I've recently discovered a distant cousin, Reginald Willis (born 1926). He, like me, is an Anglo Indian. He was apparently an electrical engineer. He had another female cousin who married a guy in Chippenham. And this all happened in the 1940s and 1950s.

Now, their parents worked on the railways in India, and I'm guessing that the railway industry in Swindon, and Westinghouse in Chippenham, could be a common factor.

We're trying to find out what happened to him - nothing yet found after 1960. So is there any kind of resource, such as a society, or museum that might have railway records for that time?

I have a couple of questions I hope you can help with.

For many years I have used Google Photos web app on a Chromebook and also on an Android phone app.

1. The editing tools were different (the phone app being more comprehensive for my needs) which was annoying as using a phone is too darned fiddly IMHO. Then I tried the Google Photos Chrome PWA which seemed OK, but different editing tools again! Is this a stable situation - maybe look elsewhere?

2. Previously I had to upload photos from my camera to Google photos. Today I noticed the photos in each app include photos which I haven't uploaded, but they are on the Chromebook file system. So I guess they have got there via automatic backup. But that folder is not in my Backup folders! Bug or user error (I am very much a "senior").

Is it just me? Should I move my photos elsewhere?
