Occupation Interests / Re: Watermen and lightermen Apprenticeships Bindings and licences
« on: Saturday 08 October 11 10:02 BST (UK) »Hi
So many questions i hope someone could help,
back in 2008 you posted a load of Tuckey waterman. I am researching William Tuckey born in london in 1802 approx and listed in the 1841 census and in baptism records for his children as a waterman or lighterman.
in your original list one william tuckey didn't finish his apprenticeship so am i right in supposing that he wouldn't have had the right to call himself a waterman in census returns?
also the william tuckey who it might be was apprenticed in 1812 when he would have been 10 - 11 years would that be correct?
is there anywhere that the apprenticeship agreements can be looked at?
Thanks to all the fellow genealogists out there, you're always so helpful
