The Lighter Side / Re: WHAT WAS THE SADDEST DEATH IN YOUR TREE?
« on: Saturday 23 July 05 16:58 BST (UK)  »
Mine has got to be my Gt Grandfather Albert Littlewood

He was a coal miner working at Treeton nr Rotherham and living with his large family in a small house in Attercliffe Sheffield.
1926 the year of the General Strike the miners stayed out for 10 months and in September of that year Albert went searching for work on outcrops (coal which appears on farmers fields) so he could feed his family
The next day his body was found mutilated on a railway line. A train had hit him killing him instantly. An open verdict was recorded at the subsequent inquest.

thanks

The Common Room / Poor Law Apprenticeship Indenture
« on: Tuesday 19 July 05 19:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi all my 5 times gt grandfather was apprenticed out by the poor law as a carpenter in 1790 this was for a term of 3 years
in 1790 he would have been 21 and as far as I am aware apprenticeships ended at age of 24 though I may be wrong
my question: is the age of 21 a common onr for apprentices?
all the best
steve
