 * Keep His diaries are kept at the National Archives (1) and there are sufficient articles addressing him in detail to satisfy WP:BIO e.g. 2, 3, 4. An obituary found here was also published in several reliable sources.--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:04, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

The resident engineer of a British railway was a very senior position, a company employee with wide remit (as opposed to a consulting engineer who would be hired in for one task or group of tasks) reporting either to the Chief General Manager or directly to the Board of Directors; he was a professional civil engineer responsible for all fixed structures from track to buildings. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 17:06, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
