Research Notes:
cutler, of the precinct of the Tower of London [Ref: Colket JENKS p86]

1592: apprenticed to a London cutler for a period of seven years [Ref: Colket JENKS-Father p170]

1592: apprenticed as cutler, term of 7 years, to John Wyat, of the Company of White Bakers. The Company of White Bakers recorded the apprenticeship, not because John Jenks was learning the trade of baking white bread, but because he was apprenticed to a man who happened to belong to the Company that had jurisdiction over the baking trade [Ref: Colket JENKS p86]

1596: by marrying Sarah Fulwater, violated his apprenticeship agreement [Ref: Colket JENKS-Father p170]

1596-99: lived at St Anne, Blackfriars, a parish on the edge of the Thames River at the western end of the City of London [Ref: Colket JENKS p14]

1599: returned to his apprenticeship, either due to death of wife or separation [Ref: Colket JENKS-Father p170]

1604: freeman. Normally this would be after the 7 year apprenticeship was complete; the five year lapse is unexplained [Ref: Colket JENKS p86]

1607: appears in the records of the London Company of Cutlers, shortly after James I had given the Company a charter to regulate conditions in the trade. The company had invited cutlers who were not members to register the marks used on their knife blades; John Jenks registered the thistle [Ref: Colket JENKS p87]
