ASHFORD
Probably the greatest influence on the growth of the town was the arrival of the railway in 1842 and the decision by the South Eastern Railway Company to build the Railway Works in the town in 1846. Between 1841 and 1861 the town more than doubled in population from 3,000 to 7,000.
The railway workers developed their own community in an area originally called Alfred Town by the Railway Company. The community, which soon became known locally as The New Town and finally Newtown, had its own schools, pub, bathhouse, shops and Mechanics' Institute, which doubled up as a library and social and educational club for the workers.
The Railway Works dominated the town and nearly 1,000 locomotives were built or re-built there before the Works was closed in 1981. The Wheel Shop closed in March 1993.

Occupation:
The occupation of "Sea Captain - deceased" appears on his illegitimate daughter Sarah Ireland's marriage certificate to James Mills in 1863.
She recorded her father's name as James Ireland and his occupation as Sea Captain which was apocryphal to hide the fact that her mother never married him. He would always have been away at sea ...
Sarah's birth certificate revealed the true name of her father - James Mickleburgh. It's doubtful that she ever saw her own birth certificate.
