Nottinghamshire / Re: William Tuckwood-Apprentice Shoemaker 1800 ish.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your reply.The Lincs Archives have no records of William,but the info that he could possibly have been a Journeyman is very interesting.If he was born in Welby to William and Amy (Dring) he was left on his own after 1799. Amy died 1799,his brother Thomas died 1798 and his father (I think) re-married to Elizabeth Bee in 1800,so if he was learning the Shoemaker Trade it made sense to go out and find work.
I can't find a Shoemaker/Cobbler Guild info.I phoned Northampton but they were unable to help me.
Hello Sheila,
Thank you for all the info,where did you find the newspaper report? Can I get a copy? Sooo interesting!!! I think Elizabeth's death is the correct one with the wrong age as it would be too much of a co-incidence to be two Elizabeth Tuckwood living in Cross St.
I live in Skegness Lincs, so to come over to Notts Archives would be an all day job.Any help I can get would be appreciated.
I'll check on Beck St/Beck Lane on Google Earth to see if they are same place or near to each other.
Until we speak again,
Maggie
