Have you seen the entry for Jno Wood in 1790 ?

Tell me the occupants are not  'L M' and what looks like 'J h' 

[Jomot]

Looks like that to me, followed by (I think) '2 tennants' 

[..claire..]

Two Tenements

Well I wonder who J H is

Hi

Thank you all for this searching and these replies, also thanks for finding the images too.

I wonder if John Hood & Jane Poppleton got together? Is there a burial? Sorry not read all replies yet (if asked already).

1788 Selby Window Tax (to save time I only noted Selby names recognised, or anything that could be Hood)


Jane Poppleton Innkeeper) 9 Windows
Jno Wood          Miller       )

Whoever Jno Wood, Miller is, he seems to be in the Inn with Jane (sharing her 9 windows)!

The Directory of 1800 (In Mountain's book I think) does not list all Selby residents.

Gibson Richard, Cooper, Wren-Lane. Cook Samuel, Cordwainer, Gowthorp., are listed.

However, there is no Hood, Wood, or Poppleton listed in 1800, but it is just main residents, probably acquaintances of George Mountain.

Regards Mark

Hi All

Found the Late Mrs Hood twice, in the Selby Window Tax of 1760 and have the corresponding pages in 1773 (and also earlier 1756 pages downloaded).

Also found the surnames Pearson and Herbert in them (James Hood's son - Bernard Pearson Hood; also Mr Herbert - used in our family late 19th / early 20th Cent., as middle/ extra forenames).

What I notice in these Window tax records is that people got named even if the didn't pay tax, taking George Hood was 28 at marriage 1815 in Selby, he should have been appearing somewhere at the age of 21 in 1808/9. Thus was George Hood aged 21 in 1812 ? = born 1791 that would put him age 50 as stated on the 1841 census

[BushInn1746]

If George Hood was living in a undivided building with others, only one would be made responsible pay it.

If and how they divided it amongst themselves in the building, was up to the occupants.

That is why these Window Tax records are unreliable, when you can't find someone.

Like C/Tax Bill or C/Tax Rebate today, there could be 20 living in one undivided house/building, but the Bill only usually goes to one named party in the household (unless they are on separate benefits or divorcing, then it might be split onto separate C/Tax Bills).
