George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage - James Cookin / James Cook in W

[BushInn1746]

Hello

George Hood of Selby was a "Retail Brewer" (1826 Baptism of Richard Hood at Selby, Yorkshire).

The Conveyance of 15th October 1829 Robert Raby of Barnsley Innkeeper to John Clarkson of New Port in the Parish of Eastrington Yorkshire, Farmer, for a property at Wren Lane, Selby, Yorkshire, says "George Hood brewer of Tom and Jerry Ale" was in adjacent premises.

Hood's modest wealth might be attributed to the fact that a Private Brewer and those under the 1830 Beerhouse Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerhouse_Act_1830 also known as the 'Tom and Jerry Act ' could escape some of the Duty / Tax levied on alcohol sales at the Public House or Inn.

It would appear George Hood payed duty on the Malt but no Duty on the sale.

One point is that George Hood, Brewer is already brewing in 1829 "Tom and Jerry Ale", so although he was previously a "Retail Brewer" and "Brewer" he is onto this, right at the very start of the new 1830 Act.

Hello

With the help of a very recently purchased 1825 Conveyance (one party being Edward Parker of Selby, Gentleman and the same Solicitor signing my George Hood's 1845 Will) and also the two other Deeds recently seen involving my George Hood of Selby signatures, then it is clear my George Hood was using a Seal of one of the other parties present on those two occasions and also likely in his Will too (where a partial seal is visible on the Will string and that half matches Edward Parker's, the seal against George Hood's Will signature also has the short stub of a tail).

Suggesting my George Hood of Selby did not have his own personal Seal.

Seems Hood's success may have been, being able to brew Tom and Jerry Ale and as a "Private Brewer" without some of the Taxation / Duty costs imposed on the Common Brewer / other Brewers.

George Hood could apparently set up his first Brewery / Malt Kiln, with about £3 to £4 and might have picked it up from Benjamin Russell.

Charles Turner (Maudland Hood's Husband), Selby, Yorkshire
I've been looking at the William Walker (23) = Sarah Sefton (19), 25th November 1815 Marriage at Selby, where Charles Turner was one of the witnesses (shortly after the George Hood & Sarah Russell July 1815 Selby Marriage).

If Charles Turner was related to my Hoods (e.g. if Maudland Turner nee Hood was George Hood's Half Sister) then Charles Turner may be signing as a relative, because if the preceding is correct, then Chas Turner might now be related to the Seftons due to Sarah Sefton having Burton ancestry, if those Sefton Burtons are the same Burton family linked to my Sarah Russell (who married George Hood, July 1815).

Sarah Sefton, 1797 Baptism, (Dades Selby Register), it tells the reader to look at p.19 for the Pedigree, this being the 1793 baptism of Alice Sefton at Selby (note in front of me, is Edward Sefton 1779), which all say the Father, Edward Sefton, Watchmaker, married Ann BURTON, Daur of Thos Burton of Selby Joiner by Elizabeth his Wife.

Providing Sarah Russell (George Hood's Wife) is linked to the same BURTONs as the SEFTONs are, then Charles Turner (wife was nee Maudland Hood) is probably / likely signing 25th November 1815 as a relative to George Hood and wife Sarah Hood nee Russell (who married a few months earlier at Selby).

In 1804, a Thomas Burton of Selby, Joiner, died of Decay of Nature, aged 72 and buried in the Church Yard at Selby, Yorkshire.

Walker - Chester, Link
On the Wm Walker, side of the above November 1815 Marriage, it seems there is a CHESTER link (see Wm Chester, 1800, Selby.

I'm wondering now, if any link to Chester Newby as well (George Hood's 1815 Marriage Bondsman).

William Moxon, 1802 Will
Wm Moxon's 1802 Will says William Moxon's sister was Alice MOXON who had married George BURTON Joiner late of Selby (dec'd) and the Will, mentions Thos Burton of Selby, Joiner, dec'd and a William Sefton, Son of Edward Sefton of Selby, Watchmaker, so the Will also ties up with the Sefton baptims.

