Merchants Taylors COMBINED sources for JACKSONs

I have extracted the names of JACKSONs from three sources:

This present compilation contains an alphabetical arrangement, in summarised form,

of the Abled Masters' Books from 1560 to 1835 (when parliamentary legislation finally

removed the Company's declining monopoly rights). These records of admissions to full

membership of the Company follow a fairly regular pattern, noting the name of the new

member, the date of admission, and the fees involved. Occasionally in the sixteenth and

seventeenth centuries further notes are made of silver plate presented or dinners to be paid for by the new members (these are noted in this present volume when they occur). A typical entry will read: 'Thomas Legget abled a master taillour the xvjth day of February [157819]and dothe pay for his abling xiijs. iiijd. and haithe paid to Master in hand iijs. iiijd. and other xs. that is behind to be paid at feast of St Mychaell next to come after the date hereof Suretie for the same Christofer Smytheson'. A close comparison of these books with other Company records has revealed that particularly in the seventeenth century there have been archival losses or deficiencies in registering the admission of some new members. A few individuals are found holding the office of searcher, for instance, but no record survives for their admission to the Company.

These records of admission or abling (as the Company termed it) have been supplemented by details of Company offices (searcher, warden, chamberlain, Master) held by individuals in the course of their careers (provided from information in the Court Minute Books and Company financial records). In those cases where admission was by apprenticeship, origins and details of apprenticeship have been obtained from the Apprenticeship Registers beginning in 1606. The information usually contained in these registers runs on the following lines: 'John Gardhouse sonn of Richard Gardhouse late of Hutton in the County of Cumberland deceassed bound apprentice unto John Burnett for 7 years to enter the first day of March 1685'. Of course it must be remembered that only a small proportion of apprentices went on to become merchant taylors or drapers of the Company. A full index of the 1751-1862 Apprenticeship Register was compiled some years ago by Mr John Malden and a typescript copy is filed with the Company Archives and can be consulted at the Borthwick Institute. Work on the earlier register 1606-1751 is still to be done and certainly would repay further study.

Further details of the history of the Company and its predecessor guilds is to be found in B. Johnson, The Acts and Ordinances of the Company of Merchant Taylors in the City of York, (London & York, 1949); its archives are catalogued in D.M. Smith, A Guide to the Archives of the Company of Merchant Taylors in the City of York (Borthwick List & Index 12, York, 1994).

Notes

vii

THE Foundation of Merchant Taylors' School was one of the results of that revival of learning which marked the reign of Elizabeth and showed itself conspicuously in the growth of the Grammar School system throughout the kingdom. But, as contributory causes, we must also take into account the public spirit of the age and the increased wealth which the extension of commerce brought into the country. Never did the merchants of London occupy a higher position than in the sixteenth century, when cadets of noble and ancient families* thought it no degradation to take an active part in the commercial enterprises of the time, and, perhaps by virtue of their ancestry, possessed and displayed some nobler faculties than the mere greed of gold.
