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

[BushInn1746]

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.

Hello

Part 2

Elizabeth Slinger who married William Procter of Selby

Unfortunately I could only get a short Quaker Marriage Certificate online (which does not show relations), so had to resort to slightly devious means to get her relatives.

Marriage at the Assembly of Quakers at Stockton on Tees, 27th Day of the 6th Month 1825

William Procter of Selby in the County of York Merchant Son of Thomas Procter of the same place and Mary his Wife, and Elizabeth Slinger Daughter of Tempest Slinger of Dagenham in the County of Essex and Johannah his Wife.


1811 PCC Will of Tempest Slinger of Dagenham

Fortunately his Will was registered as a PCC Will and quickly obtainable.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D214305

The Will confirmed he was a church clerk, name of his Widow Johannah and two Daughters Mary and Elizabeth Slinger and a suggestion of a link to Stockton on Tees.

An interesting Affirmation was recorded and had been made by Henry Richardson of Stockton on Tees, County Durham, that I am a Dissenter from the Church of England commonly called a Quaker and that Henry Richardson was well acquainted with the Rev Tempest Slinger late of Dagenham Essex and well acquainted with his handwriting and believes it to be the proper handwriting of the last Will and Testament of Tempest Slinger.

Admon with the Will attached was Granted to Johannah Slinger the Widow the Relict and universal Legatee.

Although a handful of people are knocking about in England with the name of Tempest Slinger, I could now see Tempest Slinger was not a Quaker, but the family obviously had Quaker links.

1770 at Stockton Durham, 26th November, by Licence
Tempest Slinger of the Parish of Hinderwell, Bachelor, Clerk 32 and
Johannah Thornhill of the Parish of Stockton County of Durham Spinster 21
Present (wits) John Robinson, Hannah Wilson.

But no relations stated like in a Quaker Marriage!

Their ages on the Licence (from a transcription) give Johannah Thornhill a Birth year about 1749.


1749 Births, Guisborough Quaker Meeting
Johannah y: Daughter of Joseph & Mary Thornhill of Hinderwell


Then I thought, I wonder if she had a Brother or Sister who had a Quaker marriage and has an accessible Full Quaker marriage entry online, which give relations.


1739 Births, Guisborough Quaker Meeting
Richard of Son of Joseph & Mary Thornhill of Hinderwell


One of the subscription sites had not imaged the most important page of the Quaker Marriage, those present and their "Relations", so I tried the other site.


1762 Richard Thornhill of Whitby, Mercer and Draper and Jane Scarth
Richard Thornhill of Whitby married and the certificate confirmed he was the Son of Joseph Thornhill of Hinderwell and his Wife Mary, And
Jane Scarth daughter of Isaac Scarth late of Whitby aforesaid Merchant & Eleanor his Wife both deceased.

Geo: Jackson, Jun'r

Abel Chapman


A book about the Rolfe Family Volume II, by R. T. & A. Gunther of Heacham, Norfolk, published 1914 Aylesbury and London

Also confirms Scarth, Gaskin and Abel Chapman of Whitby, also Mellar and Gaskin, are related by marriages.


Elizabeth Procter of Selby (Nee Slinger)
Elizabeth Procter (Nee Slinger) who married William Procter of Selby in 1825 has an extensive family and was related to Abel Chapman of Whitby and therefore once the Chapman Family of Whitby link was made to Samuel Walker Parker of Scott's House in 1832, that means they were related to John Lionel Hood of Newcastle upon Tyne, by Marriages.


Unfortunately, it does nothing to give any more background proof of George Hood of Selby!


But as Widow Hood was living in one of William Procter's houses at Selby in 1846 and William had been involved in the purchase by George Hood in 1836 (because Hood needed Trustees it seems), probably because it was former Manor property, I just had to see who Elizabeth Procter (nee Slinger) was related too.


What is interesting, is the identity of John Hood and Sarah Hood, present at the 1783 marriage of Abel Chapman of Whitby and a few suggestions in the past, have been made.


Added:
I suspect several Esthill are there in the 1762 audience because the INGRAM surname features in the Chapman of Whitby Strand Tree. One of the Esthill was called Ingram Esthill and was at the 1762 Marriage.


One suggestion was John Hood of Scarborough and Sarah Hammond who married in 1778, at St Giles in the Fields, Middlesex, England.


Another interesting note was the Outhet surname in the attachment, I have the surname Outhart in the 1826 Marriage when William Hood [born Lutton] married Jane Outhart, but it easy to make coincidences when so much stuff has been kept for over 30 plus years.


Also in a Scarborough Will of Ann Spruce, Proved 1797 a Jane Outhart is mentioned, Wife of Francis Outhart of Scalby, Farmer, who was added on to the Will to be left a Clock.

Ann Spruce was mentioned in a Spencer of Scarborough, Will, a Spencer who could possibly be Maudland Hood's relative.

Marriage

Charles Hood of Hunmanby married Ruth Pearson after Banns 29 Nov. 1831

Both left their mark
Witnesses : Hannah Blinking * (looks like)
James ? ?

