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

[dobfarm]

Ships 'Industry' and 'Leeds Packet' (Packett) 1785 to 1787

Did either ship dock in Newcastle/Gateshead Sept 1786 en-route to another port

( Its difficult to believe an east coast ship only visited Hull to London and not visit Newcastle or east Scotland ports)

George Hood son of John Hood baptism 1786 Gateshead was an only child baptism by a John Hood +/- 10 years ( could be an indicator George was a son of a visiting John Hood [mariner ?] to the area--Clue ?))

Marriages

John Hood widower of Scarborough  to Sarah Hammond widow  1778 (London) (Sarah could have died 1778 to 1781)
or
John HOOD (widower ??) & Martha DEAN, Banns, Scarborough - 1781.

(Dean surname as Ships  'Industry' and 'Leeds Packett' owner sounds a clue)

 Mark,

Was the first encounter of John Hood (J Hood on landtax)in Selby 1781
Re: Martha Dean marriage banns Scarborough 1781
-------

Did you ever find a burial for Elizabeth Hood pre 1778 (Sarah Hammond marriage 1778) wife of the other John Hood mariner born 1722 Scarborough.

Extract snippet from the 1778 Hammond marriage bond allegation ' John Hood mariner widower of Scarborough '

Signatures of John Hood could alter over the years as there are slight similarities in the signatures in the John Hood Leppington 1763 and Hammond marriages or bonds allegations

Hello Dave and All

I managed to get a copy of a letter written on 23rd July 1945 by a J. W. Chapman of 34 Calder Road, Blackpool, N.S. to Altus Hayes, a US relative, via Richard P Taylor.

It seems Altus Hayes managed to speak with Miss Mabel North of 4 Hampton Road, Doncaster, England, before she died in 1956 and scribbled some notes on the letter, that the "Hoods of Selby England - Shipbuilders" ...

Miss Mabel Lydia North, of that address was the Daughter of John Cooper North.

Mary Ellen Hood was the Daughter of James Hood and Sarah Arundel of Selby.

14th April 1873 at Selby
Mary Ellen Hood, 20, Spinster, of Ousegate Selby, Daughter of James Hood, Tallow Chandler, married 
Arthur Chapman, 22, Printer, of Balsall Heath, Son of William Martin Chapman, Retired Tradesman,
at the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, at Selby, by Licence.
Present as witnesses:- Elizabeth Cook Hood ; George Chapman.

Mary Ellen Hood might be the Mary Ellen Chapman (witness) with John Cooper North, on the 1901 William Martin Chapman (Father: Arthur Chapman, dec'd), to Charlotte Wilson North, Marriage Certificate (but I have not checked when Mary Ellen died).

Not Foster's Yard at Selby
Samuel Gutteridge of Selby married Mary Foster, despite a search we could find no Hood linked to Foster.

Shepherd's Ship Yard at Selby
Alexander Shepherd, Shipwright, of Selby, who was Bankrupted (notice in the London Gazette 1805) but didn't marry a Hood.

Then this 1791 map appeared at Northallerton Record Office which shows Fosters Raff Yard (a Timber Yard) and also Shepherd's Yard on the Banks of the Ouse at Selby.

I managed to find a newspaper Sale Notice dated 1800 which links Alexander Shepherd's Ship Yard at Selby to James Shepherd, Ship Builder of Hull.

1781 at Fishlake by Licence
James Shepherd married Ann Steemson, and into another Ship Building family of Fishlake.

1786 Birth of Elizabeth Shepherd at Selby
James and Ann Shepherd, Shipcarpenter, first children were recorded in the Selby Dades Register, which stated he was the Son of Alexander Shepherd of Whitby, Shipcarpenter and Elizabeth his Wife.

On 25th November 1735 at Whitby, Yorkshire ...
Alexander SHEPHERD married Elizabeth HORD.

 --------------------

My late Grandmother made reference to the pronunciation 55 years ago and made it sound like Hoard.

Also a William Hord witnessing a marriage of Robert Harper & Frances Marsh in 1797 at Selby, previously mentioned.

 ---------------

On 12th September 1717 at Scarborough on the same day (probably a double wedding) ...

Jno SPENCER married Mary BARTON.
Tho: SHEPHERD married Fortune SPENCER.

Fortune Shepherd died and was buried at Scarborough.

I managed to get a scan of a Shepherd of Scarborough Will and his Sons lived at Whitby
