Tramway Drivers

The crew members here have been identified by searching through the 1911 Census data. The work was undertaken by McSparron[1].  A number of different terms were searched for, so there are different results for what may be the same job.  For example Tram Driver, Tramway Driver, Tramway Motorman and Motorman are all equivalent, but are listed separately to indicate the nature of the search.

People describing themselves as "Motorman"

There is no independent confirmation that these people worked for the tramway.  There are two very young people, one aged 15 and a female aged 16.  The school leaving age was 14, so it is technically possible that they were tram drivers, but it seems unlikely.
