Janet had been a loyal member of our community for almost 25 years, and had been battling – with astonishing bravery and considerable determination – with multiple sclerosis over recent years. She will be much-missed by us all here, truly.

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.

ANNAPOLIS Printed in U.S.A. 1748-1775 This monograph is a summary of intensive research into documentary and second­ ary source materials pertinent to the history of maritime trade and commerce in the port of Annapolis, Maryland, during the third quarter of the eighteenth century. The research project was a part of the general study of the historic port area of the city of Annapolis, sponsored by The Old Dominion Foundation through a grant made in I960 to Historic Annapolis Inc. Early in the study period, the staff of Historic Annapolis Inc. was made aware of the wealth of documentary source materials that exists in the collections of the Maryland Hall of Records. In spite of the existence of unusually complete and informative manuscript sources, relatively little was available in published form that could be called "definitive" in terms of maritime activity in the historic port. Annapolis was a colonial seaport of some repute. Generally, it was held that the city's importance as a seaport was largely based on trade in tobacco. But the details of the tobacco trade, the variety of import and export items that passed through the Port of Entry, the volume of shipping that Annapolis had enjoyed in the eighteenth century, and the routes and ports of call of vessels trading out of the port had never been correlated.

  • Hostmens Company Book
    The Incorporated Company of Hostmen of the Freemen of Newcastle upon Tyne Membership and Governors of the Company From 22nd March 1600 to 8th January 2018 AD 1 The Incorporated Company of Hostmen of the Freemen of Newcastle upon Tyne Membership and Governors of the Company From 22nd March 1600 to 8th January 2018 AD 2 Foreword This record has been compiled by: Mr. T. R. Charlton. LCGI, DMS, Dip. Nebbs. and Miss Olivia Redpath, a Design and Research Student at Tyneside Metropolitan College. The record contains an extract of the charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600 AD that created the Incorporated Company of Hostmen of Newcastle upon Tyne and thereby the rules for the good governance of the company. There follows the lists of members, apprentices and governors of the company covering 418 years and 1,304 members; i.e. from the original officers and members to the present day. Every effort has been made to check the accuracy of the records but there may be some errors due to changing spellings over time and the reading of old records that were not as legible as one would have hoped for. The records from between 1901 to 1912 AD are not available, this consists of 15 records numbered from 1070 to 1085. Finally, there is a copy of the updated rules of the company that were adopted in January 2017 when it was decided that the rules from 1600 AD had become inappropriate, especially the powers to fine or imprison members for minor infractions. The compilers of this record wish to acknowledge the use of records of several other bodies to confirm the accuracy of our research and that of the records held by the company.
