Excerpt from Register of the Freemen of the City of York, Vol. 2: From the City Records; 1559-1759 Tms volume carries the list of the Freeman of the City of York from the 1st of Queen Elizabeth to the end of the reign of George II., a period of 200 years, and, as stated in the previous volume, to the date of Mr. Davies' list, which covers the years from 1760 to 1885. It adds the names and occupations of Freemen to those published in Vol. I. Perhaps the principal interest it contains is genealogical, for it will be found that there is a very notable increase in the number of those claiming their freedom by patrimony; and as, in each instance, the name of the father is given it willbe found a great help to searchers in tracing their descent from the citizens of York. The most notable admissions to the freedom by order are, perhaps, the names of William, Duke of Cumberland, in 1745, and William Pitt in 1757. It is interesting also to note the very marked addition to the number of trades, arising from the prosperity of the country and the increase in the wealth of the inhabitants of the city, bringing with them the greater demand for the comforts as well as, what were then considered, the luxuries of life.
