    Default Cordwainers & shoemakers

    I am trying to discover how long the apprenticeship was for a cordwainer about 1790.

    On some sites it suggests the usual 7 years, but on others there are shorter periods quoted. Was this therefore arranged between the master and the parents of the apprentice? the payment and period agreed between them?

    I am looking for details on a shoemaker (marriage iin 1794) in Knutsford, Cheshire, where there were quite a lot of tanneries around, because of the dairy trade I presume.

    I know that the statute was changed about 1814, but not sure how.
