Re: servant

 

Hi Ken

I have ancestors who were freemen in the medieval period and it was either by trade or patrimony...ie dad was a freeman so could pass it on.?

??

This link gives useful info about how, in the 1700s freedom was bought and all kinds of workers were included so that might explain it.?

Hope that's useful?

Jane?
Chasing Wheldrake/Wheldrick/Weldrake/Weldrick...any likely variation, any time, anywhere.?

I know this was explained earlier, but I would appreciate a “refresher”: I have, on the ticket admitting an ancestor as a Freeman of York in 1798, his status given as “servant”.?

Aside from the obvious definition, what status or occupations would be included at that time in that designation?
