Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / 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

Hi little h
I'm always snooping round the graveyards of Rotherham as most of my family are from there. Masbro' cemetery is HUGE Kimberworth is tiny (and very over-grown last time I visited) and though I've been round most of the graveyards looking for my own ancestors, I didn't find many of them, though I know they're buried there. What do you need to know, I'm happy to do look-ups next time I go to the records office. Rotherham Family History society have a wealth of information on CD (very reasonably priced)

Thank you both.
The amount of Lengs in east and north yorkshire pre 1840 is astounding, then they spread out all over the place. I know the family were in York from 1801 (when John married Hannah Morley) up to the baptism of the twins, William and Robert in 1817. After that there's no trace until William married in Leeds in 1837, then Robert in 1840. Their father John is not listed as deceased on either marriage certificate. I'm going back to York to see if I can find a burial/will on Monday. After that it's a wing and a prayer I guess.
Regards
Helen

Can't fault a man for rising to a challenge.... 
I'm sorry I have no idea where he was living in Leeds just that both sons were wed in Leeds Parish Church. Prior to this the family were living in York and I have no idea when they moved to Leeds or how long they lived there (I do know they had gone by 1843)
Charlotte Severs (the wife of William) was also born in York, which begs the question did her family move to Leeds also?
Mary Ann Wood, the wife of Robert Leng, was born in Leeds (c.1819), daughter of Thomas. I'm awaiting the marriage certificate of Robert and Mary Ann to get the occupation of her father and whether he was still alive in 1840.
I don't know whether there are any trade directories that might list the family. John (snr) was a shoemaker or cordwainer and all the sons were engineers
I hope you can help, Brian....there's Leng devotees all over the globe counting on a favourable outcome....geeeeeezzzzz

I don't doubt your goodness Brian 
but unfortunately my Mary Ann Leng is accounted for, dying in Rotherham in 1883. Good to keep you on your toes tho..hehehehe
If it helps, they all died in Rotherham...apart from John Leng senior, who is driving me crazy!
