Who is JAKE HOOD, linked to Hood of Selby - Any help please?

[dobfarm]

Jame (James) ? (or Jake-Jac/Jak for Jacob = James) Biblical Quaker everyday name for James

Quakers ?

Sarah nee Russel - Hood died 1879  (left no Will [family wealth with her ?] ) virtually where the Quaker burial ground is in Selby with her known Quaker daughter in law (wife of the late William Hood) present at death   -who was intern herself later buried in Selby Quaker ground.

James Hood's wife Sarah (nee illegitimate Arundal a Wesleyan bapt)) buried Quaker burial ground Mansfield 1911 (As link above)

QU ! was any of James's children Quaker births or burials or James Hood burial

(Bed linen and silver spoons were important items in Wills 16th to 18th/early 19th centuries but unusual in the 20th century Wills indicating Quaker ideology values (Old fashioned but like Jews knew about handling money)

Hello All

Thanks for that summary dobfarm.

I'm not a Quaker, but in our family John is known as Jack, definitely.


Jake seems to be Jacob, but Quakers might have a different alias.


Re shares in London Transport Company, I've been searching all Jacob Hoods in the newspaper Archive, there is a 19th Cent Hood with shares in Railway Companies, in England and also a Parliamentary challenge by a HOOD over two Railway Bills.

However, shareholder Hood, has managed to restrict his/her name to just "Hood", whereas with the other names, their names are given, or at least (Sir, or Mr or Miss or Mrs) along with initials and surname.

A headstone can be seen, right of the right tree.


It is almost likely Edwin would have followed in the footsteps of his father William Hood of Selby (d.1870, aged 54), a Quaker.

James Hood was a Quaker, who married Sarah Arundel. I've already traced newspaper death notices of both and the newspaper piece of James Hood Inquest, how Sarah did not swear Oath, before the Coroner's Court, (a tell-tale sign the person may be a Quaker).


George Hood of Selby (died 1862) who married Ann Marrison, born [CORRECTION] BLYTH, Nottinghamshire (per 1861 Selby Census), I seem to think someone on Rootschat thought Ann was/might be a Quaker?


Edwin, son of William Hood has mentioned Ackworth School, definitely a Quaker School.

We've already found some of the Hood of Selby grandchildren in the Ackworth School admissions book (online, free download).


However, George Hood (died Sept 1845) is not in The Annual Monitor (Soc. of Friends) listing Obits and names of their members, so assuming my George Hood was not a Quaker.

Re Jane Hood's ownership of  Pennsylvania Railroad shares, this was a fairly commonplace investment for the British public. See https://goo.gl/kBxFzk

"By 1885 the British had invested more in American Railroads than in national debt"

"By 1890 foreign investors controlled more than half of the PRR's stock"

I checked the Selby burial ground this back in May this year, there are a couple of very old 1600's head stones (No Hood's or other known surnames linked to Hood's) but what look like headstone shaped boards on the fence behind the building a just that !! plain boards with no writing on them.

George Hood of Selby (died 1862) who married Ann Marrison, born Thorne (per 1861 Selby Census), I seem to think someone on Rootschat thought Ann was/might be a Quaker?

Unquote


I would push hard on this !!! to see if George Hood d 1862 had Quaker links meaning 3 known sons associated to Quakers and possible daughters of George Hood senior died 1845.

QU - George Hood senior died 1845 a possible Quaker and Sarah Russel C of E hence the Anglican baptisms of her children

I can't see an Ann Marrison in the Quaker records at all, I can't find a baptism full stop.

Although there are quite a few Quaker records for a Marrison family in Fishlake, but a lot earlier. Is Fishlake quite near Thorne?

[..claire..]

A general search of any Quakers born in Selby has thrown up a COOK(E) family born c1750, including an Elizabeth, William and Thomas children of a William and Mary.

EDIT: All three children had died by c1785, although a Samuel Cook witnesses at one.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong Ann married to George in 1861, her place of birth is Blyth, Nottinghamshire.  There is a matching baptism in Blyth 24 Jul 1826 d/o William & Mary.

No wonder I couldn't see her
