Title: Gethin Jones, PENMACHNO, apprentices
Post by: mgabgt on Monday 31 October 22 12:45 GMT (UK)

I believe my great grandfather was an apprentice joiner at Gethin Jones (builder), Penmachno - probably in the late 1850s. Does anyone know if records of such apprenticeships still exist or can anyone advise how I may explore this further?

The obvious place to look is North Wales Archives: https://www.newa.wales/
You’ve not said the name of your ancestor, but try various searches to try and see if anything is there.

I have tried a number of different searches and drawn a complete blank.

Does anyone else have any thoughts or ideas.
