Title: Apprenticeship lookup
Post by: Ed8mund on Wednesday 09 February 11 15:39 GMT (UK): Please would someone be so kind as to look up Parish Apprenticeship records for Blacksmiths in the Castle Bytham, Stamford area. I am looking for a Francis Allen.

Thanks you

Post by: LizzieW on Wednesday 09 February 11 16:26 GMT (UK): FindMyPast have Apprentice records for 1710-1774 only and they are not sorted by county, or even year, only into series, Series 1 covers 1710 to 1762 and Series 2 covers 1763 to 1774. That means it's necessaary to plough through all pages of A.s covering Allen, so before I do, let me know the dates you are looking at.

Francis Henson Allen was born in 1786 and died in 1818. So somewhere during this period he was a Blacksmith in the Castle Bytham Area.

Hope someone can shed a light on this.
