Got so much information and things to pursue for my tradesman ancestors. Another wonderful webinar, Paul, Jeff and crew!
Tremendous resources - never before knew about guilds and apprentice lists.
Paul can always be counted on to do a very thorough and well thought out overview of the topic he covers as well as offers a wonderful resources to consult later. It is clear he is subject matter expert!
Hi Alison, I found your posts on RootsChat \nre: your ancestor Jeremiah Carey. He married Margaret McKinnon & they had 2 daughters. Winifred Carey McCabe had my great grandmother Ethel McCabe with my great grandfather Joe Stanaway in Northland NZ they had my grandfather David Stanaway & he had my mum Monica Ruth Stanaway. I'm trying to find out more info on Jeremiah Carey. I see from your posts he passed in 1859 & I've found a newspaper obituary for Margaret McKinnon Fern where it mentioned she was the widow of Jeremiah Carey. She remarried a Thomas Fern. I can't find any info on where Jeremiah was buried or on his relatives. Was he Irish or Scottish? I saw on a post he married Margaret McKinnon in Edinburgh & she was pregnant on the ship to Sydney maybe with my great great grandmother Winifred Carey McCabe. What was the name of the son he had in Dublin? Did his son remain in Ireland? On RootsChat my profile is EthelMcCabeStanaway or email astromiss23 at yahoo.co.nz
Thank you Paul for sharing about resources for finding apprentices.
I love all of Paul Milners webinars they are excellent, I have ancestors from some of the same areas of Northumberland, Durham and New Castle upon Tyne.
Paul is so knowledgeable - I learned a lot about occupations and apprenticeships. Thanks!
I thought it was a good webinar, learned a lot of information
Great presentation. I liked seeing the photographs of people and their occupations. Thank you.
