Apprenticeship record
« on: Sunday 21 April 24 11:35 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I wonder if you could cast your eye over this apprenticeship record. I am looking at John, son of Firman Lemon of "Wickambrook" at the top of the page - it is the word after Wickambrook I am having trouble with. At the bottom of the screenshot, it looks like the same word is used in the line Thomas son of John Garnham(?) - I am wondering if it is deceased / deced?

Any help much appreciated  :)

Yep. I'd agree.
"deced" = dece(ase)d
