Hi Judy, In my response to your post last month, I noted that Benjamin WATERS, wine hooper, was made a Bristol Burgess on 7th. April 1784. His qualification to be made a Bristol Burgess was as apprentice of Charles WITHINGTON. I now have further information about Benjamin WATERS from the new CD, Bristol Apprenticeship Books Vols 1(o) to 1(z) Index & Transcripts 1724-2009, produced by Bristol& Avon Family History Society. Benjamin WATERS was apprenticed to Charles WITHINGTON, a wine hooper, whose wife was Jane. The father of Benjamin WATERS was noted as being William and he was deceased. The father's occupation was cordwainer and abode was Bristol. Date 21st. March 1775 Josephine
