This is all very tenuous and I recall the Fleur de lis symbol also being discussed as a boy.

Hi

On the wall of Selby Abbey is a SPENCER Burial Memorial with three Fleur de Lis on, I recall my Grandma talking about Fleur de Lis, as a boy.

The Spencer Memorial was a Shield (Family Arms).

Three Fleur de lis in a row, diagonally - top left to bottom right.

Two Squares (each with four equal square segments (panes) ) - top right to bottom left (one either side of the row of Fleur de lis).

I recall as a boy my Grandmother (Hood side) discussing the Fleur de lis, with my Grandfather (Mother's) side, also discussed were crows, rooks and ravens [bird type on the Hood Arms].

Doing a  blank open Hood (and known possible connection sunames) search in Ireland, Isle of man, Channel Isles and Scotland (or even India ? or empire dominions) makes sense in its own right especially Wills/probate records also  parish and other denomination of discerners records. Unless George was a self made man from poor law education & apprenticeship origins of his low needed start up funds somewhere. Skills George learned, picking up bankrupt business tools of the trade & chance of existing set up cooper premises to rent and did a deal with the Prete's. Modest inherited funding left in a Will could explain the restart of R Gibson's Cooper by George.

(with as below)

Finding a Cooper to rekindle existing laid out barrel making premises for rent with some kind of deal 'pay back as you work loan' deal & business accounting help by Lord Petre or his estate with parish admin .
 

Hi

Thanks dobfarm, if only I had a clue.

Hi

When Mary Peacock (Jane Cassons mother) was born one of the witnesses in the register was a Jane Pennock.

An Amey Pennock (bn Seamer) married a William Simpson (from Hull) in Seamer 1795. (Anglican marriage)

Their daughter Jane Simpson was bpt. a Quaker in 1798.
Father was a house carpenter and joiner.

This daughter Jane Simpson went on to marry a William Simpson a school master in 1823 (Quaker marriage)

Claire

Standering and Burton
Standering and Burton, Ousegate, Selby, were Wine and Spirit Merchants in William White's 1837 Directory, later becoming Standering and Burton Limited of Selby.

George Hood of Selby
This might explain why George Hood acquired a load of property in Ousegate in 1838, I know at least part of the property was kept in Trust by the Hoods and used by James Collinson.

I'm wondering if the other part of the Ousegate properties acquired by Hood in 1838, might have been used by Standering and Burton.

I could never understand why George Hood purchased a part of Ousegate, because he was already set up with Wren Lane and 4/5ths share of a House (divided into three) in Gowthorp with Yards, Buildings, Garden and Orchard. George Hood acquired the last 1/5th before he died.

Pitt and Pearson
Interesting that a George PEARSON was in a similar Wine Trade etc?

George Pearson left the partnership in 1838.

Mark

The Leeds Mercury 14th April 1838

THE BEST SODA WATER IN THE KINGDOM ! ! !
PITT and PEARSON of Selby, Wines, Spirits, London Porter, Tea, Coffee, & c. Real Havannah Cigars, Soda Water and Lemonade of the purest Water by Steam Power.

Their advert, Pitt and Pearson, Market Place, Selby dated 30th March 1838 of Mr HENRY PITT confirms GEORGE PEARSON was his BROTHER.

Another advert suggests they had connections with Hull and London.

Is it possible please, to work out their parentage and place of birth, if HENRY PITT 's Brother was GEORGE PEARSON?

 --------

Also, The Hull Advertiser 19th April 1833

TO BE LET
Also PITT and PEARSON were advertising the "ROSE and CROWN", Crescent, Selby, now in the occupation of Mr Benjamin MATTHEWMAN.


Interesting that the Selby Cemetery Grave Plan has a MATTHEWMAN grave next to my JOHN HOOD and Wife Sarah Hood, with BURTON (known to be related to Sarah RUSSELL) and Standering Graves, adjacent too.


Anything on these two Brothers:- HENRY PITT and GEORGE PEARSON, please?

Thank you, Mark

Well to start:

 In the 1841 census Henry Pitt wine merchant was 'not' born in county (Yorkshire)
He was living on Gowthorp with his wife Mary (Watson)

He married by licence dated 22 Nov 1824,
His residence was Selby and he was 27

Mary Watson was resident at York St Michael Le Belfrey, and was 23

He went bankrupt 23 December 1842 ( info from Bankrupt Directory 1820-1843)

[..claire..]

COMPLETELY EDITED THE POST

George Pearson married Ann WATSON in Selby 1822

Ann Watson & Mary Watson must have been sisters, making George Pearson & Henry Pitt brothers in law.
