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

[Goughy]

If the above Elizabeth Hood (nee Williford) was still alive, she could be one of witnesses at Wells Hood's 1821 Marriage, at Leeds St Peter.

Elizabeth Hood witness at Wells marriage could have been his sister who was  baptised April 1796 in Catton

Looks like Richard Hood married again in 1840, he certainly didn't waste much time

Richard Hood married 28 Dec 1840 at St Pancras London to Caroline Helen ABEL ( father John deceased)

His sister in law perhaps

Witnesses: Wm Elsworth and no idea of the second

George & Sarah Hood of Selby, had their last child Sarah Hood baptised in 1835 in Selby Abbey Church. Between 1835 and 1845 something has prompted George Hood to switch religion.

Regarding George Hood's Non-Quaker, Quaker Burial at Selby.

From the newspapers there looks to have been an increase in the Non-conformists at Selby.

John Robertson was leading the Independents at Selby, prior to 1839.

Independents; the Wesleyan Methodists; Quakers and the Incumbent, have formed a Selby Bible Society Branch in 1836.

Unfortunately, the information found, although local to Selby, is very general and does not mention George Hood's religion.


Joseph Richardson & Henry Wilkinson of Selby are mentioned in 1840, wonder if they are linked to my Hoods at Selby?

Wonder if the Joseph Richardson is this man buried in unconsecrated ground at Selby Cemetery.

Joseph Richardson a seed merchant, died at Brook Street buried 4 September 1866 aged 69, so looking at a birth c1797.

Buried by the Rev. John Hornby

Thanks Claire,

Every time I see TATE, I can't stop myself thinking of the TATE HOODs buried at Thorganby.

"Mary TATE HOOD wife of Thomas TATE HOOD Labourer buried at Thorganby, 21st May 1781.

Thomas TATE Shoemaker, died 27th December 1805 of natural decay. Abode Thorganby. Buried 27th December, 76 years.

If her husband was a TATE, then quite where the Hood in 'TATE HOOD' comes from, I don't know.

However, there is a SAMUEL HOOD Barbour and Surgeon from Selby buried at Thorganby, 1st July 1737."

Goughy kindly got me some photographs of John Hood's headstone, the Tanner, in Selby Cemetery and there is Wife Sarah Hood, Alice Annie (infant Daughter) and a Hannah Richardson buried with the Hoods.

Also a Hannah Richardson and Marshall Son in Law in the Sarah Hood (nee Richardson) household - later Selby Census.

Wonder where the Tate surname came into the Richardson born 1833 then, might have a look at it unless it's already been sorted.

Has the Robert Cook(e) in Selby been looked at ? Noted he had a daughter Elizabeth Cook born 1833 ~ same page baptism as the Richardson, wondered if there was any connection to the Elizabeth Cooke Hood scenario.
