Please may I join this interesting correspondence. Is there a record of apprentices at the Oxford Studies Centre ? My relation GEORGE WING b Stone Bkm 1828 was apprenticed approximately 1843 to a Bootmaker in the Oxford area. He married in June 1848 so he must by then have finished his term. I have reason to believe that his apprentaship was sponsored by the "DIANA MASTERS BEQUEST " for poor boys chosen by the Rector of HOLTON OX a village in which he lived Mike Wing 2386. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Gadney" <rgadney@btinternet.com> To: <eve@varneys.org.uk>; <oxfordshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2011 6:11 PM Subject: Re: [OXF] Trade freedom > Hi Eve > > Thanks for taking the trouble to provide those inputs, it was good of you. > Unfortuately I am still in the positon of not knowing with any certainty > what can and cannot be inferred by information provided in the records > extracted and published as a the list of "Admission To Freedom of > Apprentices" held at the Oxford Studies Centre.

Hi Eve Thanks for taking the trouble to provide those inputs, it was good of you. Unfortuately I am still in the positon of not knowing with any certainty what can and cannot be inferred by information provided in the records extracted and published as a the list of "Admission To Freedom of Apprentices" held at the Oxford Studies Centre. I can't remember when or who carried out the work, or for that matter the document reference. As you are probably aware they take the form of - Individual-Qualification-Sponsors Name-Sponsors Trade- Date. I am more and more convinced that in the case of a grant of freedom based on inheritance that you cannot assume the son follows his fathers trade. I have in my Oxford Gadney collection of records at least 2 individuals, one in the mid 18th c and one toward the end of the 19th c where the Appenticeship Binding and Freedom to Trade records strongly suggest that they were carrying out a trade different to that of their father when he sponsored them. Unfortunately, as you say the practice died out at the turn of the 19thy/20th c a definitive answer may not be forthcoming but I live in hope. I agree with you, the resources available at the Ox. Studes Centre are superb, clearly a lot of people have put in a great deal of time and effort over the years to make them available. Regards Ray G

Thank you very much to all those who made some suggestions. I now suspect that Kezia may in fact have originated in Warwickshire but settled in Hornton prior to her marriage. Thanks again and best wishes Kim

Not before 1812, when 'using a trade to which he had not been apprenticed' was illegal. In Victorian times, this was notalways so rigid, so a few men may have moved to another trade if a good opportunity offered and they were able to pick up the skills. Some trades were jealously guarded or very difficult to pick up, of course. Those never apprenticed could > marry the daughters of freemen and pay redemption fees for the privilege of > trading in the wives' home towns, no matter what trades. Not before 181`2 - in general, the men who married wives or daughters of freemen were the journeymen trained by that man, who could not believe their luck. Again, things got more permissive in mid C19. But unslilled men (not apprenticed to any trade) would not have been popular anywhere. Oxford, if that is what the question refes to, was a corporate town and much stricter than some. There are brilliant records of apprentice bindings and burgesses (or were 40 years back).

Hi Richard Thanks for the reply, I agree that in the case of a grant of Freedom to trade on the basis of apprenticeship it is quite clear what the trade of the new Freeman is, however, I do not believe this is the case with a grant based on inheritance. It seems to be a quirk of these records that in the case of inherited Freedom to Trade they only record the trade of the father (the sponsor ) which is not necessarily the same as that of their son. Does anyone out there have knowledge or access to the primary sources which might throw some light on it? I believe that the lists of freemen are extracts of the Oxford City Council Acts, but as it is over 10yrs since I was able to visit the Oxford Studies Centre I might be mistaken. In the case I quoted, that of Frank John G. He had little if anything to do with his fathers trade of book-binding, as from at least the age of 17yrs (and probably much earlier) he was working in a tailors establishment. As Stephanie Jenkins highlights on her Mayors of Oxford site ( Headington.org) the advantage of an "inheritance" route over that of apprenticeship is one of cost, younger sons pay less than 10% of the standard fees and the eldest pay no fees at all. I hope someone can come up with a definitive answer. My thanks to all those members of this forum and the OFHS who donate their time to help others. Ray G

Can anyone tell me who published the approx 50 page 'Review of Enstone from 1871'? A search using Google failed to find it. Thanks Mike Nova Scotia, Canada

Vale & Downland Museum will host a family history day on Tuesday 14 June 2011. This society will be represented at the event by Alan Simpson, Howard Fuller and Tony Hadland, who will give help and advice to researchers, as well as having the society's "Search Services" - a database of census, baptism, marriage, burial and monumental inscriptions' data - available for consultation on computer. As part of the event, Tony Hadland will speak on "The Duke and the Miner's Daughter". Family tradition said that Tony's great-grandfather, Thomas Young, was the illegitimate son of a Duke. Using techniques anybody can employ, Tony discovered the truth was even more interesting than the legend. A second presentation on the same day will see Tony Hadland speak on "What my DNA test told me". After years of hesitation, Tony took a comprehensive DNA test. His aim was to prove or disprove a family tradition that his greatgrandmother was of Spanish descent. The test confirmed a cover-up ... The event and lectures take place at The Vale and Downland Museum, Church Street, Wantage, Oxfordshire, OX12 8BL. Admission is free. The family history day is part of the wider Wantage Summer Festival, the programme for which can be dowloaded from :- _www.wantage.com/downloads/programme2011.pdf_ (http://www.wantage.com/downloads/programme2011.pdf) Best wishes.

Ray Gadney, Apprentices of masters learn the trades of their masters, and may be freed after their terms of service have expired, their occupations the same as their masters'. They then are allowed to trade in the cities or towns where their masters lived. If they wish to trade in different towns, they may need to pay the redemption fees charged by these towns. But, once the apprentices have served their time and were freed, they are free to take up different occupations. Those never apprenticed could marry the daughters of freemen and pay redemption fees for the privilege of trading in the wives' home towns, no matter what trades. Your ancestor, the son of a master bookbinder, after his freedom was granted, obviously decided not to follow his father's trade but branch out as a tailor. If in a different town, you should check the freedom registers of that town for the payment of his redemption fee. Richard Goulden
