Its in Mark's court now.

The William Hood 1816 to 1817 Will may answer if this is another dead end ??? of not with George as it all down to George's year of birth-? and where he got all his wealth from.

John Hood died 82 (b 1737) in 1819 and George only supposed 28 (or 20) in 1815 suggest there was/is a generation in-between John d 1819 and George d 1845 if there is a connection ?

Hello Goughy and dobfarm

Thanks for your research and these inputs and the suggestion of a Will for a William Hood of circa 1817, I'll be looking that up at our Library, definitely.

Regarding Rebecca Frazier's site and a birth date of c.1795 with no supporting death date for George Hood, I have seen identical information on the net before.

There has been a past attempt it seems to link George Hood to Nobility, or Gentry.

However, I feel that this may have arisen, because when my George Hood of Selby, Brewer, Tanner etc., purchased parts of the Manor, a 'George Hood' was one of the parties who had to sign a Release, so that the Lease and Release (Sale) could be made.

Petre & O'rs To Hood
The Right Honourable William Henry Francis Lord Petre and the Honourable Henry Charles Howard commonly called the Earl of Surrey and the Honourable Edward Robert Petre late of Stapleton Park in the County of York, but now residing in Brussels, [sold parts] To George Hood of Selby in the County of York, Brewer.

Comments
I was aware that a George Hood had rented parts of the Manor from the Lords and then sub-let it to his 'Undertenants' (various Trades & Merchants).

But when Rt. Hon Petre, Hon Howard and Hon Petre now of Brussels wanted to sell parts, the aforementioned owners, also a George Hood, Charles Henry Pigot of Great Marlborough Street in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman and some other named Merchants had to sign a Release, before George Hood of Selby, Brewer purchased those parts of the Manor in Wren Lane and Miclegate, Selby.

I am presuming that the same 'George Hood' one of the parties signing the Release, was the very same George Hood, Brewer of Selby who was purchasing parts.

Kind regards, Mark

William Hood Will  1817- had a bob or two

Hard to read but William's wife is Ann Hood and had a son called William Comber Hood, daughter Mary Ann M Hood and Willaim Hood  deceased of the Will owned a Wharf  at Earls street (that's at Blackfriars Southwark, London)  and left his son George some money-lots of it

The Hoods were Iron Merchants and manufacturers of ammunition for the government in the Wharf at Earl Street, and Charles & Thomas continued the business.  William was a wholesale bookseller and publisher.  All described as Esq and gentlemen.   There are a few Merchants with the name George Hood in London but I can't pin down a link to William Hood.

We'll have to try to see if this George Hood bapt 1795 birth year unknown, of William Hood and Ann Comber of Wakefield, had any history in London like marriage, census and death/burial (newspapers) to try to eliminate him.

If Not-?

If nothing comes up to eliminate, what are the likely chances its George of Selby d 1845 as we had two death ages 60 and 63, George Death age 1845 GRO is likely to be the one iffy coming from an informant

Census age 1841 seems most likely best yard stick for George's age( +/- Ie 49 but near enough to say 50 in business, older makes one sound wiser as elder in the cummunity) 50 of Selby. If  George born 1794 - = aged 47 in 1841

Captain John Hood would have berthed his ships there in London.

George Hood of Selby d 1845 must have got wealth from a family like this one and had knowledge in business

Ann Comber was residing in Yorkshire and married William 1782 in Wakefield

John Hood had a son William bapt 1766 birth year unknown Scarborough with brothers Richard & Christopher.

Hello Goughy and dobfarm

I am really sorry, especially after all your valiant efforts and surrounding research of this family. However, I really do not think that this Will of William Hood, with a Wharf at Earl Street, Blackfriars, dated 27 October 1813 and Proved 7th March 1817, is related to the Hood family at Selby?

Household items were being left to Wm Grousell[?] of Barnars Castle Copper Office, Ann Lindsey of Recton Surrey, Wm Cadell Jun'r of Princes Street Edinburgh, John Green of Dell Lodge, Blackheath, Wm Crawshay of [---?---] Thames Street.

It seems Wm Hood's daughter Dorothy A Hood was being left £1500 and to their son Geo Hood £800.

The Two daughters and George Hood, being William Hood's [Testator's] children were to receive interest every half year. After William Hood's [Testator's] decease, George Hood his son had the power of calling in the [---?---] of the aforesaid sum of £18 with all convenient speed for the purpose of [---?---] himself a Company into any of His Majesty's Regiments of Foot.

Comments & new research in Selby Land Tax records
However, I would describe my George Hood, originally a Cooper at Selby, when he got established along with his sons, sub-let property, brewed and retailed beer, tanning and was 'comfortable working class'. Sarah Hood, his wife was a Straw hat maker.

If George of Selby had a business mind, made sensible decisions, costed his plans, got his money in, got other small business men in advance on board to renting the properties, before he committed to renting property from the Manor initially, then I feel George could probably make enough money to buy property and whilst his sons were training, they would be doing a mans work, at a lower wage to start with.

Also our family did not start having second forenames until circa 1870s, the people being left household items, I have never heard of before.

I am sorry, but it does not quite fit right, the only possible confirmed link to John Hood the Yorkshire Mariner who operated from/through Selby, is to the Gun and Shot Wharfe, Southwark, nearby, in the 1770s.

It would seem from the Land Tax records below, that the Selby Tenements (although they had changed ownership), that "Mrs Slipper & J Hood" were Occupiers in 1781 & 1782, later given as Mr Hood the Occupier around 1800 and in 1814 George Hood being an Occupier, appears to link J. Hood [which we believe to be John Hood the Mariner of Selby] to George Hood, as no other Hood's seem to be in the township of Selby, around that time period.

Selby Land Tax
1781 and 1782
Proprietor                       Occupiers
Mr Turner  2 Tenem'ts  Mrs Slipper & J. Hood

Selby Land Tax 1814
Proprietor          Occupier
M' Spencer        1st Ten'mt  Mr Hood
                            2nd ----------   -------------

1. Would be interested to know please, if Mrs Slipper (in the Tax document of 1781 & 1782) was nee Hood, before marriage?
2. If a George, or any baby boy, was born to a lady with the surname of 'Slipper' at Selby, circa 1780 to 1782?

Of course Mrs Slipper, could simply be the occupier of one of the two Tenements, but it is written "Mrs Slipper & J Hood"

Many thanks, for your searches and continued interest.

Kind regards, Mark
