Board of Stamps - Apprenticeship Books

The Registers were kept by the Board of Stamps as a record of the moneys received in payment of the duty on apprentices' indentures. In addition to the sums received the registers record the names, addresses and trades of the masters, names of the apprentices and dates of the articles. Until the year 1752 the names of the apprentices' parents are given, but after that year very rarely. A fabulous resource for historians and genealogists.