* Blenkin was the maiden surname of Sarah Richardsons mother was it not ?

Hello All

The witnesses at the Charles Hood & Ruth Pearson, at Skipsea [near Skipsea] Brough, Yorkshire, marriage were:-

Hannah BLENKING
James STORK

1837
On the 21st December 1837 at Sigglesthorne by Licence
James STORK, Bachelor, Farmer, Brough on ? Skerne? Father John STORK, Farmer, married
Mary HORNBY, Spinster, Farmer's Daughter, of Seaton [near Wassand and Sigglesthorne], Father Will HORNBY, Father.
Wits William Foster, Elizabeth Hornby.


The couple were both 27 years of age (Licence Index transcription only), giving a Birth c.1810.


The STORK farm was at Low Bonwick (South of Skipsea Brough, near Skipsea).


1841 Census, Skipsea
Wray Stork, 45, Ind. Y.
Ann Stork, 70, Ind. Y.
Ann Baker, 30, F.S. Y.

1810 Skipsea, Baptisms, 11th February
James, Son of John & Ann Stork/Farm'r/Bonwick/Skipsea, born 10th.


James Stork is at the Charles HOOD marriage because of his Mother's REAY alias WRAY connection.


1783 Copy of the Marriage Registers of Skipsea B.T. Seen
July 21st John Stork & Ann Reay of this Parish by Banns.
[Witnesses omitted in B.T.]


I have seen at Scarborough Reay used for Wray


1786 Scarborough 8th January, by Banns, possible link
John WRAY 21 & Elizabeth HOOD 22, both of Scarborough, Mariner.
Witnesses: Ann Cockrill ; William Hood


James Hood of Selby
So Ruth Pearson to James HOOD of Selby, may possibly be his Great Aunt or Kin?


We have linked in my wider lateral Tree in 1822 (1st Marriage of Robert) Elizabeth TWIDDLE / TWIDLE = Robert GRUBB, bapt Lockington, Father Thomas GRUB of Lockington / Etton, Shoemaker & Cordwainer via Son Robert to Mary GRUBB (Daur of Robert) who married John Hood TURNER, born Selby, 1825.

A line from John HOOD of Selby, Tanner, (d. 1860) has also married with a GRUBB descendant, ancestor Thomas GRUB born Lockington / Etton.


In the drwg posted below it shows our links by marriage, but no baptism has ever been found for my ancestor George Hood of Selby who married Sarah Russell in 1815.
(Note 2 cut off, because Note 2 referred to the wrong Mary Ann Stephenson). But we are still related to Maudland Hood by Marriages as given.


If the James STORK link via his Mother (Ann Reay) could be made to John Wray of Scarborough there is possibly some HOOD of Scarborough link to Walkington, near Beverley as well?


ADDED:
Ann Reay was baptised at Skipsea which matches with her age of 83 yrs in 1850 and it looks like her parents married at Skipsea too.

Baptized in 1767 Skipsea
July 1st, Ann Daughter of Rob't Reay & Elizabeth his Wife.

1762 Skipsea Marriages
Sep't 25th Robert Reay & Elizabeth Collinson by Licence.

Licence Index says both were 21 years old and from Skipsea.

According to a 1763 Baptism of Robert their Son they lived at Bonwick


Walkington, near Beverley
Somebody on Ancestry has letters handwritten by her family in the 20th Century mentioning Charles HOOD and Ruth PEARSON and Walkington.

 ---------------

There is also a book or reference I found to a community at or near the Rowley Gates.

Despite the earlier Act of Religious Toleration, nonconformists couldn't hold public office and were still shunned for offers of employment, etc., during the 18th Century.

There is another Tree which seemed a bit odd, but he had an 1856 Parish Marriage at Rowley and Elizabeth Hood has given her address as Little Weeton, Father Samuel Hood, Labourer, but a nicely formed Samuel Hood witness signature.

I think she means Little Weighton between Walkington and Rowley Manor.

The Tree has gone off down to London looking for Samuel Hood, but he wouldn't be aware of this book and a community settled near the Rowley Gate.

Mark


Thank you Molly

Yes, The Rowley marriage giving Residence at the time of the Marriage Little Weeton meaning Little Weighton.

I am not saying that Elizabeth Hood marrying at Rowley was related, but had read about a community living near Rowley gate.

Hopefully, the map snippet will add okay.

Market Weighton is pronounced Weeton, so Little Weighton is probably similar.

Walkington also known as the Howden Fee was part of the Manor of Howden, according to the East Riding Archives catalogue.

In 1751 Emanuel Jefferson lived in the Manor House at Howden called Bp's House or Hall Garth.
CCB V/3/1/1 Durham Bishopric Estates Notitia Book page 613


Mr Ja's Dickinson of Beverley Parks, near Beverley, was involved with the Estate too by the looks of the 2nd attachment dated 1795.

Probably the same Quaker family, to Joseph Dickinson who married Dorothy.
