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

[BushInn1746]

An ESTILL link has been suggested before to PROCTER of Selby?

But this was the problem:-

1851 Census Cloughton, Yorkshire
John Estill, Head, Mar, 62, Ag Lab, Burniston, Yorkshire. 
Ann Estill, 58, Wife, Mar, born Cloughton, Yorkshire.
Mary A. Duck, Grandau, 6, born Stanton Dale, Yorks.

When looking for a HORD or HOOD baptism, there is only an earlier Ann HIRD, baptism at Cloughton, Yorkshire.


1813 Scalby & Chapelry of Cloughton
Francis HORD (his mark) married Eliabeth Jackson (her mark)
Present as Wits: Henry Cockerill (mark) ; Stephenson Rawling (his mark) ; John Hovington.

1814, 22nd February
John Hovington marries Ellis Stonehouse (on same page as the 1813 Marriage above)
Present as wits: Ann T[?]rnson ; Elizabeth LEADLAY and Ambrose Stonehouse, are witnesses.


1797 Scalby
John LEADLAY married Elizabeth Stonehouse both of this Parish
wits: Elizabeth Harrison ; John Stonehouse (All signed)


1819, 3rd July at Scalby & Chapelry of Cloughton, by Licence
Stephenson Rawling married Ann Sedman
wits: Ambrose Stonehouse ; Martha Sedman ; Thomas Grundon

 
When looking for the Baptism of Ann HORD, I also noticed a Francis HIRD baptised.


Managed to find Ann HORD signature in 1811, to John Estill.
Present (wits): Eliz Smith ; John Langdale ; William Bean


Mark


Added:

That Northumberland 1840 Will has just come to mind that HOOD had previously married LEADLAY

Just remembered and found the M.I. records for Scalby I purchased.

There is a July 1833 Memorial of Mary Hood [nee Mary Leadlay], Cloughton.

Inserted by the transcribers is ... PR 1833 Jul 26 Mary Hood, Shields, 28.


I think the link to another George Hood was made when in ...

1829 at Scalby on 23rd June, by Licence
George HOOD married Mary LEADLAY
Present as wits: William HOOD ; Thomas HARRISON


1759 at Scalby
Thomas Craven married Sarah HOOD
Wits: Robart Langdale ; Henry Baines


1763
Richard Jefferson married Esther Carr
Present as wits: John Hood ; E. Craven and John Jefferson are all present

It looks to be the signature of John Hood, Mariner of Selby


I shall have to research and draw up a Tree and check if there is an actual link from PROCTER and MASSEY of Selby by marriages to this George and John HOOD of Cloughton, Yorkshire.

Some of these Marriages have had Licences too and I don't have the Cloughton and Scalby ones photographed.

So James Cookin ; Cockin ; Cocking also spelt Cockling of Luddington it seems, had married into the Easton family by the looks of it and looks to be linked to Easton of Welton by Marriage?

This is what seems to have happened to James Cookin:-

Hello All

I also have this thing about the place of Thorne in Yorkshire.

James Cockin of Thorne (and from c.1800 lived and buried at Armthorpe), are possibly where James Cockin [Jun'r] might come from on the George Hood 1815 Marriage.

James Cockin was the Son of James Cockin of Barnby Dun (from the childrens Baptisms, mother Mary was the Daughter of John Torr of Hatfield).

George Hood of Selby
George Hood of Selby is on a spending spree from c.1830 onward.

Richard Pearson the Elder of Thorne, Yorkshire
At Thorne, there is a Shipbuilder, who was also a Shipowner and Shop owner, Richard Pearson of Thorne who died and has an 1830 Probate set at £7,000.

There is a document listed in Death Duty Index, at Kew, for Pearson and it should say who his beneficiaries were.

Waiting for Page Check and price to order it.

About 1799 there is also a Chancery Case involving Richard Pearson and Thomas Collinson and two others (appointed as a Committee) in respect of the Estate of Joseph Gilderdale, Ship Owner a Lunatic late of Thorne, now of York, Executor in the Last Will and Testament of Robert Gilderdale late of Thorne, Master Mariner, Deceased.
Order Made by the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.

1770
Robert Gilderdale, Mariner, married Ann Howard, at Thorne.
Wits: Wm Ingle ; Thos Travis

I think there might be a Collinson link too.

John Whaley of Thorne, in Parnership with Mordecai Casson of Thorne
On 9th October 1820 the Partnership between John Whaley of Thorne and Mordecai Casson the Elder of Thorne (as surviving Executors to Robert Staniland late of Thorne Waterside, Roper, deceased), and John Fisher of Selby, was dissolved.

