Thanks dobfarmI went off on a tangent there! The pubs on the link start 1842.Red Lion, in Redbourne, was the House of Widow Whitehead, in a Notice dated 25 July 1805. Possibly the same Whitehead in the Stamford Mercury, 17 October 1806 A few days ago died at Redbourn, near Spittal, in this county, after a short illness, Mrs. Whitehead, widow, aged 37.Stamford Mercury, 21st January 1814 North Kelsey Inclosure and Drainage. ... that we shall hold our next MEETING at the house of PETER HOOD, in REDBOURNE, in the said county of Lincoln, on MONDAY the Thirty-first day of January instant ...Looks like Peter Hood, I'll check full name.Thanks, this isn't a too away from the Cockins of Luddington, is it? Regards Mark
Hopefully the Will of Thomas Gouldsbrough may show a link to the Hood boys, however, I have been trying to see if I can find any other links that would tie-in Thomas's wife (widow Mary Russell) being Sarah's mother. Also thought might be useful to have a look at the "Burton family". I appreciate Mark this will not give you any direct info re George Hood but going "outwards" as well as "up and down" ancestral lines sometimes brings a snippet of unexpected info. Here's the Burton family (thank goodness for Dade records)Edward Burton wheelwright 1744 - 1809 son of Thomas Burton (Rope Maker) and JaneMarries Ann Blanshard 12 Sept 1769 (Ann dies April 1770) cannot see any childMarries Sarah Silverwood 9 Dec 1771 - buried 13 May 1776- child Mary Burton 1772 (marries William Russell - mother of Sarah Russell (m G Hood)Marries Mary Astley 3 Oct 1780- childrenThomas Burton born 1775 died 1789Sarah born 1781 died 1790William born 1784 married Martha Russell (dau of Benjamin Russell)Edward born 1786 died 1787Edward born 1789 died 1824 married Frances Nappy 1813Thomas born 1791 died 1792Christopher born 1793 joined Royal Navy as SAILMAKER in 1815 (1851 living in Devon)Thomas born 1795Sarah born 1800
