Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage - James Cookin / James Cook in W
« on: Tuesday 20 September 22 10:39 BST (UK) »Hi MarkHi
Thank you Claire, for the 1799 information.
In 1799 Mary Stears of Selby, who has the same Father (Thos Stears of Bewholme) as Frances Stears (a witness on Maudland HOOD's Marriage), married JOHN PROCTER of Stockton.
Notice the links to SCARBOROUGH too, in the 1799 Marriage.
John PROCTER's Father Stephen PROCTER was late of Scarborough.
Mary STEARS 1799 marriage is witnessed by Thomas PROCTER of SELBY, [father of William PROCTER of SELBY, also a Flax Dresser] who we know had links with my GEORGE HOOD.
Kind regards Mark
William HOOD is also named as holding premises in Mill Gate, Selby (formerly Beilby Lee of Selby, a Soap Boiler & Bankrupt, late of Hull, then Manchester after Selby). The names & Census suggest corner with Broad Street, Selby (alias Wide St / Micklegate), belonging to Wm Procter of Selby (written 1846).

As well as owning property in Wren Lane and Gowthorpe, George Hood at death / Executors also occupied property in Water Lane and Church Hill and owning part of Ousegate, Selby, mid 1840s.

I came across your post while looking for pre-OS maps of Selby and see you have shared a portion of one from the late 18th. Please could you point me to the source so that I can have a look at the full version?
Also, by some sort of serendipity, in the same post you mention the Proctor family. This is a family I have come across in the papers of the York Retreat (Quaker Asylum). In case you're not already aware, John PROCTOR (1799-1854), the son of John PROCTOR (1766-1837) & Mary STEARS (1761-1843) was admitted to the York Retreat in 1826, shortly after marrying Jane SPENCE (1800-1870) in 1824. Of particular interest to family historians are the letters to The Retreat from patient's families. The Proctors were quite prolific in their correspondence, and John was resident at the Retreat for most of his life. More details can be found in the Borthwick Institute catalogue https://borthcat.york.ac.uk/index.php/ret-1-5 , and the images are available from Wellcome https://wellcomecollection.org/works/g522gcy8
(Apologies if my post doesn't appear as it should - it's my first!)
