Apprentices of the Bowyers’ Company 1680 – 1806

Young people came from all over the country to be apprenticed in London. For the family historian, their origins would probably be untraceable were it not for the apprenticeship registers of the City Livery Companies which give details of the name, occupation and parish of the apprentice’s father. For this reason, The Society of Genealogists has commissioned a series of abstracts of such registers with the aim of covering all apprentices up to about 1800. After that date, the number of apprenticeships started to fall considerably and fewer apprentices came from outside London.

Cliff Webb abstracted and indexed the apprenticeship records of the three companies associated with the bow and the arrow: the Bowyers, the Fletchers and the Longbowstringmakers. These were published in 1996 as Volume 3 in the London Apprentices series.

The apprentice registers of the Bowyers covering the period 1680 to 1806 were extracted from the records of the Company held at Guildhall Library: MS 5349(10 volumes) – Bowyer Company Court Minute Books, 1679-1899, including a record of freedom admissions from c. 1656 and apprentice bindings from 1679: Vol 1 – 1679-1727; Vol 2 – 1727-1758; Vol 3 – 1758-75; Vol 4 – 1775-1806

The full list of the apprentices is set out in alphabetical order in Appendix I. These have been analysed to reveal the following:

1. There are 497 entries and the numbered references which follow refer to order in the list in Appendix I.

2. There are only 495 apprentices listed as two pairs of entries are duplicates.

101 Cox alias Streete Jacob s ... to Edmund Johnson 5 Nov 1691 415 Streete, Cox alias, Jacob s ... to Edmund Johnson 5 Nov 1691 104 Crosby, Gandy alias, Rebecca d Chriskenham, Ipswich, Sfk, blacksmith to Richard Elliot 9 Aug 1687 165 Gandy alias Crosby Rebecca d Chriskenham, Ipswich, Sfk, blacksmith to Richard Elliot 9 Aug 1687

3. Nine of the Bowyer apprentices were women. They were admitted between 1685 and 1746. 36 Beesley Margaret d John, Hose Grange, Lei, gent, to Richard Elliot 30 Nov 1688 104 Crosby, Gandy alias, Rebecca d Chriskenham, Ipswich, Sfk, blacksmith to Richard Elliot 9 Aug 1687 171 Gilberne Catherine d Isaac Lewis, St Peter le Poer, Lnd to Catherine widow of Isaac Lewis

4. All of the apprentices came from England with the exception of one from Scotland and four from Wales.

459 Watson James s James, Fettercairn, Kcd (Kincardine), schoolmaster to John Thurstone 10 Mar 1697/8 134 Edwards Owen s Thomas, Llandderfel, Mer (Merioneth), yeoman to Enos Milward 26 Feb 1747/8

5. There is just one mention of lands overseas:

478 Williamson William s William, late St James Westminster, Mdx, now in East Indies to Edward Duncombe 13 Feb 1788

6. The Gregorian Calender was adopted in Britain in 1752. Under the old Julian calender, the first day of the new year was 25th March. Accordingly, where any date in the records falls between 1st January and 24th March prior to 1752, the year is given in both old and new styles. For example, John Allwin was admitted on 24 Jan1716/7 which was 1716 old style but 1717 new style. For the purposes of statistics, the new style has been adopted. An analysis by year is set out in Appendix II.

The analysis shows that there was a marked decline in the number of registrations per year between 1680 and 1806 but in only 7 out of the 126 years were there no registrations at all. The average is 4 per year, the highest number of registrations was 13 in 1683 and 75% of the registrations were before 1746.

7. The parish or town of origin is stated in 381 entries. Of the remainder where no place of origin has been given, 72 are sons of freemen or liverymen (and so are presumably from London), 11

are from an un-named parish in London and one is from an un-named parish in Northamptonshire. In only 32 entries is there no record at all of a place origin.

8. Three of the places of origin are not identifiable on modern maps: “Futersfield” in Yorkshire (457); “Kingsted” in Kent (313) and “New Hall” in Staffordshire (417).  

9. Two of the places of origin are of particular historical interest.  

“The Liberty of the Rolls” (252) was originally a “liberty” which became a civil parish in 1866. It is named after the Rolls House on Chancery Lane which was on the site of the Public Records Office, now occupied by King’s College, London. A “liberty” was an area outside the usual system of hundreds and boroughs, usually because of some peculiarity regarding its tenure.

