Title: Freemen of Berwick 1710
Post by: JFarrell36 on Saturday 26 January 08 11:49 GMT (UK)

Thomas, son of James Burn of Cheswick, apprenticed to
John Turner of Berwick 13 January 1703.  Admitted Freeman 3rd February 1710

Could anyone give me further information about this please? I haven't got a clue where to start.

Perhaps you would do better putting this post on the Northumberland board.  Berwick upon Tweed is in England - not Berwickshire.  I know its confusing but thats how its been since the 15th century.
