Claire you've been busy!
Thank you very much, finding a John Hood & Sarah Hood attending the 1783 Quaker Marriage of Abel Chapman of Whitby, Master Mariner, to Elizabeth Simpson, Daughter of Wakefield Simpson of Whitby, at the Meeting House in Stainton-dale.
Thanks dobfarm, I just feel with the "Not in Membership" burial in the Selby Quaker Burial Ground of George Hood of Selby and George Hood's Quaker contacts with Jonathan Hutchinson; William Procter and William Massey all of Selby, there must be some Quaker link somewhere.
Kind regards Mark
Hello All
This particular Abel Chapman (quote above) is in a Tree (I say this because there are several Abel in this very extensive Tree)!
On the far Left bottom row of first Tree extract attached and numbered 1. ...
In 1783 Abel Chapman of Stakesby Hall, Whitby, Yorkshire, married Elizabeth Daughter of Wakefield Simpson, Esq., and he was the Son of John Chapman of Whitby Esq., and Jane Mellar, Daughter of John Mellar, Esq., of Whitby.
In the second attachment the Brother of Abel Chapman, being Edward Chapman, Esq., Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant, in 1794 married Martha dau of Thomas Holt, Esq., of Whitby, following this line downward to 2. is John Mellar Chapman who in 1832 married Caroline Sarah Parker and according to this her Father was an old acquaintance of ours ...
Samuel Walker Parker of Scott's House, County Durham.
In 1829 John Lionel Hood of Newcastle upon Tyne married Mary Parker, another daughter of Samuel Walker Parker, at St Cuthbert's Scotland (Register not attached), see snippet.
So going back to the 1783 marriage in the quote, by 1832 these characters are all related by Marriage.
--------------------
George Hood of Selby enters into a property arrangement in 1836 with Lord Petre and has William Procter, William Massey and Jonathan Hutchinson it would seem as Trustees.
Been looking at the Will of William Procter of Selby, the part written in 1846 and Proved 1855 and Widow Hood [Sarah Hood] instead of living in a property owned by her late husband George Hood, Cooper, Tanner and Brewer, at Selby, Widow Hood is living in a house owned by William Procter and Wife Elizabeth.
So a few days ago, I thought I need to get to grips with the final few of those living on "Hood's Yard", Gowthorpe, Selby, and neighbors' that I had not looked at.
In 1832 Mrs Elizabeth Procter of Selby, becomes related to the family of John Lionel HOOD of Newcastle upon Tyne.
I will explain the remainder, hopefully tomorrow, as a 2nd part to this reply.
