I have a question on the possibility of exploring documents related to my grgrand born Llywel, Breconshire in 1849. Does anyone know if documents exist for indiviuals bound out to service in Breconshire? The following is from the obit of Isaac Price in 1923: "Forced by the poverty of the times, at the tender age of seven, he was bound out, at service, to a farmer and began the struggle of gaining his daily bread....." I recently had a conversation with a friend who was able to locate legal documents dating from 1830 in Devon, England for an "appenticeship in the art of husbandry" for a 10 year old girl. An indenture was filled out before witnesses and 2 Church Wardens who were all acting for a group charged with overseeing help for the poor. If anyone has any insight on possible ways to explore this in 1850's Breconshire I would be grateful to hear from you. Gwen gisaac@netins.net
