Apprenticeship

Vincent was apprenticed to Boosey Thomas in 1796.

According to Clockmakers Masters and their Apprentices list, John and and his son Thomas both had apprentices.

The lists include:

This shows that Boosey John had his son as an apprentice but also Leighton William who was the son of Archibald Leighton a member of the Sandemanian Church. Boosey Thomas had two apprentices. The first was Vincent Wanostrocht who may have been a Sandemanian because two of his daughters married sisters from the Chater family, another Sandemanian family. The second apprentice was Benjamin Wass who may be related to John Wass who was an Elder in the church, born 1751, admitted into the church 1783 and died 1831.

Vincent married Mary Bridget Giblin (1781 - 1824) on the 22nd June 1802 in Middlesex, England.^[1]
