Apprenticed to William How { HOWE, William ( - 1600) ‹ LBT 07792 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from November 1st, 1577; but at some time not recorded he must have been transferred to Roger Ward { WARDE, Roger ( - 1598) ‹ LBT 08076 › } the printer, by whom he was made a freeman on August 25th, 1586 [Arber, ii. 82, 698].
