In 1841 by great-great grandfather was an electroplate apprentice. He was 14 yrs. In later census reports he has his own business and describes himself as an Electroplate Master. Does anyone know about such apprenticeships? How long were apprenticeships? What would it take to become a "Master"? As a master could he train others? His son became an electroplater as well. For many years his business was located in his residence on Warstone lane. He had a large family. How much space would it take to run such a business? I'd appreciate any information you can provide.
