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

[BushInn1746]

That is good news regarding the burials - well done.
I don't think it will be long before the unaccounted family members will be found.

This is interesting stuff regarding the Gibsons. I seem to think we touched upon an early Gibson family before - or a wealthy family of Gibsons in Newcastle around this timeframe - possibly related ?

One of the images changed to correspond to the Arms of Gibson, in the book.

Hopefully, when the new image arrives, we can read the Border / Bordure lettering?

Thanks Claire

Used that Medieval Genealogy site before, lots of good links.

Looking at the red seal border (top), tilting my laptop screen back and forth, I can see 1801 followed by unrecognised characters, (although the first number 1 could be a crack, or a crack running through 1).

Started trying various 1801 searches in London Gazette, nothing yet.

Ordered photo end of Feb., seems their equipment is specially set-up for a job and once complete, they'll do mine.

Hi

Seals can also be linked to Universities, Colleges, Public Schools and other Institutions as follows:-

Ecclesiastical Heraldry,
Universities and Colleges,
Public Schools,
the College of Arms and Lyon Office,
Public Institutions,
Civic Heraldry;
Merchant Companies;
Guilds.


Looking at dobfarm's (I think) colour altered Seal.

Fairly sure I can see 1801KIN[?] (top).

George Hood would be about 16 years of age, in 1801.

Despite Coo being on the Seal, I have enquired with the very old:-

a) King's School, of Pontefract, now given as Wakefield and
b) King's Hall, Cambridge, where John Coo was appointed Fellow in 1432,

if it might be their Seals and if George Hood was a student?

For all we know, Coo could also have gifted money to an Educational Institution.

When I first saw it my immediate thought was it looked like 'Cockin'

Just for a bit of 'playing about' with image programs but only that.

Hood could be there

Hi

Oh yes brilliant, I do see HOOD now, thank you.

With the likelihood of slight damage that has occurred since it was written and the seal not being much larger than the signature height, it is likely Hood (small extract in your first image dobfarm).


Persecution of Quakers & Others, Over 1400 in English Prisons

Their lands had been seized but not reconveyed, was mentioned.

According to a book published later in 1725, a Richard Coe a prisoner in the Gaol in Northamptonshire, is amongst a list of names being granted a Pardon.

A Pardon, or Patent was issued by the King, granting the Pardon (Royal Warrant).

Court at Whitehall 13th September 1672.

Thank you Google Books.

Hi

Seems a Mary Hood burial matching the exact death date of Sarah Hood (1879) has been found.

I'll know more when the images arrive!
