SNATT, Josiah and Sarah (Grimwade p.665)

Post by MCB »

Duty was paid in 1778 by George Baskerville (Grimwade p.432-3), silversmith of Albion Buildings, for the apprentice indentures of Josiah Snatt.
A marriage record at St Leonard, Shoreditch in 1783 made in the names of Joseph Snatt and Margaret Turnbull was, in fact, signed by Josiah Snatt as the groom. This marriage was within seven years of the start of his apprenticeship and would have broken the normal conditions of his indentures. It may be one explanation why no record has been found of his obtaining his freedom, another being that no evidence for his master’s freedom has been found.
There are christening records at St Leonard, Shoreditch in 1784 for John, son of Josiah and Margaret Snatt of Christopher’s Alley and at St Mary, Islington in 1788 for another son John both of which confirm the marriage register naming Joseph Snatt was made out in error.
In records of Duty paid for the apprentice indentures of William Willis in 1802 and of Francis Powell in 1808 he referred to himself as a working jeweller from St Botolph’s parish, Aldersgate rather than as a freeman of a livery company.
Josiah Snatt had entered a mark at Goldsmiths’ Hall in 1798 as a small worker from Fan Street near Goswell Street and was assessed to Land Tax on property there until 1819 at which point, until 1822, the assessments were made on Jas. Snatt.
No further information has been found for Josiah or a connection between him and Sarah Snatt who had entered a mark at Goldsmiths’ Hall in 1819 as a small worker from Fan Street
