Hi I have been looking at the Norton Cuckney apprentice records today and found that there are details including where from age, date of birth, and when left. There were lots of apprentices that came from Lambeth Hackney, Tottingham St Marylebone etc too many for me to transcribe. Anyone with ancestors that were apprenticed out of their parish should check records in both parishes. The Norton Cuckney apprentice records 1786-1805 can be ordered though the LDS Family history centres microfilm No 1595763 it has a useful name index at the front so a quick check of that will establish whether there is further information on your ancestors. As for Nivard's ancestor Joseph Formigini well (brace yourself) the register was hard to read but it looked like in the column when left "in xxxx? gone" the gone bit was very clear. A date of birth had been written for him but crossed out and the same date written in the next entry. I did try to take a photograph of the microfilm but it didn't work I'm afraid. Joseph did not appear in the land tax or other parish chest records that I looked at today best wishes Kathryn Kathryn Hughes PhD WestYorkshireLives.co.uk BradfordWW1.co.uk

Hi Kathryn Many thanks for keeping your eye open for me I spent some time yesterday going through the 60 pages of apprenticeship pages for Lambeth, nothing new for my research but a very interesting exercise regardless, so many children being whisked away to pastures new, many to Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lancashire etc quite an eye opener I wonder how many people are struggling to find someones origins who seemingly popped up from nowhere in Derbyshire What must they have gone through and at such an early age Re Joseph FORMIGINI, I wonder if "gone" means he legged it or gone for good ? they are a little thin on the ground these FORMIGINIs Much appreciate the help, all grist for the mill eh :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 24/10/2012 13:54, Kathryn Hughes wrote: > Hi I have been looking at the Norton Cuckney apprentice records today > and found that there are details including where from age, date of > birth, and when left. > > There were lots of apprentices that came from Lambeth Hackney, > Tottingham St Marylebone etc too many for me to transcribe. > > Anyone with ancestors that were apprenticed out of their parish should > check records in both parishes.
