Hello

I am currently working on my family history and believe I have some relatives who lived in Tollerton in the late 19th and early 20th century, their surname was Andrews. I am told there were two brothers one called Bertram and the second Jack. I believe Bertram was in the Merchant Navy during World War 2 and that he later lived in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
I am told they lived near the railway in a old/converted railway carriage. I expect this would have been considered to be quite unique/odd then as it would now and anyone who lived in the village then would remember them, if not as individuals but as the people who lived in the railway carriage.
Do you know of anyone whose family lived in the village at that time who may be able to confirm whether this is true or anyone who has any historical records of the village who may be able to provide additional information about the Andrews family and/or old village photos which may include the railway carriage mentioned.
Any information would be greatly received.

Thank you
Regards
Jeanette Hunton
