Tradesmen of York (1559-1759)
No man or woman could trade in the city of York without having obtained 'freedom' of the city. Their names were recorded on the 'Freemen's Roll', or Register of the Freemen of the City of York, which contains about 16,600 names for this period. A list of names was prepared for each year. Each annual list starts with the name of the mayor and the camerarii or chamberlains. The chamberlains were freemen charged with the duty of receiving the fees of the new freemen; of seeing that only freemen traded in the city; and of preparing this roll, which was compiled from the names on their own account books from the receipts for the fees. There are three groups of freemen: those who obtained freedom after serving out an apprenticeship to a freeman; the children of freemen (per patres); and a handful who claimed freedom by 'redemption', i. e. by purchase or gift from the Mayor and Court of Aldermen.

Members of the Kent Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture and Industry (1793)
This society was established at Canterbury 26 January 1793, its chief objects being: to excite by premiums and otherwise, a spirit of emulation among the ploughmen; to encourage a spirit of industry among the labourers; to reward the labour and industry of those poor labourers and cottagers who shall breed up, or have bred up, the greatest number of legitimate children, either without any, or with the smallest relief from their respective parishes; to encourage diligence and industry in servants of both sexes employed in husbandry; to promote the knowledge of agriculture, by encouraging experiments on those subjects which are of the most importance to it, by distributing rewards to such persons as shall raise the largest and best crops of natural and artificial grasses, and the several sorts of grain, on any given quantity of ground, the nature of the soil being taken into consideration; to encourage the improvement of waste lands, by inclosing, draining, manuring, raising plantations, and by the introduction of vegetable food for cattle; to encourage the improvement of the breed of all sorts of live stock; and to provide for their health better than has been hitherto done; to promote all improvements in the various implements belonging to the farmer, and to introduce such new ones as the experience of other counties has proved more valuable than those now generally used in this; &c. This initial membership list, arranged by full name (surname first) and address, includes not only the mass of annual subscribers, paying a guinea a year each, but also the benefactors (B), honorary members (H) and perpetual members (P).
