Jane Casson born 13 May 1817 ~ daughter of CURTIS CASSON and MARY PEACOCK (1788-1872)

Mary Peacock born 7 Jan 1788 ~ daughter of John PEACOCK of Wassand and Jane. This couple married in an Anglican Church at Scarborough 5 Dec. 1786.

" John Peacock aged 30 of Wassand in the parish of Sigglesthorne, Jane Pennock aged 23 of this Parish, by licence, Witnessed by John and Mary Pennock and John Huntriss."

Mary was the first child, then JANE b 1789, JOHN b1790, Elizabeth b1792 and JENNY b1794.

So this couple had what looks like one son JOHN PEACOCK 1790. ~ Uncle Peacock mentioned in Will perhaps ?

Jane PEACOCK of Wassand died 1794, John PEACOCK died 1812. Both Quaker burials. No further Quaker marriage.

Trying to find the son John

Thanks Claire and dobfarm

So the Uncle Peacock is definitely on the Casson side, that answers my question, I think.

Nothing helps with Ol'George Hood!


Interesting you found a William Son of William Hood and a late Maria Proctor Sp'r at Hedenham in 1800.

The Thorne Quaker wedding James Backhouse = Mary Dearman was in the Sixth Month of 1787 with the Relations listed.

The marriage or start of the relationship of your couple needs have occurred before that 1787 date.

Isn't there a Norfolk 'Hood' family that end up in Selby or in the area ?

You're welcome to try the Seal against the name of George Hood of Selby in his Will?

Looks like the letters say Coo[?] (Turn 90 degs).

I'll try and have a fiddle with it

Here's one I did earlier...

It does look like 'Cook' doesn't it, that's just looking at it with my head cocked to one side

Hi

Think I can see a pattern and smaller letters (looks like H.S.) above Coo.

All his property registrations describe the letters as "L.S." - "L.S. George Hood"

L.S. means locus sigilli (place of the Seal) and what looks like Coo has been placed adjacent, so the full "Coo" (COOK, whatever it is) was likely George Hood's official Seal in Contract Law.

Emailed Special Collections who hold the Will, regarding having a higher resolution photograph taken of the Seal.

One of his Grandchildren was Elizabeth Cook Hood.

He must have been frail looking at the change in his handwriting.
