Hi Mike No one else from the list seems to have addressed your question so I thought I should reply. I am not the best person to give advice though as it is over ten years since I was able to visit the studies centre. As far as I am aware there are no lists of apprentices as such, but you may find your person of interest in the list titled "Admission to freedom of Apprentices" unfortunately I did'nt take note of any library type reference at the time (my early attempts at recording sources left a lot to be desired back then) As mentioned recently on this list there is a book "Oxford city Apprentices 1697-1800 but that wont be any help to you as you are looking at 1840.
