Hello All
I've tried two Yorkshire Unitarian Chapels where burials were conducted in 1845. Seems neither have any Hood burials.
However, one reply:-
... could not find any burials registered to a Hood, of any forename. You will know about the Mormons family history site- they give his birthdate as 1787, and state that some information about him comes from the list of Chelsea Pensioners. In those days, a Chelsea Pensioner was not necessarily an inmate of the Chelsea Hospital, but any ex soldier in receipt of a certain pension.
Seems there are several WO Series, depending on status, type of Soldier or Army Unit.
So I have emailed him back, as I can't find this on 'Family Search', but if anyone can provide the FS link / details, or WO Catalogue Series / record type or record name mentioned on Family Search, please, I can take it from there?
The TNA website says regarding the Pension records that the 'Friends of The National Archives' have been preparing Data Sheets in respect of these records. I have heard about the Friends work before, cataloguing other types of records.
Thank you, kind regards, Mark
