Quote from NA: Registers kept by the Board of Stamps of the moneys received in payment of the duty on apprentices' indentures under the statute of Anne c5 and subsequent acts. In addition to the sums received the registers record the names, addresses and trades of the masters, the names of the apprentices and the dates of the articles. Until the year 1752 the names of the apprentices' parents are given, but after that year very rarely

I was just looking on the Norfolk Roots Forum and found this info which may be of use to many of us:: I'm sure that you're all aware of ArchiveCD Books census returns and Directories on CD-rom - you may not know that they recently released the Board of Stamps Apprenticeship Records 1710-1755 covering the whole country.
