  • Notes 
    • Noted publisher of Shakespeare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Smethwick

      John Smethwick was a freeman in the London Stationers Livery Company.

      1589 - John Smethwick apprentices to Thomas Newman
      1597 - Evan Edwardes apprentices to Master John Smethwick
      1597 - John Smethwick is listed as freeman

      If his apprenticeship with Thomas Newman began in 1589, he was probably 14 years old, thus born around 1575.
