If there are any records to be found they will be at Bristol Record Office. Have a look at this

You may find something useful in the Bristol Burgess Books, available on CD from the Bristol & Avon FHS.

Alternatively, if you're in London you can see the same data on microfiche (indexed) at the Society of Genealogists' library. A visitor fee is payable by non-members.

.........and also if you want to work from original records............Apprenticeships were subject to tax in the 18th century. The records from 1710/11 to 1754 are available on CD from The Parish Chest.
An early entry will tell you who was apprenticed, the name of his/her father and the name of the master and the trade/craft/skill as well as tax, length of term and a date. The entries are listed in date order.
