Hello Kathy I'm not an expert on these registers so there may be further information somewhere but here is my understanding of the situation: The original of the Inland Revenue Apprentices Registers are held at The National Archives at Kew. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ They have an information leaflet about the records here: http://tinyurl.com/7cjl7 TNA can carry out research for you, or you can have an independant researcher visit Kew on your behalf. More information here: http://tinyurl.com/72q5q Microfiche copies of indexes of masters', and of apprentices' names will be found in the Microfilm Reading Room [at TNA]. These are copies of those created and held by the Society of Genealogists, and a further set of copies are in the Guildhall Library, London. The indexes are also online on the SoG pay-per-view website http://www.britishorigins.com/ but you only see the first and last name on each page of the index, not all the names, and they are not in strict alphabetical order either so you cannot be sure that an name you are searching for is actually in the index. There is not one register per county, each register is compiled from returns from collectors, each of whom covered a certain area, any one page of the register can include returns from a number of different collectors and hence areas. Archive CD Books has reproduced the registers on a number of CD ROMs, you can find out more here: http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/acatalog/Apprentice_Records.html Good luck Colin Moretti I'm a member of the Anglo-Italian Family History Society http://www.anglo-italianfhs.org.uk Looking for MORETTI, PAGLIANO, BARGMAN, in London CADWELL & MILLER in Cambridgeshire & Huntingdon TYAS, IVESON, WOOD, ABBOTT in Yorkshire ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Irwin" <condor@texasonline.net> To: <ENG-HUNTINGDON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 1:52 AM Subject: IR Apprentices Register > Hello People, > Would anyone happen know where the Inland Revenue Apprentices Register for > Huntingdonshire might be held and if there's an e-mail address to use to > contact them?
