have look on A.....y under UK apprentice in Merchant Navy 1824-1910 records. It may be the same as I got from Fmp. Name Harcourt Kite. Should be Brixham trawlerman apprentices.

Thanks

Found the entry you wants :-

Harcourt Kite; age 15;
Reg. or indenture date 26 April 1897;
Brixham;
term 6yrs;
year in which ind. expires 1903;
to whom bonded Albert S Gempton;
remarks, fishing;
then in red in the remarks column "confirmed 13.12.97"

Have checked with FMP and the above actually gives less information than you got on FMP though it is nice to see the actual image .

Thanks Elaine. I've been sitting on this one for a couple of months. Can't decide whether to send off to Dr Barnardos to see if they have still a record for him. If so there's a 12 month wait.
