Hello All
Thank you very much Claire for all this information about Pearson!
One day I am sure that something (or more than thing) written on all these threads is suddenly going to fit together, or help someone else at least.
Like a jigsaw where I just need to find and fit one, or two pieces and suddenly all those small assembled pieces to the side, suddenly fit in!
Quaker Archive, London
I have gone back to them with a scan of George Hood's burial note, with a few specific questions regarding other records created at the time and any formal procedure for the authorising of a burial in their Quaker Burial Ground of my "Not in Membership" George, who died of Heart Disease.
WYAS Catalogue Unavailable?
Seems to be unavailable each time I've tried since the Wakefield move.
Just say for instance that near the end of his life, George was, or was attending Wesleyan; Independent; Methodist; or Presbyterian, at Selby.
I seem to think they had some Selby Registers for these NC faiths at Yorkshire Archives (WYAS I think) and I wondered if there might be a reference to George Hood's September 1845 death in one of them?
Because the Non-Conf., RG Series Registers held by TNA (ex Public Record Office), Kew, had to be deposited with the Registrar General (RG) about 1837, then the most recent will be about 1837, so then I am wondering (if like the Quakers), whether the 1845 Selby NC Registers are even online yet, on a pay per view like Anc or FindMyPast?
No good me looking at images of RG Non-Conf. held in the TNA, they are a little too early for 1845.
This is also why George Hood's 1845 Quaker Burial Note wouldn't show up online.
Regards Mark
