<p>Re: The Campion family and the SMJ</p>
<p>I have continued working on my family history and some information about the above members is on the Ancestry website. (<a href="http://www.ancestry.co.uk" target="_blank">www.ancestry.co.uk</a></p>
<p>I'm not sure if you have to be a member to access it but if you can then it is on my family tree viz. David Campion Tree 1 and you are welcome to look.</p>

<p>Hello Dick. I am embarrassed. I forgot to mention that I have a copy of the Jordan book but I do appreciate the fact that you took the time and trouble to respond.</p>
<p>I think my next step will be to visit the archives at the National Rail Museum in York.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>There's a photo of ganger A Campion at Kineton on Page 94 of Jordan's SMJR book and ones of Jim and Harry Campion on Page 25. It says also on Page 25 that Jim was a ganger who later became an Acting Inspector at Towcester and that his daughter Dorothy worked in Towcester booking office during WW2 and that Harry worked as a ganger for 45 years.</p>
