Hello All
... 20th January 1838 property Conveyance Mrs Bridget Nicholson and Others to Mr James Collinson ...
Another property Memorial from Wakefield mentions George Hood widower, ...
I feel we might be looking for another earlier George Hood (who owned a part share, or interest in the Selby properties, in Ousegate along with Nicholson; William Bowland; Abraham Hodgson; Edward Parker; Samuel Smith; George Smith; Wm Mitton and Hannah Carter Clark).
There is no reference to George Hood of Selby being Heir at Law to a George Hood in the 1838 Deed Memorial, ...
Kind regards, Mark
A newspaper search using the names and their locations, given in the 1838 property Deed registration copy
Nicholson and Others to James Collinson [full title
Mrs Bridget Nicholson and Others to Mr James Collinson]
Re Smiths in the 1838 Deed registration copy - Samuel Smith of Armin and George Smith of Goole Surgeon, the sons of George Smith of Armin Pastures, Farmer
The newspaper search "Smith of Armin" gives ...
London Evening Standard 6 May 1836
Apothecaries Hall.Court of Examiners granted Certificates to
"George Nicholson Smith of Armin Pastures"So when
"George Smith of Goole Surgeon" qualifies, his full name was
George Nicholson Smith, so the newspaper indicates the Smiths in the 1838 property deal were related to the Nicholsons, [possibly a marriage].
I'm thinking, if one of the "Others" the Smiths, conveying the property in 1838 with Mrs Bridget Nicholson of Rawcliffe, are now found to be linked to Nicholson, perhaps the others are related, including my George Hood.
"George Smith" and his brother are the third party, of nine parties ("George Hood" being the eight party) in the 1838 property Release. The Smiths were obviously related to Nicholson, as George Smith used the middle name Nicholson, when he qualified.
According to an old 19th Century book about Nancy Nicholson of Rawcliffe / Snaith, it mentions a Charity for educating children too, which I have only snippet read.
Samuel Nicholson, owned a vessel and was a Merchant, his son Samuel was an Innkeeper.
The copy Deeds at Wakefield are only summaries for registration of property. This research about one of the Smith brothers in the copy Deed and one Smith having the middle name Nicholson, are not mentioned in the copy Deed.
It seems Yorkshire families kept their property divided up into shares, or parts, amongst the family members.
I'm hoping the Nicholson Chancery case 1830, revived 1837, with the Bills and the three Answers, will shed more light on it and whether G.H. is related to one of the other parties.
Kind regards, Mark
