Did he work with George? Did George try to take his son-in-law into his business or is this how he met Jane? He obviously didn't last as this is his only known entry into the local business directories.

worked for the Railways in Sierra Leone - died therespoke to Lexie 5.6.2002
Ivor remained a Bachelor all his life. Got on well in railways. other families related to Biggs (from Swindon) were quite "senior" in the railways which helped him get jobs. He was sent to places like Sierra Leone. He saved his money and when he came back home (to the Rhondda) he was generous to the family children. He brought home African nick-nacks. The location of these items are now unknown.1891 census