John Whaley of St Olaves London, married Hannah Pearson, at Thorne
Previously, in 1808 at Thorne, Yorkshire, John Whaley of St Olaves, London, married Hannah Pearson, Spinster, at Thorne, Yorkshire and R Pearson, Jun'r, was one of several witnesses.

So Casson and Whaley of Thorne and Whaley and Pearson of Thorne were linked by business and a marriage.

So I'll be looking at Richard Pearson, Sen'r Shipbuilder &c. [etc.] connections.


1795 Elizabeth Hord married Henry Casson
Henry Casson of Myton, Hull, Miller (Son of Mordecai Casson of Thorne, Currier & Sarah, deceased), married Elizabeth Hord (Daughter of Jeremiah Hord of Hull, Mariner, by Elizabeth, deceased), wits John Belton ; Edw West ; Mord: Casson Jun'r.


Elizabeth Hord born 1769.


1796 28th July, Duty Paid on Apprentices
Mordecai Casson, Thorne, Co of York, Draper & c., John COCKIN [Apprentice]

Hello

Township Records, Selby Yorkshire DC/SBU/IX/2/4 Account Book 1815 to 1819
Selby, Yorkshire, 'Overseers of Poor' Accounts up to the new Act (1837), only survive from 1815 to 1819. Earlier Account Books end about 1780.

Pensions
John Hood, buried Selby, 4th April 1819 aged 82 years [the Mariner] received 3 shillings per payment at Selby, Yorkshire, as an 'Out Pensioner' from the first surviving Accounts in 1815 to March 1819, when his payments stop part of the way through a payment period (around the time of his burial) and apparently not residing in the Workhouse, being an 'Out Pensioner'.

In the notes which follow the Selby, Yorkshire, payments, it makes reference to Charles Turner receiving 10 shillings 6 pence expenses towards John Hood's Funeral.

Some did receive more than this figure for a funeral in the Accounts.
 ----------
George Hood of Selby
Regarding George Hood, the only new snippets in some recently seen paperwork was that:-
a) his occupation was Professional
b) George Hood of Selby sent someone else to negotiate and make the Agreement to Purchase the Wren Lane, Malt Kiln of John Clarkson's of New Port, Eastrington.
c) George Hood promised to make the payment at the Angel Inn, in Howden.
d) George Hood paid a pretty substantial amount (for 1836) of £510 for the very modest small property of Lord Petre.
e) Edward Parker, Solicitor, prepared a large and extensive 49 page Abstract of Title costing £31 - 16s - 9d in Legal Charges, for Hood's property purchase from Petre at Selby that seemed to cost £50.
f) there is an almost complete Title page fragment torn from an old New Testament Bible and on the reverse are some 18th Century Russell dates including Sarah Russell's and also the William Russell to Mary Burton, marriage and date. Rather interestingly it is marked H1 in different thicker ink and have seen marking like this before on exhibit documents returned from Court.
g) before and about 1836 various named individuals had secured Judgements against Petre in the Court of the King's Bench and the Court of Common Pleas. Seen a newspaper reference previously.
h) it would seem Sarah Russell was prohibited from having a Dower and to receive only an annual sum.

More mystery for me!

Assuming George Hood of Selby was son John Hood mariner buried 1819 Selby

I'm those days a son would out rank a daughter & her husband, a question could be put why would a son in law Charles Turner be receiving 10 shillings 6 pence expenses from the parish accounts towards John Hood's funeral if his son George Hood being a business owner was of substance to pay all the funeral expense.

If John Hood buried 1819 Selby had a private grave - there would be a named owner of the grave in the grave records book if it survived ? - maybe son George Hood or son in law Charles Turner.

Therefore if it was Charles Turner the grave owner, then its doubtful George Hood was son of John Hood master mariner of Selby.

The 10 shilling and sixpence granted to Charles Turner from the parish towards John Hood's funeral also begs the question - 'Why would the parish offer a son in law funds toward a funeral if they knew John Hood the deceased had a son of means living in the parish'. Which also cast doubt on George being John Hood mariner's son.

If it was George Hood who was the grave owner of John Hood mariner 1819 Selby Abbey you have a connection.

[BushInn1746]

Added to and altered to give brief events, after checking photocopies:

The funeral amounts paid out varied, one funeral received about twice the amount.

They were a list of names, half a sentence summary and the amount paid to the named person.

What it does prove 100% was that Charles Turner via his Wife Maudland (nee Hood) was related to John Hood, buried at Selby, Yorkshire, in April 1819.

