Hi Everyone, I am wondering if someone could help me. Did an apprentice who worked in the Portsmouth dockyard back in 1790/1800 such as a Ropemaker (Spinner) get paid by the dockyard directly. Would they then have been shown in the Pay book for the dockyard?? With the deductions to the Master shown?? Any help greatly appreciated.
