I have just found the apprenticeship registration details of a relative I'm researching in UK, Apprentices Indentured in Merchant Navy, 1824-1910. My question relates to the contents of the remarks column which just has a number. Looking at the remarks assigned to others in the register seems to indicate the numbers are in the range from 1 - 4. Is there a definition of what these numbers mean? His apprenticeship entry reads:- Name of Apprentice: Silburn Edward F Age when Bound: 16 1/2 Port of Enrolment and Date of Indenture: W Hartlepool 12.7.09 Term for which Bound: 3 Year in which Indenture expires: 1912 Name of Person in whom bound: The Pyman Steamship Co Ltd Particulars of Death and Cancellations: Remarks: 2 Regards Mike
