Parish of birth (Big medicine those years) was the authority responsible for the people who was born in the said parish and even if they moved away to another, parish, city or town, this showed more for the parish responsibility of poor folk welfare but also in legal stuff for rich folk.

Thanks Goughy for looking at Riccall.

Hello dobfarm
Regarding Selby Gowthorpe and Wren Lane property Deeds, Mortgage/s might possibly reveal perhaps another family member elsewhere, lending George the money.

Poor Records - Selby
Regarding the Selby Parish Records (PR SEL) Overseers and Poor records, the Borthwick have the "Overseers of Poor Election" apparently dated 1837, specifically listed in an online Pdf of their records on microfilm. Hopefully, they might have original Election documents for 1838 too?

North Yorks Record Office, have under reference BG/SB  Selby Board of Guardians Records

West Yorkshire Archive Service have some early 20th Century records under WRD 7/ and WRD 12/ relating to the Selby Union 1901, Memoranda and Statistics in relation to Guardians 1929 and a plan of the Selby Poor Law Institution 1930.

All the above have been emailed.

North Yorkshire County Council hold the plan, of the County Poor Law Institution - Selby (G Floor Plan 23)

Also West Yorkshire Archives, at Wakefield have records of the Selby Union dated 26 January 1837 and 11 December 1837 in their Quarter Sessions records under QE 5/ .

Also, the former Selby Institution has been through the NHS during the 20th Century. The Guardians Board Room is mentioned.

So I have asked the Borthwick for photocopies of the Selby 1837 'Overseers of Poor Election' and hopefully they have 1838 too? Perhaps George Hood may also have been elected the year before in 1837? But I wish to have copies of the 1837 (if no 1838 Overseers Election in Selby records), to see what general information they contain.

Kind regards, Mark

London and Surrey Bond marriage bond allegation

17 August 1778

John Hood parish of Scarborough, a mariner Widower
to Sarah Hammond Widow (Does not say where she came from)

ref MS 10091E/91

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah  Hood  — burial  1785  Scalby  Near Scarborough, York, England  ???

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John Hood X Jane Newby marriage: ???

3 November 1793

Scalby Near Scarborough, York, England

Hello All

Maudland Hood, a Spinster aged 20 years, married Charles Turner at Selby 27 November 1794 (checked on microfilm)

After seeing the above, I should like to confirm accuracy of and discover more about the following I have found in the Selby Parish Register Transcription (Yorks Archaeological Society):-

Selby 10 April 1795 Elizabeth Turner Baptised 1st daughter of Charles & Morland.
... "Morland dau of John Hood of Selby, Mariner by Elizth his wife, dau of John Spencer of Scarbro', Mariner. Born 6th Apl"
Transcription - Not checked.

Morland Hood or Maudland Hood was the daughter of John Hood of Selby, Mariner, with Elizabeth Spencer, whose Father was John Spencer of Scarborough.

There must be Marriage for John Hood & Elizabeth Spencer, before 1774 (as Maudland Hood was 20 when she married)?

George Hood - my 4 x Gt Grandfather
There is no Selby Birth, Baptism or Burial of George Hood, (1841 Census born Yorkshire), in the Selby Parish Register transcript. Also I cannot confirm if John Hood the Mariner was George Hood's father.

Captain, John Hood
Adverts dated 21 September 1778 in The Leeds Intelligencer newspaper of September and October 1778 indicates that the Ship called Brothers, Captain was John Hood, along with other ships in a list.

Also stopping at many Yorkshire places (named). A regular return of the said ships from Selby to London. From the Gun-and-Shot Wharfe, Southwark, London to Selby and York, the advert states.

Regards Mark

Hello Goughy

Jane Hood wife of John Hood buried 1803 at Selby refers to John being a Mariner.

Thanks for that information, about Elizabeth Hood, wife of John Hood, burial in Scarborough on 24 December 1775.

According to the information gathered on John Hood the Mariner of Selby, he appears to be the same John Hood Mariner of Scarborough.

I suspect John Hood of Scarborough a Mariner met up with Sarah Hammond on one of his sailing Jollies to London.

A lot of background information is coming together on here for John Hood, the Mariner, but just got to track down the John Hood of Selby 1819 Will (cart before the horse research really), it is not in the Borthwick Volume.

If not, it's back to the drawing board, or back to George Hood!

The other possibility is, with George Hood the Tanner dying at Selby in September 1845 aged 63 years  according to two newspapers, then the 16 October 1781 Birth and 20 October 1781 Baptism of George Hood at Topcliffe by Thirsk, cannot be ruled out, or did he die young?

I have printed off the three George Hood's born Yorkshire and still alive on the 1851 Census:-
aged 60[?] at Thimbleby and born Baldersby;
aged 60 at Langthorpe and born Milby;
aged 71 at Cawton and born Sessay;
so they can be ruled out as possibles.

Thanks Mark

Hello Goughy

Thank you for the updated information, I have noted that on my paper notes.

If John Hood was a Mariner throughout from 1778 to circa 1803 (when Jane wife of John Hood, Mariner, was buried at Selby), there could be another John and Jane marriage, but there might be a change of occupation (a gap in his sailing occupation)?

I'll try and attach the sailing.

Thanks for the update Mark

Hello All

Regarding George Hood's September 1845 burial place.

Found this in the Hull Packet 23 June 1807, which left me wondering if the coasters and sailing vessels from Selby took the dead to other Yorkshire towns, or even a burial at Sea?

"On Thursday se'nnight, at Hembrough, after an illness of two years, Mr. Thomas Abbatt, for the last seventeen years agent at Selby, to the undertakers of the Aire and Calder Navigation."

Perhaps some of the dead in Selby were ferried by river to their last resting place of choice?

George Hood's wife, Sarah Hood who died in November 1879 does not appear to be buried in the Selby Churchyard. Also not listed in the Selby Cemetery records (opened about 1858), according to Selby Council.

Or, is the word 'undertaker' a business expression to undertake or perform certain duties for the company as an Agent?

I shall have to enquire on Monday.

Regards, Mark

To take your mind in another direction..

We know George Hood d 1845 Selby, Cooper/Tanner had a bob or two (Money) in business- ??.
Likely Elizabeth Spencer John Hood's first wife died pre 1778 (Of Scarborough)

Therefore Sarah Hammond (Widow wife of Widower John Hood of Scarborough 1778) is likely by date to be George's mother if George was Capt, John Hood's son ?

Sarah Hammond   (Maiden name unknown) her father could have left George his serious wealth in a Will.


Cooper/Tanner need a history of learning the trade to carry on in business, which does not come from Sea Captains but John Hood could have had his own wealth to pass down but not a trade in tanning.
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

The Bonds & Allegations for marriage between John Hood and Sarah Hammond show that they were to be married at St Giles in the Fields Church, Middlesex.  Sarah was living in the Parish of St Giles. 

Another "out of the box" thought, as Edward Parker was a witness to George's Will, I make a huge assumption this is Edward Parker, Solicitor of Parker March Solicitors of Selby.  May be worth getting in touch with the office and asking if they still hold, or know where, any archives relating to George Hood are?  The Solicitor firm has merged over the years and is now Elmhirst Parker (still in the original offices of Parker March) Just a thought
