George Hood a Copper (With Business knowledge and with a small wealth in his own right ??)
Hello All
Already searched newspapers (although some OCR scanning is not good) for Gibson; Cooper and Selby, but no advert for the Cooper business, circa 1807 to 1812, only Gibsons Bankruptcy L.G. entries as previously discussed.
The Wren Lane premises were rented by George Hood to begin (1812 per Land Tax) and one of George Hood's later aquisitions at Auction in 1835.
Reg'd in 1836, those involved in the Sale of the Wren Lane premises were:-
the Lease made or expressed to be made
Between 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 at Brussels of the one part and George Hood of Selby in the County of York Brewer of the other part
and the Release made or expressed to be made
Between the said
William Henry Francis Lord Petre and Henry Charles Earl of Surrey of the first part
the said Edward Robert Petre of the second part and
Charles Henry Pigot of Great Marlborough Street in the County of Middlesex Gentleman of the third part
the said George Hood of the fourth part
William Mafrey of Selby aforesaid Merchant of the fifth part
Edward White of Great Marlborough Street aforesaid Gentleman of the sixth part and
Jonathan Hutchinson of Selby aforesaid Merchant of the seventh part
of and concerning all those two Dwellinghouses or tenements situate in
Selby aforesaid in certain streets called Wren Lane and Micklegate ... .
[Property then described] ... adjoining thereto containing by recent survey ... heretofore in the occupation of Richard Gibson and Thomas Holliday but now of George Hood and his Undertenants and of John Green having premises of William Hood on or towards the southeast the said street called Micklegate ... [adjacent premises and people named]
It seems, that when purchasing a property back then, by a 'Lease and Release' type of property transfer (rather than a Sale by 'Conveyance'), the purchaser (in this case George Hood) appears in both the Release and the Lease documents? The margin description is
Petre and Others to HoodI would much prefer to be reading a Sale by Conveyance, than a Lease and Release sale document, but George Hood of Selby Brewer was the purchaser.
I am aware there are some Lord Petre Manor of Selby records at Hull and Essex. Someone has mentioned, one Petre was from Bradford.
