was an Apprentice

Between the sixteenth and the nineteenth century, everyone who wanted to
practise a trade had to serve an apprenticeship. Consequently, we all have
apprentices amongst our ancestors, and could find a great deal of information
about them if we knew where to look. A wide variety of sources survive. These
include apprenticeship indentures and registers, stamp duty registers, freemen's
registers, borough court and guild records, and many other documents. These
sources are available in many record offices; a few are online.
Hitherto, there has been no adequate guide to these records. This book remedies
that situation. Stuart Raymond, who is well known for his numerous handbooks and
guides for genealogists, begins by outlining the history of apprenticeship. He
then takes you through the wide variety of sources that are available,
explaining where you can find them, what information they contain, and how you
can use them. This book offers many clues to those who wish to trace their
apprentice ancestors.
