Thank you dobfarm and Goughy
Regarding my find in the 1795 Selby Land Tax Records and the part for the town which states this, for "Mr Hood" an Occupier:-
Proprietor Occupier
M' Spencer 1st Ten'mt Mr Hood
2nd ---------- -------------
are you able to find a possible death/burial date please, for John Spencer, a Mariner of Scarborough and this Mr Spencer, a proprietor of the two Selby Tenements? Thank you.
I can then try ordering a Will/s.
About 50 years ago, when I was a boy, I vaguely remember by Grandmother coming to see us in England, after going to Scarborough for her holidays a couple of times.
The vessel "Brothers" Captain John Hood was plying its trade from Selby to the Gun and Shot Wharfe, Southwark, London, to York and Selby in 1778, for Messrs Perkins and Robinson, who had Agents in Wakefield, Leeds, Mr William Brooke in Selby, York and at Salter-Hebble, near Halifax.
John Hood was Captain of at least 3 Coasters and Brigs and in November 1782 John Hood, was Master of the 100 tons Brig called the 'Mary of Inverness', lying at Newcastle Quay. Particulars of the vessel could be got from "Thomas Snaith, at the Office of William Chapman, feu. in the Folly, Newcastle."
"Inventories to be seen as above, and at Mr Thomas Wate's, North Shields."
(print is poor, could be Thomas Ware, North Shields.)
Noted on the 16 February 1777, that John Hood had sailed, Hull for Sunderland on the York Union.
If 63 years is correct for George Hood at death in 1845 and if his mother was on the boat, George could have been born on a vessel.
Thanks for the suggestions, I've got some ordering to do, but I'm after the Spencer/s Will/s first, so possible death dates would be helpful, please?
Kind regards Mark