“The Old Artillery Ground” (79) was situated in Spitalfields and was part of the Liberties of the Tower of London. Originally the outer precinct of the Priory and Hospital of St Mary Spital, it was converted to an Artillery Ground in 1538 for the use of 'The Fraternity or Guild of Artillery of Longbows, Crossbows and Handguns' (later to be known as the Honourable Artillery Company) and the Gunners of the Tower. In 1658 the Honourable Artillery Company moved to its present site at Bunhill Fields leaving the Gunners of the Tower in possession of the area until 1682, when it was sold for development. The site can still be identified by the street names: Fort Street, Gun Street, Artillery Passage and Artillery Lane.

10. It is to be expected that many of the parishes within what is now Greater London appear several times in the list of registrations. Putting these on one side, there are 27 provincial towns or villages which appear more than once. The references in brackets refer to Appendix I.

Four entries: Hitchin, Hertfordshire (264, 316, 330, 465)

Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire (27, 145, 244, 361) Ross, Herefordshire (186, 202, 273, 424) Three entries: Aston Abbotts, Buckinghamshire (210, 212, 222) – two are sons of Thomas Hawkins Aylesbury, Buckinghamsnhire (83, 366, 492) Blean, Kent (393, 396, 402) – all three are sons of Thomas Smith Two entries: Burnham, Buckinghamshire (413,451) Chipping Wycombe, Buckinghamshire (60, 342) Cublington, Buckinghamshire (158, 411) Dagenham, Essex (200, 364) Dunton, Buckinghamshire (124, 127) - both sons of Edward Duncombe Highworth, Wiltshire (268, 287) Llanderfel, Merioneth (134, 307) Loughborough, Leicestershire (43, 144)

Maidstone, Kent (176, 197) Navestock, Essex (92, 351), Reading Berkshire (218, 306) Romford, Essex (331, 433) Sherington, Buckinghamshire (263, 279) St John Horsleydown, Surrey (61, 148) Swallowfield, Berkshire (460, 461) Waltham, Leicestershire (270, 271) – both sons of Robert Lee Warwick, Warwickshire (108, 359) Wendover, Buckinghamshire (28, 235) Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire (182, 183) – both sons of Thomas Greene Wolverhampton, Staffordshire (19, 74) Worcester, Worcestershire (352, 496)

11. The name of the county was denoted by a three letter abbreviation. The distribution by county is set out in Appendix III. The majority of the apprentices were from London and the Home Counties. In 18 cases, the name of the county is not given but can be deduced from the name of the parish. In 102 cases, no county or parish of origin is given. However, 72 of the apprentices in this category are sons of liverymen which suggests that they may have come from London.

12. The father’s occupation is stated in 369 of the entries. This information can be used to give some indication of social background and an analysis is set out below.

The list above does not include the 72 apprentices whose fathers were freeman or liverymen. In those cases, whilst the livery was given, there was no mention of the father’s actual trade or occupation.

13. Amongst those fathers who were merchants and tradesmen, 96 different trades are recorded. These are listed in full in Appendix IV together with an explanation of the less familiar trades.

14. 72 of the apprentices were sons of freemen or liverymen of City livery companies. They can be distinguished from un-liveried tradesmen by the title of Citizen, abbreviated to cit. Only 11 of the apprentices were sons of Bowyers ( 62, 139, 163, 219, 228, 350, 383, 428, 437, 452, 491). 37 livery companies are represented including the Pinmakers (174) which is no longer in existence (see Appendix V).

15. Eleven of the apprentices were apprenticed to women.

Mary Turner, Ann Clifton, Catherine Gilberne, Mary Blackstone and Edith Wright were described as widows. Ann Herbert, who was also a widow, and Mary Gibson were both mothers of their apprentices and Catherine Gilberne was mother of three of her four apprentices, one son and two daughters.

16. Of the 495 apprentices listed, 8 were “turned over” to a second master or mistress. (35, 57, 134, 145,

170, 184, 295, 383). Accordingly, there are total of 503 masters and mistresses listed and these have been analysed in Appendix VI. Six of the apprentices were turned over to masters who were not members of the Bowyers’ Company: 35 Bedingfeild John s Thomas, Highgate, Mdx, butcher to Joseph Gale 17 Apr 1701 turned

17. A number of notable names stand out from the records.

Thomas Sainsbury (1730-1895), who was an apprentice master of seven apprentices (see Appendix

VI) was Master Bowyer 1774-1776 and Lord Mayor of London 1786-1787. He came from Market Lavington in Wiltshire, as did one of his apprentices, Charles Parry. 328 Parry Charles s Richard, Market Lavington, Wil, apothecary to Thomas Sainsbury 24 Oct 1765 Thomas’s daughter, Maria Sainsbury, who died in 1843, was the last freewomen of the company.

