Hi

Very crudely there are two types of Seal:-

1. A Seal that is associated with Arms and registered in the College of Arms, or equivalent outside England.

2. A Seal that is not linked to any Arms.

As far as we know, don't have any authority to display the 'Arms of Hood' or the Crest of Hood registered with the College of Arms. My Father previously told me, that Arms are quite often granted to the individual that made the act of Service in favour of the King or Queen, or related to Royal personage.

We have no knowledge of an Ancestor having 'Letters Patent' issued.


This Seal of George Hood is interesting.


Hood & Horde
Members of these families had NON Arms Seals listed and I shall arrange to see the two Seals when next in London.


Documents of Selby
Our next action is to rule in or out Richard Gibson of Selby / Newcastle, so we'll arrange to look at those Petre documents.

A cross in a lozenge shaped-panel surrounded by four semi-circular panels containing a rabbit, a human head and two darts.

Possible Exciting News

I've just received information confirming a "Coo" family Seal, Colour Red, Shape Round, Size 5/8? On a document dated 18 Hen. VIII.

Its been defaced, but I intend to see it asap!

Very interesting

Coo - derived from 'Ka' an early name for a Jackdaw - a member of the crow family.

Some Hood family crests bear a Cornish Chough - a member of the crow family

Me - just trying to figure out what happened to Thomas and Elizabeth - children of Richard Gibson

EDIT: THOMAS GIBSON buried aged 2 weeks on 27 Aug. 1793, Selby Abbey.

Thanks. A mention of an Anchor, so Coo seems to have a nautical theme.

The symbol, perhaps dividers, used in navigating.

Sorry, in my excitement, forgot to post images.

I find it remarkable that the 3rd Viscount of Bridport (Hood) bears a family crest that is so similar, plus a couple of others

EDIT: there is one entry for COO on the site too

Yes I can recall as a boy of about 5 or 6 my Grandma Hood debating whether a bird was a Crow or Jackdaw, the conversation then touched on the Fleur de Lis symbol.

She was discussing family, with my Grandfather Mum's side who was there.
