Re: CLARE, Joseph II (Grimwade p.465)
1750 Jan-Aug Joseph son of Joseph Clare London Goldsmith free by patrimony. The elder Joseph's freedom date from the books was 4 November 1712. The paper also has the year 1732 below 1712 which although not specified seems to ordinarily apply to the birth year of the person being made free (the paper appears to have been spindled at what looks like the two in 32). In this case I believe the second year given, 1732, applies to the year that the younger Joseph's apprenticeship began. Jeremiah Marlowe Goldsmith was among the guild members that signed for this admission.
