Thanks dobfarm Still trying to work out what you're saying in your post (199).A Siobhán Ryle has in her interests, Ryle, Hood and Spencer. So left a message on her thread at ... http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=195976.msg6055402#msg6055402 There was a Newcastle Agents business called Hood & Ryle of Newcastle in 1811, associated with shipping goods between Hull and Newcastle, but last evening found the Will of ... Robert Hood of Gateshead (mentioning Ryle) "Robert HOOD, gentleman, of Windmill hills in the parish of Gateshead in the county of Durham [Gateshead, County Durham]" Date of probate: 1 October 1812 "Will and codicil used in the court case on 20 May 1816: Jane Stodhart (wife of the Reverend Robert Stodhart), Samuel Hood, Peter Hood and Benjamin Hood v John Ryle, John Linsay Angus and Jabez Hood"Three images here, but no George or John Hood mentioned https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11848-147714-50From "Hood" surname search here ... http://familyrecords.dur.ac.uk/nei/data/simple.phpThought it might be worth mentioning the Hood - Gateshead connection, although we are looking for George and John Hood a Mariner of Gateshead / Newcastle. But my George Hood had got a busisess acumen from somewhere. Regards Mark
