Cottrell has been instrumental in indexing the records of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen of the River Thames. He has, on microfiche, their Binding Indexes from 1692 - 1908. A detailed computer printout showing the apprentices full name and date of binding, location, Masters or Mistress full name and date of Freedom, if granted, is available at UK 5 per surname. Affidavit printouts for the years 1759 to 1897 can be requested after the date of binding is known.
