Is there a list which correlates the names to them?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: A4 works plates
Presumably you are talking about the works numbers since the plates were the same.
If this is the case, Yeadon's A4s or RCTS Loco of the LNER Vol 2A will give you the full information and tell you where they were monted.

Re: A4 works plates
Many, many thanks I did,nt want to buy a Yeadons register for a one off. I thought it was Andrew K Mc Cosh. It belonged to my late cousin who bought it direct from Doncaster when the loco was cut up, so it has some provenance. It,s possibly going to be put up for sale. Again many thanks

Re: A4 works plates
On relection, I should have asked my cousin,s widow what numbers were on the back of the plate as I recall my cousin saying it had both running numbers scratched on the back, in any case thank you for your help.
