I am revising some details of my thread about my Grandfather Stephen Arthur William Cuzner as I continue to find out details of the accident he had when he stepped on a live rail and was paralysed. I have spoken to my cousin and he confirms that Grandad worked for British Rail not London Transport as first thought. I have tried to pinpoint a more accurate time frame but it is proving difficult. My cousin remembers going down to see our Grandad by the railway when he was working and before the accident. My cousin was born in 1945 so would not have expected this before 1952 due to my cousin only being 7 at that time. As my Grandad would have reached the age of 65 by 1956 would this have been the age a railway employer would have retired. This puts an approx. time frame for the accident between 1952-1956 My cousin also thinks the accident happened at Mitcham Junction (Mitcham Surrey) If anyone has any more suggestions on to how to find out the details I would be most grateful. Thank You Pam |

Pam....You may have some success if you can determine which Branch of the RMT (Trade Union) he was a member of ...then try and locate the appropriate HSE Records for that Branch.....There would have been a HSE report made of the incident.....alternatively contact the RMT for direction...... |

His death certificate should have his last address (which may help with finding which library to contact to see if there are any newspaper reports of the accident):- |

Nothing in the London Gazette, the Times, the Guardian or the Observer I am afraid. |

Perhaps somebody with access to the British Newspaper Archive can help you out. |

I am trying to find out about an accident my Grandfather had but dont have many exact details. I tried putting his name into the recent new Railway site but nothing came up. The details i have are My Grandad was a Metal Plate Layer and the accident he had was that he stepped on a Live rail and was paralysed. I was born in 1950 and i only rememeber him not being able to walk and confined to bed. I would think this happened in late 1950s. My cousin remembers him walking and he is 5 years older than me. I am not sure exactly where they lived then but would have been Mitcham/Wimbledon.area. I dont know what Railway Company he worked for.. Not sure where to start with this one. Many Thanks Pam |
