues, and would like your email address displayed for people to contact you, (or if you are looking for someone in particular) please let me know stating that you are happy for your details to be shared and I will make a contact page contact us

This site is dedicated to the men and women who have worked at Eastleigh Works. All contents of this site have been compiled in good faith and the author apologises for any errors or incorrect information.

The site is really just a record of names of the people who worked at Eastleigh Works

This has been a very long process and if you know of any errors or know of anyone else who has worked at Eastleigh Works, please contact us with as many details as possible (which can be shared publicly) and if you have any photographs which we would be able to consider for inclusion, that would be a great help (although we cannot guarantee we will use them - mainly due to space and copyrights).

If you are visiting this site, it is most likely that you worked or knew someone who worked at Eastleigh Works and if you can help with any stories, funny, sad or serious, or just a few thoughts of working life, please contact us and I will try to add it to this site, but no promises given.
