Fran: Probably not, though you should chaeck withi Tyne and Wear Archives and tell them the name of the tailor or of the tailoring firm. There is just a chance that they might have the firm's records, in which case the Apprenticeship Indenture should be there. They have a card-index, compiled by the indefatiguable Fred Furness several years ago, to all such Indentures or other apprenticeship records they hold. As an interesting sideline from this, for modern indentures (say, 20th century), there should be, along with the Indenture, a copy of the birth certificate, as the age of the apprentice had to be proved before he could be taken on. You might then obtain a photocopy of the certificate for much less than the official fee!
