James Hood of Selby, was the same James Hood of Scarborough Tallow Chandler.
The Partnership of Newham and Hood, Tallow Chandlers, at Scarborough was dissolved in 1875.
(Thomas Newham and James Hood), see attachment.
Thomas Newham, died aged 78 in 1886, District of Scarborough.
Thomas Newham, died aged 59 in 1900, District of Scarborough.
The 1900 Probate Calendar states:-
NEWHAM Thomas of 11 South Street Scarborough butcher and farmer died 11 January 1900 Administration YORK 2 April to Thomas Hugill Newham butcher Effects £9631 10s. 10d.
Been looking at the Probate Calendars back from 1900 and found this:-
1893
HOOD Francis of 12 South Street Scarborough greengrocer died 25 January 1893 Administration YORK 6 May to Harriet Hood widow Effects £94 15s.
A Francis Hood and Harriet Pettyt, married in the District of York, June Quarter 1868.
Francis Hood living one house number away, from the former business partner (or his family) of James Hood of Selby?
Be interesting to see the marriage of this Francis Hood (born about 1845/1846, per death age of 47 years on Free BMD) and anything else that can be dug up please?
