1718 Register of Apprentices' Indentures
« on: Friday 17 January 14 13:35 GMT (UK) »
It would seem that Ralph Shadforth, shown below, belongs in my family tree.  Can  anyone read the word after 'barber' please?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards

Excellent Stan! I believe you are correct!
I've been puzzling over this for a while but could not make head nor tail of it.

Thank you very much indeed, Stan, and also Ruskie too for your interest.  I think this must be the first Peruke-maker I have amongst all the Ag Labs in my tree.  Incidentally, in 1715 Ralph Shadforth is listed as 'Barber Surgeon, Wax-maker, Rope & Stringer, Tallow Chandler'.

Kind regards and thanks,
