Help with an Apprenticeship Indenture
« on: Sunday 09 February 25 07:25 GMT (UK) »
Thanks to Staffordshire people, I was delighted to find the Apprenticeship Indenture for someone I believe is my 4th great grandmother. There are some bits of it I am having trouble to decipher. If anyone can help with this I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance folks,

David

Thanks so much Kay99.  That DOES look pretty good and actually suggests a birth date now too.
Thanks again.

I've extended Kay99's reading a little and tried to put it into sequence with the printed form.

To go further, should you wish it, we would need a bigger presentation from the original.

Thanks, that is helpful. I greatly appreciate expertise and experience of others that I do not have!

I could put the whole document up though its size would make it unreadable to all, I think.

Thanks again, from down under.