Incidentally, a neighbouring property in Micklegate, Selby, Yorkshire, (previous to George Hood, being in Wren Lane, but with his Deeds), was owned by George Burton (Joiner) and wife Alice Burton and they agreed to sell in 1783 to William Gaile of Methley, Yeoman.

Nicholson
It may also explain why my George Hood was helping the Nicholson family in 1838, by buying up most of the the Nicholson property at Selby, some in Trust for James Collinson, that the Nicholson's were forced to sell by the Chancery Court 1830 to 1838.

Samuel Nicholson married Elizabeth Turner at Selby in 1832 by Licence and had a child Sarah Maudland Nicholson. I have sent for the Bond & Allegation.

1834 Selby, Sarah Collinson & Joshua Butterworth were witnesses at Samuel Nicholson of Leeds and Martha Welburn, Selby marriage.

I wonder if the Collinsons that my George Hood and later his son Wm Hood were linked to, married into the Nicholson family already? It would explain our involvement (but no direct marriage or family link) with Collinson.

Thank you Claire and Rootschatters for working out much of these bits in past posts.

Hello

Further to the above mentioned:- George Burton of Micklegate Selby in the County of York Joiner, his Will was made/written 5th August 1783. He leaves his tools and implements belonging to his Trade to his two Sons Thomas Burton and John Burton. George Burton's Wife was Alice Burton. His premises were occupied by himself and John Gale.

1798 11th November - The Selby Register has an Alice Burton, Widow, aged 98 buried in Selby Church Yard.

1730 George Burton has probably been at Micklegate, Selby, some considerable time it seems (per Wakefield, Yorkshire, England, Reg'n 1730 - Book CC page 395, No 523).

1809 29th September - Edward Burton, Wood Dealer, aged 65, buried Selby Church Yard, I shall have to see who he is.

I am going to see if I can link my Sarah Russell's, Burtons to the Sefton, Burtons.

If the Burtons do link up? Then Charles Turner, witness at the November 1815 Selby marriage is possibly there because he is related to the Burtons & Sefton now by marriage? Since the earlier July 1815 marriage of Sarah Russell (Mother Mary Burton) to George Hood.

Added: (information from Edward Burton & Mary Astley, son's 1786 Selby baptism) Edward Burton of Selby Carpenter so right trade, but Thomas Burton (married to Jane) described as a Roper at that point in 1786, so not quite there yet? Looks promising having a Thomas Burton though?

Hello

Stears
Looking at the 1780 Marriage of Edward Burton, Carpenter & Widower to Mary Astley, at Selby.
Those present are Jane STEARS; Eleanor Astley & Matthew Arundel (Matthew Arundel also at Edward Burton, Widower, previous marriage to Sarah Silverwood in 1771).

Possibly interesting because a Frances STEARS a Quaker (with John Rodger & Mary Ann Prince) are present when Charles Turner married Maudland Hood in 1794 at Selby (The two 1815 Marriages previously mentioned have obviously not taken place yet).

Added:
1769 Edward Burton married Ann Blanshard, Selby, those present were Thos Fawthrop & John Weldrick.

Thomas Fawthrop of Selby alias Thomas Fawthorpe is known to me, he was a Cooper by trade and burnt in an accident at Selby and died late 18th Century.

Thomas Fawthorpe of Selby, Cooper, also trained in 1770 John Spencer, believed to be John Hood's Landlord John Spencer, Grocer, 1790 to circa 1802.

Grocers used and sold, storage tubs, wash tubs and buckets made from wood by a Cooper, known as a White Cooper.

Looks like John Hood, Mariner and Daughter Maudland Hood, born Scarborough (and likely my George Hood) knew the Burtons already quite well and my George Hood may have learnt his trade from his Dad's Landlord 1790 to 1802, John Spencer, a Grocer, who died a 'Gentleman' at Selby in 1809.

Hello

I feel I have cracked my no circa 1786 Yorkshire baptism ancestor      George Hood.

The lines have been traced backward into the 18th century from the 1891 Census 'Visitor' in the household of Charles Hood born Selby, especially those of her husband Joseph Goulton Hirst and backward from the wives of his Father, Oliver Hirst.