Charles Offspring (sic) Blackall (52) was the son of Dr Ofspring Blackall DD, Bishop of Exeter from 1708 to 1716.

James Arding (9) was the first of the Arding family to join the company. There have been six Arding Master Bowyers: James Arding the Elder (1852-54 and 1862-64), Seymour Charles Arding (1914-16), Gerald Frank Arding (1918-20), Oliver Arding (1952-1954), Bertram Arding (1956-58) and Clive Arding (2002-2004). Clive’s son, another James, was admitted to the livery in 2003. James Arding the Elder’s fourth son, Charles (Chas) Arding, served as Clerk for 43 years (1858-1901).

Cuthbert and Thomas Mashiter became apprentices in 1793 and 1794 respectively (293, 294). There have been five Mashiter Master Bowyers: William Mashiter (1800-1802), Thomas Mashiter who served two terms (1836-1840), Octavius Mashiter (1840-1842), Thomas Mashiter (1870-1872) and William Mashiter (1872-1874).

The above analysis has revealed the facts but, in doing so, has raised a number of interesting questions.

• Why would one choose to be apprenticed in the Bowyers at a time when the longbow was no longer of military importance? The possible answer is that by 1680, when this series of apprentice records began, many freemen and liverymen did not practise the trade of their company but, by custom, if one was free of any company one could (with a few exceptions such as spectacle making) practise any trade. Conversely, without such freedom, one could not enter into the commercial life of the City. Accordingly, apprentices were not restricted in their opportunities by electing to join the Bowyers Company.

• One can understand young people coming to London but how were people from afar introduced to the Bowyers' Company? Of the 495 apprentices only a few of the introductions can be readily explained: 11 were sons of Bowyers, one was from the same home-town as a future Master and Lord Mayor and 6 followed their brothers. In addition, two or more apprentices came from 27 towns or villages and it is possible that the first to go to London made the contacts for those who followed. It is likely that the majority were found positions through relations, friends and business contacts.

• The social background of the fathers extends from senior clergy and gentlemen to labourers. Why would those from higher up the social scale choose a minor company such as the Bowyers? For the gentry, who practiced primogeniture, there would have been limited funds for the younger sons. Many second sons were apprenticed in the City and the premium for an apprenticeship to a minor company would have been much cheaper than for one of the Great Twelve. The clergy, even senior clergy, may not have had much capital.

• There were only nine women apprentices during the period studied. Was this low number of women the same in other livery companies during this period? Cliff Webb has carried out a study of the apprentice records of 57 livery companies before 1800. The percentage of women ranged from 0% (Gardeners, Fruiterers and Combmakers) to 13% in the case of the Pinmakers, which incidentally was a very low-status company. The women Bowyers represented 3% which was mid-range of the companies studied.

• Why were the majority of the sons of freemen/liverymen not apprenticed to masters from their father's company and why were apprentice Bowyers apprenticed to masters from other companies? On these particular points, the work of Cliff Webb has indicated that these practices were not uncommon. Interestingly, he has identified many examples of apprentices registered with other companies being apprenticed to Bowyers. It seems that leaving home and going to live with another household was an essential rite of passage. The literature of the time indicates that few teenagers stayed at home and many were sent as servants to other families, even if local. In view of the custom of London referred to above, the master’s livery company was no restriction and many still went on into their father’s business.

• What were the reasons for being "turned over" to another master? There were a number of reasons for being turned over: the master may have died or gone out or business or there may have been ill-treatment. In some companies, the master had to be present when the apprentice was bound and, if the master was not available, the apprentice was bound to another and then turned over. In the Bowyers apprentice records there is one example (383) of an apprentice being bound and turned over on the same day. Turning over was also used when the aim was for the apprentice to end up in the right trade regardless of the initial company. For example, if an apprentice wished to learn the trade of plumbing and become a member of the Plumbers’ Company, he might be apprenticed to a master who was a member of that Company but not a practising plumber then be turned over to a master plumber who was a member of another company from whom he would learn the secrets of the trade.
