Waterman Apprenticeships London
« on: Tuesday 30 October 12 09:20 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have access to Waterman apprenticeships for London. Seeking the appenticeship date (and master) for Owen Adams (?-?)  who maried Susannah Nichols (?-?)  at St George in the East, from  Shadwell in 1735. Baptised William in 1738-1738, Martha in 1743 and Dorrington in 1744 all at St Pauls Shadwell. And
Dorrington Adams ( ?-1732) married to Milicent (?-1743) They were baptising Milicent (1709-1709) Nicolas (1714-1714) and Elizabeth (1717-1718) all at St Pauls Shadwell

Thanks Llandinam. Know the site. Their  parish records are a bargain, but they do (Opps modification) NOT have apprenticeships online. Its where I started my Shadwell journey.

Hi Karenlee. Your a marvel. What can't you find? Now the $64 question is what age did people generally start their Waterman apprenticeships in the 1720's. Just been able to answer that one myself. (14 to 20)

Would you like a list ? ;D ;D ;D

Not seeing Dorrington yet, but after seeing how his name was badly mis -spelled in Parish Registers, I am not surprised.
