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

[BushInn1746]

Hi

What if George Hood & Sarah Russel's first witness was "James COOKIN" in 1815.


I wonder what the images actually say please?


1765 (Marriages 1538- 1973)
James Cookin married Anne Easton, at Luddington


(Births and Christenings 1538- 1975)
Michael Cookin baptised 21 May 1820, Parents James Cookin and Mary.


1841 Census
James Cookin born circa 1817


Enjoy the John Cookin pic, it is one of the most striking old epitaph's I've seen for a Son.

That's a pretty beautiful Memorial 

First marriage

EDIT: Worcestershire records not online

Hope the census is the one you mean - in Barnborough, Yorkshire

Oh thanks, I thought Cookin was in my imagination.

This signature is all I've got directly linked to George Hood's 1815 Marriage.

Kind regards, Mark

Does his occupation say Miller ? - Could be the son of a miller

Was Chester Newby something to do with Corn, or have I imagined that

EDIT: There is a James Cookin Will (not online) Date: 09 Jul 1850

Place: Rowley Regis
Jurisdiction: Diocese of Worcester
Archive: The Hive, Worcestershire

Thanks Claire

Yes, Chester Newby (George Hood's Marriage Bondsman) was a Miller.


I've got a Death Certificate for a Thomas Cookin, aged 75 years, who died 6th May 1847 at Luddington and the "Death in the Sub-district of Swinefleet" was No-Mans Land!


Because on the top, it stated "in the Counties of York, West Riding and Lincoln"


William Hood of Hull LCC 1810 Will  may be interesting.

I had thought about boundaries with other counties regarding looking for a birth for GH. I recently helped out on a thread where the parish I was looking at was Sedbergh.

One site the records were in Yorkshire, the other the records were in Cumbria. If GH was born in a close to the border town/hamlet/village - we could be looking at any number of places for him around Yorkshire, without him realising what county he may have been born in even.

A nearby Lane has a Bin lorry do 3 houses on one side and our Council Bin lorry does the couple of houses on the other side, because town boundaries run down the middle.

Perhaps Madam Hood gave birth on a boundary

GH is certainly pushing the boundaries with us isn't he 

Was Sarah Russels mother the one that married the Goldsbrough man ?

Found a Thomas Goldsbrough as an executor in a Will ( Thomas Tarbottom of Selby innkeeper) -his wife Elizabeth being a beneficiary.

And a Thomas Goldsbrough in the Navy musters on board the Royal Oak in 1781 -  that's the ship the other George Hood is on in the records we've seen ?

Grrr!! When I compared his marriage certificate signature to the other, I though I had the man