His Father Oliver Hirst, Card Maker of Blakelaw (Father, John Hirst, Card Maker) married twice, firstly in 1855 to Grace Sarah Goulton at Selby (Father, William Goulton, Farmer) and secondly at Howden in 1866 as a Widower to Elizabeth Banks, Spinster, from Howden (Father, Edward Banks, Grocer), wits Edw Banks, Sarah Banks & Charles Bowman*
[Yorks Herald, 1 March 1862 confirms Chas Bowman of the Commercial Hotel had previously married another Daughter of Edward Banks, Market Place, Howden]

Two Banks also appear in the 18th Century Wells of Kilpin, Howden, Will, where Wells bequeaths and the Wills give Wells relationship to Hood, Drew, Banks; George Banks and other couples

Richard Hood married Susanna Drew in 1759 and one Drew was linked with Beverley according to one of the Wells Wills.

The evidence points to Richard Hood of Leven and Susannah Drew of Catwick being in my ancestry.

I really hope you have cracked this.

Can you find any children to Richard Hood and Suzannah Drew? That could clinch it.

Please keep us informed.

Sorry, I meant to have written Robert Banks recorded in the Will (not George).

Robert Banks [Senior of Kingston upon Hull in Bartholomew Wells, Will] married Ann Tongue 24th November 1750 at Hull.

This looks to be the Wells of Leven / Catwick and Tong link (later Wells of Kilpin, Howden)
28th March 1725 Thomas Wells of St Crux = Elizabeth Tong (at Hull)
2nd November 1726 Elizabeth Daughter of Thomas Wells of Leven, Yeom and Elizabeth his Wife was baptised at Leven.

I really hope you have cracked this.

Can you find any children to Richard Hood and Suzannah Drew? That could clinch it.

Hello Ben and All

One child of Richard Hood & Susanna Drew marriage (married 1759) was William Hood (bapt. 1769 Leven, Yorkshire, England).

Added
Catwick Baptisms
1796 William Hood the illegitimate Son of Marcy Hepton.
1797 Susannah Hood illegitimate Dau'r of Mace Hepton.
1798 George Son of Mary Robinson base born.
1800 Elizabeth illeg'e Daughter of Mercey Hepton.

Other illegitimate children at Catwick, too.

Wondering if William Hood (baptised Leven 1769) Fathered other children, besides those baptised Catwick 1796 & 1797.

In the Catwick B.T. of 1793 /94 Wm Hood signed as Church warden.

The other Son of Richard Hood & Susanna was Richard baptised 1771 Leven. Richard & Susanna Hood's other children were Daughters baptised Leven.

When Robert Banks of Howden married Elizabeth Haigh at Batley in 1786, three Turtons were present witnessing the 1786 marriage and Anne Turton was previously Anne COCKIN.

In 1778 at Amondbury, Old Hallows, William Turton married Anne Cockin.

So a definite COCKIN link on the Orange line below.

There was a James Cockin present at the marriage of my ancestor George Hood to Sarah Russell at Selby in 1815.

But a definite link to Sugar regarding William Wells Plaxton (alias Plaister) in partnership with George Dames at London (see theft case 1820s).

My late Grandmother (Hood side) spoke about Sugar and my late Grandfather (Mum's side) got a Jamaican Nurse (family friend) to bring some cylindrical sticks of sugar back, to show me what it looked like.

There is also a Grace Hood baptised Leven 1762 and one in my 19th Century line has a Daughter named Grace (with middle name Cecilia after her mother). Two of us also carry Richard in our names and my late Grandmother said forenames were taken from my past HOOD generations.

So Richard Hood and Susannah Drew of Leven / Catwick look to be in my ancestry somewhere.

Update: Very initial early research seems to suggest that the BANKS on the left side of my diagram are linked to Wressle Castle, once occupied or owned by a Plaxton (17th Century).

If a family link (and not just a coincidental purchase or Let) at Wressle can be proved from Plaxton to Banks then the BANKS on the left look to be linked (in the past somewhere) to the BANKS on the right of my diagram.
