"Apprenticeship registers in the City Archives show that William Tarrant son of Hesthar (sic) Tarrant late of the City of Oxford deceased was apprenticed to Samuel Moore, an Oxford cordwainer, for seven years from the 28th April 1802. He subsequently became a freeman of the city on 8th May 1812. Freedom of a borough before the Municiple Corporations Act of 1835 rarely had the honorary connotations that we know today; rather it provided a license to trade, the right to vote, and access to other privileges. Freedom was usually obtained through apprenticeship, as in William Tarrant's case, or by patrimony (ie. being the son of a freeman)."

My cousin was with me when he came, but she left me then. I left a child three years and a half old in the room.
