Look up please for Totnes. *NOW COMPLETED, thank you *
« on: Saturday 19 September 09 17:39 UTC (UK) »

I have an Indenture document from the Borough and Parish of Totnes, dated 31st July 1805.   It is for a 12 year old lad called Richard Dain who was apprenticed to my 3x Gt grandfather Samuel Parnell who was a Cordwainer (Shoemaker).

Richard Dain was a 'poor child of the said parish' so would probably have been born there in approx 1793.

I am interested to know what became of him.  Did he finish his apprenticeship and work as a Cordwainer?  I have not been able to find him in Totnes Census returns and wondered if anyone else could look for me? 

Many thanks,
KateW.

He is not on any census up to 1861 in any county

Thanks for confirming what I thought.  Perhaps the next thing I should check is death records.

Thanks,

If he died - it must have been before 1837 as there is no death on freebmd

He may have emigrated

I think their apprenticeships only lasted until they were 21 years old so Richard Dain would have moved on by 1814.  There does not seem to be a birth record either, nothing on IGI, poor wee chap!!!
Samuel Parnell had another apprentice by 1817 who was 10 years old.

Thanks for your help Carole.
