Hi firstly please forgive me for joining this in such strange manner as I'm new to this but I just want John to know that I am in fact a great grandson of Joyce hood.
My brother was actually named after Roy.
And if you would like any info of either family members I'm happy to help.

Hi, six years ago I started this-where has time gone. For me new hip, new knee, heart attack and prostate op. Still not joined the ancestors yet though. Two things. My George appears in a new record I have found online. NSW Australia Hospital & Asylum records 1840-1913. Records George Hood aged 58 admitted 22.2.1892 and requested discharge 29.2.1892. This confirms birth date of 1834. On this entry is a remarks column which says "ANGLESEA" 1851 or 1857 Moulder --what does that mean. Moulder is occupation as that was what he was.
Another new to me record is for the baptism of his daughter Julia from the Sydney Australia Anglican Parish records 1814-1920. Julia ***** Hood born 10th July 1888, bap 15th January 1889. Can anyone work out her second christian name please. Her death certificate records her as Julia GEORGE Wood.

Thanks

John
ps-just a thought-does anyone have access to these baptism records and is his son George on them born 1890

HI glad to read you are still alive and kicking.

Maybe Anglesey 1851 or 1857 refers to the ship he arrived on

Jenn is correct, if you look at all the other entries in that column they are clearly ship's name in inverted commas and year of arrival which is 1851.

G HOOD
Age:   18
Arrival Date:   5 Dec 1852
Arrival Port:   Melbourne, Australia
Departure Port:   Plymouth
Ship:   Anglesey
Nationality:   English

The only extra info on the original record is that his occupation is 'Farmer' but many immigrants claimed to be farmers to get work.

.....parents were George Hood and Jane Golding/Samson/Low?

Comparing with the handwriting on the rest of the page, I think Julia's middle name is meant to be 'Samson'.

The 1852 arrival is of course problematic if you think that he married in 1856 in England and was still there in 1861.

Hello John and All

England - some Moulders worked at a Foundry where metal is cast into shaped moulds.

My British Dictionary and Thesaurus (pub. Glasgow) seems to agree and in the U.S. spelt Molder without the letter u.

Someone who forms or shapes metal, by using a mould.

Mould - 1. cast, die, form, matrix, pattern, shape.
4. carve, cast, construct, create, forge, fashion, form, make, model, sculpt, shape, stamp, work.
