Shropshire / Thomas Chester Apprentice Cordwainer to William Skenton (or Skelton), Wem
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 10:05 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about Thomes Chester (c.1742) who was probably first recorded as having completed an Shoe Apprenticeship under William Skenton (or Skelton) at Wem, Shropshire (Salop), England in 1759.
He went on to be a Cordwainer in Grinshill, Shropshire (Salop), England, where he was also the Church Clerk.
We have not been able to relaibly locate his birth, baptism or parents, his birth date comes from his gravestone.
If anyone has further information about Thomas, or William Skelton or Shoe or Cordwainers in Wem of this period I would be very interested.
