Does anyone have a clue where I can even begin to try and find records for Tailors? I have googled, searched and hunted till I'm blue in the face but nothing that tells me WHERE I can try and find them. After a run of cotton spinners and ag labs, I'm now inundated by Tailors in 3 different counties! Thanks Lou x

Hi Lou I think all apprenticeships records are kept at Kew. You could ask if anyone is visiting there in the near future. Regards Irene

Thanks Irene I'm going to Kew in July but when I tried searching their catalogue, I couldn't see any references to Tailors in there which is why I wondered whether they were elsewhere Lou

Hi Barbara & Ross I've googled Worshipful Company of Tailors and Guild of Master Tailors but everything seemed to be for Australia, Eire or South Africa. Will give it a go now, thanks! Lou x
