An ESTILL link has been suggested before to PROCTER of Selby?
But this was the problem:-
1851 Census Cloughton, Yorkshire
John Estill, Head, Mar, 62, Ag Lab, Burniston, Yorkshire.
Ann Estill, 58, Wife, Mar, born Cloughton, Yorkshire.
Mary A. Duck, Grandau, 6, born Stanton Dale, Yorks.
When looking for a HORD or HOOD baptism, there is only an earlier Ann HIRD, baptism at Cloughton, Yorkshire.
1813 Scalby & Chapelry of Cloughton
Francis HORD (his mark) married Eliabeth Jackson (her mark)
Present as Wits: Henry Cockerill (mark) ; Stephenson Rawling (his mark) ; John Hovington.
1814, 22nd February
John Hovington marries Ellis Stonehouse (on same page as the 1813 Marriage above)
Present as wits: Ann T[?]rnson ; Elizabeth LEADLAY and Ambrose Stonehouse, are witnesses.
1797 Scalby
John LEADLAY married Elizabeth Stonehouse both of this Parish
wits: Elizabeth Harrison ; John Stonehouse (All signed)
1819, 3rd July at Scalby & Chapelry of Cloughton, by Licence
Stephenson Rawling married Ann Sedman
wits: Ambrose Stonehouse ; Martha Sedman ; Thomas Grundon
When looking for the Baptism of Ann HORD, I also noticed a Francis HIRD baptised.
Managed to find Ann HORD signature in 1811, to John Estill.
Present (wits): Eliz Smith ; John Langdale ; William Bean
Mark
Added:
That Northumberland 1840 Will has just come to mind that HOOD had previously married LEADLAY
Just remembered and found the M.I. records for Scalby I purchased.
There is a July 1833 Memorial of Mary Hood [nee Mary Leadlay], Cloughton.
Inserted by the transcribers is ... PR 1833 Jul 26 Mary Hood, Shields, 28.
I think the link to another George Hood was made when in ...
1829 at Scalby on 23rd June, by LicenceGeorge HOOD married Mary LEADLAY
Present as wits: William HOOD ; Thomas HARRISON
1759 at ScalbyThomas Craven married Sarah HOOD
Wits: Robart Langdale ; Henry Baines
1763Richard Jefferson married Esther Carr
Present as wits: John Hood ; E. Craven and John Jefferson are all present
It looks to be the signature of John Hood, Mariner of Selby
I shall have to research and draw up a Tree and check if there is an actual link from PROCTER and MASSEY of Selby by marriages to this George and John HOOD of Cloughton, Yorkshire.
Some of these Marriages have had Licences too and I don't have the Cloughton and Scalby ones photographed.
