 Masters of Apprentices registered at Oxford
(1720-1723)
Apprenticeship indentures and clerks' articles were subject to a 6d or 12d per pound stamp duty: the registers of the payments usually give the master's trade, address, and occupation, and the apprentice's father's name and address, as well as details of the date and length of the apprenticeship. There are central registers for collections of the stamp duty in London, as well as returns from collectors in the provinces. These collectors generally received duty just from their own county, but sometimes from further afield. Because of the delay before some collectors made their returns, this register includes indentures and articles from as early as 1719.

The 75th Regiment of Foot embarked for Bengal in May 1849; it helped suppress the Indian Mutiny, taking part in the capture of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow. It returned to England in 1862: the regimental depot was at Chatham. In 1866 the regiment was sent to Ireland; in 1867 to Gibraltar; in 1868 to Hong Kong; half the regiment in 1869 to Singapore; then in 1870 to the Cape of Good Hope and Natal. Each year just a handful of outstanding soldiers of the regiment were chosen for good conduct medals and gratuities: these are listed here. There were two lists, one for men recommended for the Good Conduct Medal without a gratuity, and one for gratuities - £5 to a private, £10 to a corporal, and £15 to a serjeant. Both lists are indexed here, and each gives rank, name, regimental number, date of recommendation and date of issue. (The sample scan is from the 105th foot)STEPTO.
