Apprentice Records - Edinburgh/Leith
« on: Saturday 10 June 06 17:01 UTC (UK) »
I'm trying to find the apprenticeship records for two of my ancestors.
Thomas Thomson, born about 1820, lived in Leith and was a blacksmith's apprentice.
Thomas's brother, Alexander Thomson, born about 1826, also of Leith, is listed as an Engineer apprentice.
Does anyone have access to Edinburgh/Leith apprentice records for the period 1830s/1840s?

Any other information on Thomas Thomson(1820-1900) and his spose, Elizabeth Glen, also welcome.

Family probably from Leith, but Thomas snr worked in shipbuilding in Burntisland, Greenock, Durham, Hull, and Millwall/Poplar.
My g-grandfather is David. Family moved to Isle of Dogs 1857.
Some of family settled in Hull area.

Hi

These records are on Ancestry.com

Also if you Google  "Midlothian Apprentice Records" you should get a link to a book digitised by Google which gives lots of information about apprentices in the area
