Grubb

Notes: The Grubb linked to my Tree are a separate Grubb family, to the Grubb linked to Hood of Knottingley when traced backward and also to different places in Yorkshire.

My Grubb, are the Same Grubb Family That Married Into Maudland Turner's Family

Incidentally, the Grubb Family who married into a branch from my line, can also be traced back to the same Grubb couple of those who married into the family of Maudland Turner (nee Maudland Hood).

I have a theory based own my ancestry

To cut a long story short !
My paternal Gt granddad came from tiny village called Peakirk near Peterborough, born abt circa 1841,
before the 1871c he had moved to Knottingley as an innkeeper, he married a local girl- my Gt granny named Jackson with her local family history, covering Beal, Blane, Birkin, Kellington, Selby and Snaith area Parish. By the family moved to Huddersfield where Gt grandad was an Innkeeper in Huddersfield.

You'll need to sigh in

My theory

Did John Hood Innkeeper of the Ship Inn south shore Gateshead move south to a Pub or Inn around knottingley area post 1787 Gateshead trade directory

~~~~~~~

Those RC registers you mention could hold some Hood as there is no C of E parish Hood entries around Kellington/Knottingley area (unusual) on Familysearch except one John Hood baptism 1745 Snaith

Hello Dave & All

According to Baines 1822 Directory, no Hood, with an Inn, nor Publican, Victualler, etc.

Unquote

Above could be link to your Hood's _ this 1764 John Hood could be the right age for a son born 1786 ish.

------

Still thinking out of the box again.

Say for argument sake: your George was an illegitimate child baptised in his mothers surname ? who later married a man called Hood or again baptised in his mothers surname but later took his illegitimate father surname Hood. If so could the mothers surname be your George's children's links to their grandmother (George's unknown mothers surname) being one of your known linking surnames Grubb, Pearson, Todd, Cook, Cookin, Wilkinson etc.

Last Jane ? (Died 1803 Selby) X John Hood of Selby & Scarborough never married and George was baptised illegitimate in Jane's surname but took his  illegitimate dad's surname later, - Jane being a  Grubb, Pearson, Todd, Cook, Cookin Wilkinson( <- Could explain why George was there in Knottingley 1813 with George Wilkinson - his dad  )  etc. ?

Last: Have you a surname that keeps popping up downstream of 1812 that you can't link to anything

Thanks for the comments.

1) The year before a George Hood, was there at Knottingley, it was a John Cook in that Tenement. See the link and image snippets in p.1 of that thread.

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=758380.msg7599711#msg7599711

2) Part of the Knottingley Register on a few pages, are worn away and it looks like writing is missing.

Just had a larger wide screen, I will try and read the B.T. copies again, to check where Register pages are missing against the B.T. But I think I paid to have the original inspected.

3) 1813 February, Knottingley,
Robert, son of Hannah Hood, illegitimate, Knottingley, baptised. Snippet attached.

According to Robert Hood's marriage and the 1851 Census, John Hood, Waterman, was the Father.

1838, 20th August
Robert Hood, full age, Bachelor, Waterman, Knottingley, Father: John Hood, Waterman.
Ann Hirst, full age, spinster, Hillam, Joseph Hirst, Labourer.

1851 Pontefract
Rob't Hood, Head, Mar, 38, Mariner, born Knottingley, Yorks.
Ann Hood, Wife, Mar, 42, born Fryston, Yorkshire.

Hannah Hood, died, Single Woman aged 63 in 1842 and Sarah Wodsworth was the Informant. I seem to think a Wadsworth connection to this Hood of Knottingley family some time later (more recent).

 ---------------------

Looks to be the same informant as 26th December 1843, William Hood, 74yrs, Ferryman at Knottingley, mark of Sarah Woodsworth, present.

I mentioned before, that if George Hood paid the rent and tax for a year (but did not occupy himself) the baptism in February 1813 is perfectly timed to be paying the Tax in March 1813.

 -----------------------

I need to look through my folders to check if I have any unaccounted later Marriage witness.

Its strange the tenants change each year 1812-1813-1814 also a Cook and a Grubb were tenants.

[BushInn1746]

Its strange the tenants change each year 1812-1813-1814 also a Cook and a Grubb were tenants.

I agree Dave:-

And yes, George Hood, baptised with his Mother's surname? My late Grandmother said a 'woman in every port' I don't know why she said such a phrase, or whether it was just said as a suggestion for this or something else.

If you click on the following link, you will see where I have made a tentative or possible link from Fanny Crowder to James Beaumont in pencil on the attachment.

One of the possible suitors (out of several) for Elizabeth Crowder, baptised Knottingley 1781, was James Beaumont.

Before I have mentioned the Beaumont surname in relation to the vessel the 'Countess of Scarborough'.

 ---------------
Dean of Gainsborough

Joseph Dean, inherited from his Father (who died 1787), on the basis Joseph Dean was Heir at Law (No Will appeared to be listed).

By 1820 'Henry Mills & Son' and 'Dean & Beaumont' have a Sream Packet vessel called the Countess of Scarborough sailing York, Selby and Gainsborough.

Mr Beaumont died 5th November 1817, in the 58th year of his age and Notice confirms of the firm Dean and Beaumont.

1781 Banns, Scarborough

