Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: George Hood Burial where? Died Selby, Yorks 18 September 1845 Part 3

Hi Mark,

Fantastic news on finding George's burial after so long - persistence certainly does pay off.

Concerning the Texas Hood's, When George Arundel Hood emigrated he started calling himself George Arrington Hood for some reason.... perhaps Arrington will surface again a generation or so further back :-0.

If you don't mind, perhaps you could let me know how to apply for the burial records so I can add it to my Hood files?

Well done again.

Richard

Has anyone ever managed to check Wistow parish registers for a baptism or burial?

When I visited Texas in '98' the Hood descendants there had no idea that the Hood family was so big as George Arundel Hood who emigrated had changed his name to George Arrington Hood - reason unknown.

It was said that the James Hood's female children lived with one of the grandparents whilst the males lived with the other and my grandad said they had a 'roving commission' - tinkers, my mum says' which is why they travelled so much.

The Arundels a couple of generations further back seemed to be spelt Arundale, which may throw out the 'illegitimate theory', although a lot of the time in the c16/c17 the surname seems to have been determined by the vicar at baptism and how he spelt it.

Hi,

I am the 2x great grandson of James Hood and Sarah Arundel, and therefore George Hood is also my 3x Great grandfather. I have also been doing family history since 1992.

Firstly, I do not have the birth of George Hood either, but I may be able to offer my 'tuppence worth' and also what happened to James' children.

In the 1990's I obtained a photocopy concerning the memorials at Selby Abbey which showed that Matt'w Hood buried there was from Wistow and recently I have obtained a copy of 'The History Of The Parishes Of Sherburn And Cawood'; page 285 concerns owners and tenants of land in 1711-12 and states that the Hood's were resident in Wistow since 1379 and was 'of repute'.

https://books.google.com.pa/books?id=G2cuAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_atb

So what happened to James and Sarah (Arundel)....?

They left Selby and moved to Scarborough, then Durham and then Derby.

James died in 1894 and is buried in Nottingham Road Cemetery Derby
Sarah moved to Mansfield and died there in 1911 in the Quaker Burial Ground - YES SHE WAS A QUAKER.

Also, the 'family story' our branch has always had was that Sarah Arundel was the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Arundel (the Fitzalan family).

Now their children:

Mary Ellen Hood  - Married Arthur Chapman (buried Scarborough) and after his death moved to Doncaster and then died at 20 Beaumont Street, Portland Place Middlesex in 1910

Elizabeth Cook Hood - married John Blanchard Sugars and moved to Scarborough - Died there in 1935

Adeline Hood - Moved to Scarborough and married Thomas Featherstone

Sarah Hood - Moved to Balby and married William Oswin

John Wilkinson Hood - moved to Derby and married. Living at 81 Fowler Street in 1911

William Russell Hood moved to Scarborough and Durham - I don't have a lot on him at present

James Alfred Hood - My great grandfather - moved to Scarborough, Newcastle, joined the Royal Engineers and then moved to Ilkeston, Derbyshire and is buried there 1931

George Arundel Hood - Emigrated to Texas, USA and I am in contact and have visited his descendants in Texas and California

Bernard Pearson Hood - Moved to Scarborough and Durham and then to Derby. he is buried in Nottingham Road Cemetery and died in 1944.

I am living 'down south' now and so the recent discovery of Wistow means that I may have to take a trip up north to look through the original registers!.

Happy to correspond further.

Richard Taylor
