would anyone have any advice for me? I have been told my ancestor, Charles Wooderson, was a waterman and shoemaker. Would a shoemaker have been an apprenticeship in the 1820s? If so, are there any records I could concult or ask for a lookup from? Any comments or advice are welcome as I am new to FH.
