Thomas LEDGER
Thomas came from Rotherham, Yorkshire with his Mother, Father and five other
brothers and sister, to Nottingham between
1790 and 1794. He was apprenticed in 1799 to Samuel Culley (Framework Knitter)
when he was fourteen years old. The following indenture shows the terms of his
apprenticeship: Thomas Ledger: Son of Thomas Ledger of Wollaton in the County of Nottingham, of his own free will and
accord. Put to apprenticeship by indenture of apprenticeship dated 4 Day of
October 1799, to Samuel Culley of the town of Nottingham, Framework Knitter. His executor
and administrator for 7 years from the day of the date, thereof. The consideration
being one penny. He was not yet out of his apprenticeship period when he
married Elizabeth Culley, his Master's daughter on March 21, 1803. She was only
sixteen and he was eighteen when they married at St Nicholas Church, Nottingham. There is no evidence to suggest the marriage
was forced due to pregnancy as the couple's first child was not born until June
3, 1804. Following his apprenticeship, Thomas became a Burgess by Servitude of
the City of Nottingham,
which allowed him to ply his trade and vote.