In the Scarbough Banns Book, there are Marriage Banns Published for:-
John Hood & Martha Dean
August the 5th ; 12th ; 19th 1781

But no Marriage at Scarborough and none of the Scarborough Banns say if any of the couples were marrying elsewhere?

 ---------------

But never able to tie any of the loose ends up, including who Jane Hood, Wife of John Hood of Selby, Mariner, 65 yrs, buried Selby, 15th August 1803, was.

I even ordered the 1803 Will of Jane Cook of Pontefract, in case Jane Hood wasn't really married.

Turner of South Kirkby
I have done a lot of research over several years into Frances and the Male children of Thomas Turner, Blacksmith of South Kirkby who were baptised from 1760 to 1783 (Frances Turner, 13th child, baptised 1783), also acquired 3 Wills of the descendant family and one Will of John Turner Baptised South Kirkby, Yorkshire, 1760, also marriages of the Turner identified born South Kirkby.

Charles Turner born South Kirkby [bapt 1770], married Maudland Hood at Selby in 1794 and lived long enough to be an inmate in Selby Workhouse in the 1851 Census.

Turner of South Kirkby, research included the various links to Yorkshire places, including Wakefield - researched in great detail.

 -------------------------------------------------------------

I have identified two baptisms at Darfield to a John & Charlotte Cook:

1816 Mary
1818 Betty

But here comes a problem with these two baptised 1816 & 1818 Darfield.

Darfield, Yorkshire, is only 7 miles from Clayton with Frickley, Yorkshire and a John Cook born Kirk Sandall, Yorkshire, married Charlotte Wood at Frickley and this John Cook and Charlotte appear in the 1851 Census.

 -------------------------------------------------------------

What Happened to John Cook of Knottingley, please?

Unfortunately, I have been unable to confirm John Cook, alias Cooch, alias John Cooke of Knottingley and family, after the 1810 Baptism at Knottingley (above)?

Mark

Added: Michael Turner is a new name to me too, but I will look into him later.

But any help with John & Charlotte Cook / Cooke of Knottingley, please?

[dobfarm]

Just to added to my last post,

You have already worked on the surnames that were used in your George Hood's grandchildren's names as middle names, or family marriage's connection spouse maiden names  thus ? if his grandkids  maiden middle names (surname's) mean so much - why not use George's illegitimate mothers (Granny) own name or the illegitimate father surname (if known unless called Hood) be one of these middle names.
 
Having said that! being 'born out of wedlock' was a taboo! them days so! hence George's past - if born illegitimate would be keep quiet him being a businessman as he was - his birth surname is never mentioned.

Therefore the mysterious Jane Hood 1803 Selby burial of wife of John Hood the mariner with their unknown marriage?  reason being they never married with Jane having a illegitimate child, that C o E church would not accept Jane to marry them and so they jump the brush instead which was accepted them days as married.

added

If Jane Hood buried aged 65 1803 Selby wife of John Hood mariner was your George's mother then she would have been 48 years old in 1786 George Hopod estimated year of birth and a little old though not impossible to have a child that age - but! I'm think your George was born a little earlier say from 1778 based on Lane Hood's age to 1784 (Average 1781 Jane being aged 43 when she had George )

Michael Turner -? Maudland (John Hood mariners daughter  ) Mrs Turner - Wonder if there a connection there.

----------------------

Working on the Wilkinson surname
possible

George Wilkinson (Hood ?)

Yorkshire, Bishop's Transcripts, 1547-1957
Baptism  27 November 1785
Broughton, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom
Birth  3 October 1785 
Parent Jenny

'Jenny is primarily a shortened form of the names Jennifer and Jane.'

Jane Hood burial 1803 Selby ?

Its the only George birth/baptism 1785 years single woman parent that come up in the list of middle surnames of George Hood of Selby grandchildren so far!

[BushInn1746]

Thank you Dave

Your Reply # 73 was a classic example, of George Pearson, illegitimate, mother Ann alias Hannah Pearson was moving between Parishes which may even have delayed the child's baptism.

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=731922.msg6543036#msg6543036

With Jno Ellerthorp, being linked to Rawcliff, John Hood, was not without a reason to be loitering about, or frequenting a pub in Rawcliff, Snaith, or Rawcliff Bridge (Whitley was only 11 miles from Rawcliffe Bridge)?

I wonder that too, if one of the spare middle names (a surname) might be George Hood's illegitimate baptism surname, or even the surname of mystery Jane Hood, buried Selby 1803?

Next, I am going to see what happened to her other child/ren and if any clues there.

 --------------------

Surname CLARK

1) I don't know if the purchase of 4/5th Shares of the late John CLARK's, Tannery at Selby, was a coincidence by George Hood, or not.

2) Research indicates the mother of John COOK of Knottingley (in 1812), looks to be surname CLARK.

3) The Wife of John Spencer, the Landlord of John Hood of Selby, Mariner, was also surname CLARK, too.

John Spencer, 'Grocer' at the time, purchased this house at Millgate, Selby, whilst John Hood was a 'sitting Tenant' (Land Tax & Deed Memorials) and John Hood remained a Tenant afterward for over a decade.
