If he's an ancestor how did you get back to him? Children?

The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815 - is that what you meant by 'worked at'?
Alternatively, Waterloo Station in London was opened on 11 July 1848.

Thank you. I believe he worked at Waterloo Station. But I have no idea of the position he held.

So we're looking for a year of birth from c1835, but probably later?

Andrew asked a question earlier -

.......

This is to try and follow your trail back from your starting point.

Did he marry one of your relatives, if so, who, when & where?
As Andrew says, did he have any children? Again - if we can find records of them, we can back-track to George.

Try and read your original post as if you know nothing about him. That's the situation we are in.
