apprenticeship - York
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 16:37 BST (UK) »
Does anybody know where I can find out about apprentices in York (c.1800) specifically cordwainers?  Have any of you been down this route before?  Also, I know by this time they weren't as fussy about Guild Membership so would a guy setting up business necessarily be allied to a Guild at all?  Strangely, my ancestor lived on Hungate in York, where the Guildhall for the cordwainers was but by then (1817) the hall had been sold off and the Guild disbanded in 1808/9

i think that county record offices usually hold indenture papers (apprentices to masters) - would be worth contacting.
