Apprentices registered in Derby
(1763) 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 name, 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. The indentures themselves can date from a year or two earlier than this return.

Each entry has two scans, the other being the facing page with the details of the indenture, length of service, and payment of duty.) IR 1/54HALSWORTH. Cost: £8.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
