Death in Leeds 1840s -evolved into 'which Atkinson is which!!"

[mebertkau]

Hi Gillum-the John Atkinson I'm looking for was born 1818 and died 1901 in Stoughton Wisconsin.
His dad was also a John Atkinson and we believe he died in 1840 but no guarantees on this. We believe the mother was Mary-don't know her maiden name-that she fell on hard times after her husband died and became a washerwoman-she also had a 15 year old daughter Ann at home. I appreciate your help.

Barbara, I will go back and re-check for you.  The reason I gave the above gentleman, was because I have a disc of Leeds Burials.  ...

Hello Brian,

Thank you for the list.

My Hood list of unknown burial places was in reply # 46 above, but I'm happy to repeat the unknown Hood burials below, as someone must have come across them during their research?

Those of special interest below died at Selby, but have NO SELBY BURIAL:-

George Hood died 18 September 1845 Disease of the Heart 18 Months Certified, aged 60. Born Yorkshire (per 1841 Census) had a Tannery at Gowthorpe in Selby and started a Retail Brewery from c.1824-1826 at Wren Lane and had a second Malt-kiln at Gowthorpe, Selby - birth & burial place unknown.
(There was another George Hood, soldier dying earlier in September 1845 at Leeds, but George Hood the Army man of Leeds is not mine.)

Richard Hood, dying 2 May 1850

Mary Hood, dying 24 November 1854
Ellen Hood, dying 27 July 1855

That was the reason I sent the list!
