COCKIN Quaker Deaths. 1813-1892

EDIT

GIBSON Quaker Deaths. 1813-1892

Emma GIBSON dying Newcastle upon Tyne, 1840, aged 69, places of Birth are not given on the Quaker Index (unless there is an Obituary as well in Society of Friends - The Annual Monitor).

Is this Burial online in the (RG 6) Quaker series, please?

 --------

I will go through the Probate gov.uk (from 1858) and see if I spot anything, for Quakers of interest.

Hello All

Thanks Claire for the reply.

I'm hoping that developments in the last 24 hours regarding George Hood's past (buried in the Selby Quaker Burial Ground as "Not in Membership"), will show the first signs of a few cracks!


Maudland Hood

One of the witnesses at Maudland Hood's Wedding at Selby 27th November 1794 was Frances STEARS.

After searching Family Search again, there is a possibility that witness Frances Stears, might be a Quaker?


Frances Stears to Richard Yarwood 4th February 1796

For the Stears = Yarwood marriage Family Search are quoting Quaker references:-
RG 6/785 (TNA cat - says Yorkshire QUARTERLY Meeting - Marriages Soc. of Friends' Registers)
and
RG 6/857 (TNA cat - says York - MONTHLY Meeting - Marriages Soc. of Friends Registers).


Frances Yarwood, aged 83, is recorded as a Quaker at death, Hull.

 --------

Maudland Hood's Father was John Hood of Selby, Mariner (late of Scarborough, where Maudland Hood's birth and Baptism dates are recorded - St Mary's).

Something is there, George Hood was well educated, Maudland was not.

Hi

Thank you Claire, for the 1799 information.

In 1799 Mary Stears of Selby, who has the same Father (Thos Stears of Bewholme) as Frances Stears (a witness on Maudland HOOD's Marriage), married JOHN PROCTER of Stockton.

Notice the links to SCARBOROUGH too, in the 1799 Marriage.
John PROCTER's Father Stephen PROCTER was late of Scarborough.

Mary STEARS 1799 marriage is witnessed by Thomas PROCTER of SELBY, [father of William PROCTER of SELBY, also a Flax Dresser] who we know had links with my GEORGE HOOD.

Kind regards Mark

Claire you've been busy!

Thank you very much, finding a John Hood & Sarah Hood attending the 1783 Quaker Marriage of Abel Chapman of Whitby, Master Mariner, to Elizabeth Simpson, Daughter of Wakefield Simpson of Whitby, at the Meeting House in Stainton-dale.


Thanks dobfarm, I just feel with the "Not in Membership" burial in the Selby Quaker Burial Ground of George Hood of Selby and George Hood's Quaker contacts with Jonathan Hutchinson; William Procter and William Massey all of Selby, there must be some Quaker link somewhere.

Kind regards Mark

Looking at the two Frances Stears signatures (1794 and 1796) they are by the same person, except that Frances Stears has botched her fancy tall capital F, restarting/altering it, due to the narrowness of the signature space in the Selby Parish Register in 1794.

My feeling is that we have Frances Stears a Quaker as one of the witnesses at Maudland Hood's, Selby Wedding in 1794.

Nowhere does a Frances Stears appear in the Selby Parish Register transcriptions circa 1579 Bap/1583 up to 1812.

JOHN & SARAH HOOD WITNESSES -  Something else to think about - the Chapman/ Simpson marriage - wonder if this Simpson family are related to the Jane 'Casson' Hood - her cousin 'Simpson' mentioned in her Will.
