Richard Gibson married 1792 Selby- 1800 trade directory a Cooper Wren lane Selby

Incidently - there is another Hood family in Natal from Whittington Staffordshire. A George Henry Hood - his father was a George, and a brother Herbert  )

He travelled to Africa frequently, he was a prison warden.

Have traced this family's earlier generations to Leicestershire.

I keep coming back to George Hood & Eleanor Wetherstone 15 Oct 1756, All Saints, so I'm just going to throw this out there....

1756 George Hood m Eleanor Wetherstone
1759 Joshua s/o George Hood
1764 Joshua s/o George Hood
1766 Caleb s/o George Hood
1767 Elizabeth d/o George Hood
1769 James s/o George Hood, Cordwainer
1770 Trinity House offers reward to seamen joining the Navy (must they already to be seamen?)
1771 George Hood aboard HMS Orford & writes will
1774 George Hood's will proved in London.  Sole executor is his wife, Eleanor
1775 Eleanor Hood, Widow, marries John Scott, Waterman
1779 Marriage of John Hood & Elizabeth Gibson (daughter of Thomas Gibson, Newcastle, sister of Richard Gibson of Selby). Bondsman is John Scott, Waterman.

1792 Marriage in Hull of James Hood & Ann Phillips
Baptism Tynemouth:
1795 James s/o James & Ann Hood of North Shore, Mariner
1798 Mary Ann d/o James Hood of North Shore, Mariner, native of All Saints by his wife Ann Phillips native of Hull
1800 Eleanor d/o James Hood & Ann Phillips – not in BTs
1802 George 2nd s/o James Hood of North Shore, Mariner Native of All Saints parish by his wife Ann Philips native of Hull.

My feeling is that this James Hood is a brother to John Hood, father of George Hood of Selby.   George in Selby names one of his daughters Ellen (after his grandmother, Eleanor?) and another James (after his Uncle?).

Unfortunately I haven't traced the family with any certainty after the 1802 baptism, but this is a possibility:

1803 (25 Dec) Burial Hull, Eleanor Hood d/o Ann
1803 (26 Dec) Burial Hull, George Hood s/o Ann

Hi

Thank you Claire, never heard of a Prison Warden before.

According to the partial Hood burial search and the M.I.s at death, some of the above IN JOMOT's QUOTE have been buried in the dissenters cemetery.

The M.I.s also reveal at Newcastle, that there was also a "Postern Meeting".

Regards Mark

[..claire..]

Hi Mark

Postern Chapel: On the 1 January 1797 the most present Chapel was opened and was built on land given by the late Mr Robert Hood 

Interesting reading matter

Apologies if gone over before, it's new to me. These Hoods are interesting

When  Robert Hood married his first wife ( Mary Ryle)  in 1786 he was a Brewer and 28 yrs of age.

A look into Mary Ryle has her father as Jonathon Ryle.

A 25 year old Jonathon Ryle married in 1787 to an Ann GIBSON

Wonder if he's a brother to Mary Ryle ? Wonder who this Ann Gibson is ?

Hi

Thanks Claire for replies.

Claire, the two Army records make interesting reading, although the Army never always used full names.

 --------

1889: This James Hood claims to be born Selby and recorded as nearly 25 [born about 1864].

Possibly James A Hood, birth registered Sunderland, 1863.

 --------

1892: This James Hood was from Burton, Staffordshire, but joined at SUNDERLAND, aged 21 years.


Perhaps the Staffordshire Hoods we have been looking at, at Wyrley; Congreve near Penkridge and Clay Mills Stretton, at Burton on Trent, are linked up via Sunderland?

[..claire..]

There are quite a few army records for these Hoods in Burton upon Trent - just found a William H ( a cooper) born c1868

Convicted of breaking out of his barracks in 1892 

[BushInn1746]

Slightly away from the topic but knowing a Hood of yours was in South Africa at some point before WW1

Robert Hood (above) of Windmill Hills. His son was Peter H (surgeon in London) . Well Peter's grandson Claude Wharton Hood was in Johannesburg c1908 and died in Cape Town 1938.

Hi

Thanks Claire, but my Hoods were too well behaved (well on the surface) to get into any trouble, so no records there.

 --------

The Mr J Hood, sailing to South Africa, in one of the columns, it is headed, that his Permanent Residence was a "British Possessions" country and not a Permanent Resident of England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland, which are in separate columns.
