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

[BushInn1746]

Richard Gibson, did not sign.
John Hood and George Hood did not sign the 1808 Petition.

There are many other familiar Selby names we have looked at over the years, signing it.

All signatures are readable, some were very nice writers!

Well first! George Hood's whereabouts may not have been in Selby 1808, John Hood could have been at sea at the time of this petition or Scarborough, and Richard Gibson's mind would have been on his financial situation on the edge of bankruptcy to be bothered about a petition. There would be people who agreed with the judgement who did not sign, there would be some (the poor) who may not have known about the petition ? as illiteracy was common those days. The victim sounds from your link maybe a very young female of the oldest profession known to man.

If George Hood marriage witness James Cocking was not a Selby resident 1815 its unlikely he was a regular witness for marriages at the Abbey, so what was the connection to George Hood or even Sarah Russell but as she was all Selby, and its more likely George knew James Cockin from where he came from (*Sort of paper trail-? back pre Selby 1812 for George.) as a friend, an in law, trade associate, or a family connection to George maybe.

Same with the J Dickinson witness

Last ? a scenario with there being no pre knowledge of his history 1812 Selby ? - George Hood was an orphan put into an apprenticeship trade of a master called Hood and his family by his parish council overseers and George took their surname. Possible his mother had George illegitimate and died in child birth or other medical reasons for her death.

James Cooken baptised 1763 Daresbury Cheshire parents Moses and Sarah Cocken

 A James Cookin died Runcorn 1847

Can't find a marriage Moses Cocken and Sarah (Who)

Its seems George Hood b1786 kids had connections to Cheshire

May seem a dumb question - but still: ~ ' Was there a Cookin or Cockin or Cook surname on those signatures to that petition in Selby '

[BushInn1746]

Thanks Dave

No Cockin(g) signature.

Oh yes a, John Cook

Positively identified from his 1815 Marriage at Howden, as John Cook of Selby, Gentleman, married, Mary Singleton, Spinster, of this Parish [Howden].

By Licence with Consent of Parents

Present as witnesses are:-

H. Morritt,
Hannah Singleton,
Mary Cook,
Charles Singleton,
Thos Tyas,
Rich'd Morley Kirlew,
James Gray or James Hay, but looks like Gray on B.T. copy,
Edw Palmer.

I have seen Tyas and Palmer at a lot of Marriages.

I don't think this John Cook of Selby, has been on my radar!

These connecting surnames of yours seem concentrated in links below, it just seems the Wilkinson surname like Grubb surname may have met again with the Arundel surname in your James Hood family middle surnames list.

George Wilkinson land tax Knottingley 1813 +/- years seem a centre point of the happenings at the time parameters around George Hood's appearance and marriage in Selby 1812 -1815


One question that I bothers me why only one witness James Cookin or Cooking Or Cook and had to have an Abbey / church official sign John Dickinson sign a 2nd witness 1815 marriage George Hood and Sarah Russell Selby.

Same surname Dickinson appears and signed another marriage after the marriage below

(Quote: - from post link below )

Knottingley Marriage 6th December 1791
George GRUBB and Ann HOOD both of this Chapelry were Married in this Chapel by Banns
John Dobson, Minister
Wits: Elizabth Leake, John Gill and Wm: Dickinson
(Wm Dickinson signs next Marriage also)



-----------

Some these surnames linking with George Wilkinson property in Knottingley ?

Coincidence  maybe but unusual so much concentration of these linking surnames

So that I don't lose this amongst numerous notebooks:-

Westmoreland Wills

Will of Jane Lazingby, of
Old Field End, Patton, Kendal, Westmorland, Widow

Copy at Lancashire Archives
R 499/18

1763
A transcription online, it says Jane Lazingby of Old Field End, Patton, Kirkbie Kendale, Westmoreland

ORIGINAL NOT SEEN:-

Claimed to mention:-
Thomas Cook of Selby, Yorkshire, 
William Cook the Younger of Selby, Yorkshire
Mary Cook of Selby

Regarding Lazenby, I do have this 1839 Marriage for nearby Riccall, Yorkshire, John Hood & Elizabeth Lazenby, but that John Hood seemed to move on, before the 1851 Census.
Witnesses:- Hervey Carr or Henrey Carr ; Eliz'th Taun (or Eliz'th Tann).
John Newsham, signs the other Marriage entry above.

At the Borthwick Institute at York, there are some documents for Heslington, which mention the Hood & Carr families occupying lands in Heslington. The Landowner seems to hold land in the Parish of Snaith too.

Regarding Heslington, they only seem to easily show up in Parish Registers, when they die, as though they are a Law unto themselves.

Paxton Hood preached at Heslington.
