Ha ha, thank you, will check out NA tomorrow. The other thing that interested me too was that with the family in 1861 is a William Jowett, Boarder, who is a Joiner. Wondered if maybe Samuel was HIS apprentice or whether it was just coincidence Lou |

Lou From Mark Herber's 'Ancestral Trails' 'The terms of an apprenticeship wre set out in a document known as an indenture, one copy of which was signed by the child's parents (or guardian) and the other by the master... Many apprenticeship records survive in guild, parish and taxation records...some (indentures) survive in family papers and business archives... The SoG [Society of Genealogists] has an indexed collection of over 1,5000 indentures from 17th-19th centuries, known as Crisps' Apprentices' Indentures... Some charities assisted poor families to pay the premiums required by masters. Most of these charities' records are in CROs [County Records Offices] Indentures or registers of apprentices also survive in city or borough archives and some have been published...The registers for England and Wales known as the Apprenticeship books are at the National Archives in series IR 1' nell |

My ggrandfather was a Joiners Apprentice in Derbyshire on the 1861 census. Would this have been a contracted Apprenticeship or something informal? I'm wondering if records of the apprenticeship would exist. Lorraine kindly checked British Origins for me and there was nothing and google just gave me a long list of sites that didn't really help. Thanks Lou |
