ApprenticesApprenticeship records can be a mine of useful information. One example is the collection of Board of Stamps Registers kept by the Inland Revenue Office in London to record the names, residences and trades of the masters and the names of their apprentices, together with the dates of the articles. The early records also often give the name of the parent or guardian of the apprentice, a real advantage to research in the years when such information is harder to find. The registers were kept as a record of the duty received on apprentices’ indentures and record the date when the duty was paid. They cover the whole of the country.
