Further Notes

Restored - Clarke and six others attending this day were "restored to the Assistance" in accordance with an order of the Lord Mayor of 7 Oct. However, none of them attended the next Court on 3 Nov and all seem to have waited for the more formal restoration of 27 Nov 1688 before returning to the Table. --- Last Attendance - On 6 Aug 1694 the Court Book records that a Commission of Bankruptcy had been taken out against Clarke. --- McKenzie 3, pp.30-1 [N.B. Clearly not all the apprentices listed by McKenzie under the name of Henry Clarke at this point belong to the same master. Many were bound before the printer Henry Clarke (LBT/15486) was himself apprenticed or freed, yet some of them appear to be his apprentices. Those bound before the date of his freedom - 7 Jan 1678 - have been placed under Henry Clarke (LBT/15187) a scrivener, and for those bound after the date of the printer's freedom I note the possibility of either master. Nevertheless, the attribution of apprentices to both of these Henry Clarkes must be regarded with suspicion.] ---
