Apprentice Records - ancestry
Another database indexed by the World Archives Project volunteers, though this one was only partially done by WAP and finished off by someone else. Anyway, the index should be free to search for everyone.
England, Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices' Indentures, 1710-1811 Despite the name, it does include some not from England. I'm very much hoping to find one or two of my elusive ancestors in there. Off to look now... |

Goodness ~ mild success
There's one of mine in 1795 but how annoying that it doesn't give any clue to the names of his parents

It's only the very early ones that give father's (or mother's) name.

I take it they have copied from the Society of Genealogists? Or have they gone back to the original records from TNA?
The SoG had some interesting errors, but I seem to remember some of those were actually present in the originals, particularly when it came to unfamiliar place names.

I thought the Society of Genealogists database was from the Livery Companies of London? Or have they got another apprenticeship database as well as that one? |
