 Apprentices registered in Worcestershire
(1793)
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. (The sample entry shown on this scan is taken from a Bristol 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 1/66BRUSH. Cost: £8.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge

The provincial sections of the Universal British Directory include lists of gentry and traders from each town and the surrounding countryside, with names of local surgeons, lawyers, postmasters, carriers, &c. (the sample scan here is from the section for Hull). The directory started publication in 1791, but was not completed for some years, and the provincial lists, sent in by local agents, can date back as early as 1790 and as late as 1797.

The unsuccessful attempt to gain possession of the enemy's lines near New Orleans led to nearly 2000 casualties among the British forces, 23 December 1814 to 26 January 1815. The report of the losses gives the army officers' names, not those of the rank and file: but there are separate returns of naval losses during the capture of three American gun-vessels, listing all the sailors killed and wounded.BRUSH.
