Are records for occupations held in HALS.
« on: Saturday 07 January 06 22:36 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help, my 2nd greatgrandfather was born in Bishops Stortford and at the time of his wedding in 1844, he was residing at Butchery Green,  his occupation was listed as Tanner, what I am wondering is, where and who he would have worked for. If records of employment are held for work back then would they be held at HALS. If not how can I find out more.  Thanks

I have a list of HALS holdings on the Resource board.

HALS does hold some apprenticeship records which could prove useful.

I would have thought that in 1844 a tanner would be working for himself.  He would be buying skins, tanning them and selling them to saddlers, harness makers and shoe makers.

Rick & behindthefrogs


will check out both suggestions, if as you say David that he was self employed, there may be no records, thanks again it is most appreciated.
