Durham / Re: The Tallyman in Sunderland

Thank you but the family weren’t Jewish,the ancestry was from Scotland and Southern counties.
The interest is how the female of a family considered the economics of the day changing occupations to suit. Husband was a Gentleman who felt he didn’t need to work!

Durham / Re: The Tallyman in Sunderland

Good morning,
Thank you for your information, I am continuing my late husband’s family tree and one relative was a Credit Trader around 1800’s-1900’s. The family were involved in Sailmaking then became Coal Merchants when sail gave way to Steam, and as a side line Elizabeth Wilson became a money lender.
My late husbands father was a son to Elizabeth and inherited the business of Credit Traders who had an office in Sunderland so obviously had become a legitimate Credit trader by the 1900’s.
The information is to continue the historical narrative he was writing about Elizabeth Wilson nee Parker.
We had dealing’s with the FHS a few years ago about Sailmakers living in Low Row Sunderland looking into apprenticeships for young Sailmakers.

Durham / The Tallyman in Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 07 October 25 10:45 BST (UK)  »
Good morning, I need information however trivial about ‘The Tally men’ who operated in and around Sunderland in the 1860-1900’s. When did they start issuing ‘vouchers’ allowing Clients goods from large town stores,
Binns
Blacketts
Joplings
Liverpool House etc.
This was when the Tally men/women became Credit Traders
and became legitimate.
Thank you,
Anna

Hi there,
Thomas married in the UK and settled here and raised a family.
Just hoped to find out more about him.
Thank you for the link,

Thank you so much for this, will try to get more information.
Wonder if this would have more details?
I am hoping to get to Kew but things get difficult when ever I try to arrange a date, family!

Durham / Re: Apprentice Records for Old Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 15 September 09 12:14 BST (UK)  »
Thank you for the information, is a visit to Kew the only way to access these documents?

By Old Sunderland I did really mean 'old Sunderland from the 1700's including all parishes'.
My interest in searching these records is to establish a link that has been severed by the fire at St Peter's which destroyed valuable information.
I searched the Bishops transcripts but there too were 'missing' years, especially the ones I needed!

Found this mentioned somewhere online but couldn't access more.
It relates to the whole of Great Britain, but having considered this I think it may all be kept at Kew!

'Registers kept by the Board of Stamps of the moneys received in payment of the duty on apprentices' indentures under the statute of Anne c5 and subsequent acts.
In addition to the sums received the registers record the names, addresses and trades of the masters, the names of the apprentices and the dates of the articles. Until the year 1752 the names of the apprentices' parents are given, but after that year very rare.'
