Your great and canny Scottish granny may have been rolling in oodles of cash. If so, she may have invested it in the Great Western Railway in England! A list of shareholders is available on FindmyPast.co.uk, with the upload of the collection finally completed today. The originals came from the London based Society of Genealogists.
For more, read the FindmyPast blog post at Great Western Railway Shareholders Index is now complete on findmypast.co.uk
UPDATE: just noticed the following on the Findmypast site: "We will be adding the original GWR images to our site by the end of April 2010"
