Sydney was born in 1872 in East Retford, Nottinghamshire. His family moved to Portmadoc shortly afterwards when his father, Frederick, took up a position with the FR.
In the 1891 census Sydney was described as a railway clerk and he had been working for the FR since 1887. The records of a Board meeting in August 1893 show his pay was set at £1 4/- per week. Two further increase of 2/- per week were awarded from February 1895 and February 1896. Boyd [1] records that his salary in February 1900 was 30/- per week. On 15th October 1907, was appointed Traffic Manager. The 1901 census describes him as a Railway audit accountant and shows that he was by then married to Elizabeth and they had a son, Edgar Vyvyan aged 5 months, lived at Carnbrae, Penrhyndeudraeth and were wealthy enough to have a servant.
He had another son in 1904, Stanley Dean and a daughter Mary Julina in 1910.
Sometime between October 1907 & mid 1910 Sydney left the FR and moved to Widnes, Lancashire where he became an Auditor