When George Hood began married life, he probably hadn't got much either and possibly both George Hood and Maudland Turner made claims in 1819??

The record only says who received an amount towards the cost of John Hood's Funeral.

A Cooper business that had gone bankrupt once, perhaps the Accounts may have showed signs it would go the same way.

London Gazette 1842, Insolvent Debtors
Joseph Mitchell, who appears to have taken over in other premises nearby, had become insolvent by 1842.

George Hood - Brewing By 1826
Looking at the nearest 1823 Survey which shows George Hood at Wren Lane, the 1826 Baptism of Richard Hood at Selby and a Street Directory, George Hood, had changed to Brewing at Wren Lane, Selby, between 1824 and 1826.

Don't forget, Sarah Hood (nee Russell) his Wife, was a Basket Weaver, which she kept going according to Street Directories some years after they married.

1830s
George Hood didn't start with three Malt Kilns, it wasn't until the 1830s that he acquired two more Malt Kilns.

1831
Purchased 4/5ths of a Tannery in Gowthorpe (from four of the beneficiaries of the late John Clark), where it seemed he set up his 2nd or 3rd Malt Kiln.

1833
Purchased a Malt Kiln in Wren Lane, Selby, from John Clarkson, formerly late Henry Mitton.

1835-6
Purchased the neighbouring property in Wren Lane and Micklegate, Hood's first property (ex Gibson & Holiday) that he had previously rented from Lord Petrie, which became his first Malt Kiln c.1825.

It was not until 1838 that G.H. purchased the Nicholson properties (very late in his life).

The document in the HSBC Archives was dated 1840s, so must date 1840 to 1845.

The Will Valuation is at death in 1845.

George Hood, may have started life, with very little, with what he had saved from when he was employed.

Maybe a titchy bit more researching (not a lot) on both Jane Hood 1803 and John Hood 1819 deaths Selby to see if George Hood pops up in records as and when I'm in York.

As a example: about 10 years ago a woman in the USA, had been trying to find a baptism of a X number of Gt Grandads back called Henry ****** (Something) into the 18th century in Holmfirth to no avail ! - a few years later I was looking through parish tax or other account books for Wooldale part of Holmfirth area for someone else. I picked up this strange WYAS archive account book up as at the front was what it said it was, but at the back it had pages of upside down writing going inwards into the book, after turning the around it had two fronts, with scribbled list of missing Baptisms and Burials for the for C of E Holmfirth Parish and there was Henry.

 The woman went ***crazy*** when told Henry's baptism was found !- I think she had given up on Henry. 

As for now shopping time

Hello Dave and All

Thank you, but please don't feel you need to go to Archives.

If you spot something (like the Selby School record online) I can purchase a scan or copy from here.

This wretched illness is still circulating (or something is) in our Midlands locality, it also has no regard for vaccination status and in the last two weeks heard of two more lost (known to people I know).

It has already and is also still hitting my family very hard who took all the so called preventions.

Ann Spruce a Beneficiary of Richard Spencer
I'm still awaiting her Will to see if I can get an inroad into the Richard Spencer of Scarborough Family and another Will of James Cockin of Barnby Dun.

Plus in the process of getting Richard Pearson document scans.

Keep safe everyone, Mark

Mark

In 1836 £100 would be worth £14,596 today - so if George Hood paid approx £500 for Malt Kiln in Wren Lane, Selby,

I think I remember George Hood paying about approx £ 100 for a steam engine at some point.

10 shillings and sixpence = in 1819 Chares Turner  about £75 and George Hood 1833 £500 = £72845 in today

Still does not make sense

A workman cooper apprentice time served tradesman starting out (Even a much more skilled cooper Richard Gibson failed business wise) or a very highly skilled recovery stock businessman loaded with a pocket of cash (George's later track record  business years in Selby support the latter)

Mr. and Mrs. Petrie remained nearly a year in Belgium. In the Spring of 1842 they returned to England, Mr. Petrie's affairs having been satisfactorily arranged and his debts discharged.

 --------------------

My George Hood is someone who was able to purchase property or whatever, from people who either needed to raise cash or dispose of items of value (for example Nicholson's 3 Trustees couldn't manage the property portfolio left in Trust for the Son and went to Court 1830 to 1835 and seemed to be saying we don't want the responsibility of managing the properties, so the Judge ordered a sale in 1835).

My ancestor seems to be able to raise the money (possibly put his proposition to the Bank and borrow), buy, sell it off, repay the loan and probably make a small profit in the process?
