I have an ancestor who was a Hairdresser on the census records in 1841 and in the following census. He was born in 1806 in Islington London Middlesex. His name was Henry Foster . Would there be any records of him serving as an Apprentice. The same occupation is given on his sons marriage certificate. Thank you Pam

Hi Pam
I don't know the answer to your question but just adding this link to an old post here on RC that I thought you might find interesting www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=359878.0

I have my Great Grandfather's Hairdressing indenture from 1882 - he was deserted as a child so was brought up in a Pauper school and the indenture was raised by the Guardians. I also have my Granduncle's apprenticeship - he was also brought up in care so his was raised by the Guardians too. I got copies from the London Metropolitan Archives so your first step may be contacting them to see if they know if records are kept. You can email them at asklma@londonmetarchives.libanswers.com They charge quite a lot to do a search but if they have records you can go to the Archives and check them yourselves. Good Luck!
