Durham City Guild Apprentices Indexed records DCG 1/1-3, 7, 9-11 DCG 9/1, 3, 6, 8 DCG 2/1; SANT/GUI/DUR/1 DCG 10/2, 4-5, 7-8 DCG 3/2, 4, 7-8 DCG 11/2, 7-8, 15-16 DCG 4/1-4, 6-7 DCG 12/3 DCG 5/2, 6 DCG 13/2 DCG 6/1-2, 5 DCG 15/1-2 DCG 7/1-2 DCG 16/1 GUIDE • This index comprises a list of all Durham City Guilds apprentices recorded in the above records, in alphabetical order. • Researchers are advised to browse widely among possible variant spellings of surnames. • Apprentices’ parents or guardians’ names, where present, precede masters’ names: s abbreviates ‘son of’, and es ‘eldest son of’. • Apprentices were often re-assigned or ‘turned over’ to new masters, in which cases an additional (adjacent) entry has been made in this index. These turn overs can be identified by checking individuals of the same name, parentage and indenture/registration date within the preceding 7-10 years. (While the date of such turn overs, when reported in the original record, is recorded in an underlying database, the first indenture/registration date is repeated in this index at each of an apprentice’s subsequent turn overs to aid identification.) • Two dates are usually available for each apprenticeship record, those of the apprenticeship indenture and of registration, the latter usually within a year of the former: where both dates are recorded only the indenture date has been reproduced below. • Where an apprenticeship was cancelled or not completed ‘X’ follows the date: reasons for such cancellations vary from death, abscondment, voluntary withdrawal, enlistment or ejection. • Apprenticeship terms typically ranged from 7 to 10 years, depending on the Company, occasionally with an additional contracted year as the ‘hired man’ of the master: an apprentice might seek admittance as a freeman of the Company and of the City immediately upon the completion of his term of servitude, (he being over 21 years of age), or after a period of years. Apprentices traditionally served from the age of fourteen. The period of servitude, when known, is stated in round brackets after the admission date, where (N) indicates an unknown number of years. • Eldest sons of freemen might, upon reaching 21 years of age, in turn gain their freedom by ‘patrimony’ without serving a term of apprenticeship. In the Mercers’ Company (and, for a period, in the Drapers’ Company as well) any son of a freemen could gain his freedom in this way. Consequently the index of freemen should also be consulted in order to be sure of making a comprehensive search of the indexed guild records for any particular person. • The presence of a parent or guardian’s name does not necessarily indicate they were living at the time the apprentice was bound to his master. • Due to the incomplete state of the records there will be many instances where either only an apprenticeship or only an admission record survives for an individual, and on occasion a master will be noted for whom no apprenticeship or even admission record is extant. In general a newly admitted freeman would not immediately take on an apprentice so soon after his own apprenticeship had been completed, but for freemen admitted by patrimony this rule may not apply as consistently. • With the steady decline of the guilds’ power in the city from the 18th century, and with increasing industrialisation, a freeman’s guild became less and less indicative of which particular trade he practised; thus, for example, a person apprenticed to a Barber in the later period will probably not have been training in the craft of a barber. • Durham freemen were exclusively male until 6 February 2012.
