You'd need to check this, because I have no idea how complete it is or the time span, but I think that the City of London Record Office holds freedom records.

Thanks so much for looking Sue. It was just another way of pinning him and his family down, and worth a try. I appreciate your help. Rgds Maggie

Thank you Sue, I would be grateful. I am trying to find out about William Edwards b. c1822 St. Lukes. He is listed as a watchmaker/jeweler on the censuses and I was hoping there would be some kind of record of an apprenticeship for him. I would think about 1837 or so, depending on how old they might have been when they began their apprenticeships. Anything you can find would be wonderful. Cheers Maggie

I am wondering if there is any site where I could look up apprenticeship records for a watchmaker in about 1842? Does anyone know where I could get any information at all on this? Many thanks. Maggie
