At age 20 my grandfather was recorded as being a Plumber in 1901. The 1911 census shows him as being a Plumber and Gas fitter and working for an employer in Liverpool. Later in his life he became self-employed. Does anyone know where I can find information on apprenticeships assuming that he became an apprentice prior to qualifying in his chosen trade. Can anyone give me an idea as where to look for this info. Any help would be very much appreciated. Regards Syl - UK

One of the papers we are treasuring for future generations is my father in law's "Indentures" when he became an apprentice joiner. I suppose we might be able to apply to his Union for some information. If your chap was in Liverpool, Syl, why not try somewhere like a plumbers union - I don't know of one, but it would be worth a try. We have references for both my father and Don's from their training days - maybe one day they will open doors for future generations, who knows?
