Hello 1753, Warren Symonson was apprenticed to Mr John Alcock of Skipton, Attorney (ref UK Register of Duties paid for Apprentices Indentures 1710-1811) I was wondering if anyone knows at what age someone would become indentured to an attorney in 1753. Would this indenture be to become an attorney? Any ideas where this indenture may have ended up? Regards Elaine

normally an apprenticeship started at the age of 14 and lasted 7 years.I have seen one that was for an Attorney and this was the case.

Normally I would have agreed with you June, but yesterday I had the horologist in to estimate for repairing my long case clock. He was telling me that the length of an apprenticeship for his profession was 10 years! Maybe the time varied with the profession.
