Sorry if this has been touched on before but is there concrete proof that the John Hood in Selby per land tax and buried there with wife Jane IS the man from Scarborough who is the father of Maudland Hood.

Hello All

Thanks for replies.

Re your question Claire, yes.
Re your question dobfarm, yes likely a mystery Jane.

Jane was wife of John Hood of Selby Mariner when she was buried at Selby in 1803.

Slide over to Elizabeth Turner's 1795 Selby Baptism & Birth dates, so that it reveals the right hand page and confirmation of Maudland Hood's lineage.

We've seen the Scarborough St Mary's December 1775 Baptism Register (fiche) at Beverley. Maudland alias Morland was Maudland Hood baptised Scarborough St. Mary's December 1775 and D. of John Hood.

It seems the Selby John Hood has previously had enough of Scarborough as their children, even Spencer Hood (almost certainly his) have died in the 1770s along with wife Elizabeth.

Next a John Hood appears in the Selby Land Tax, circa 1781 (don't know if any older L/ Tax pages are online).

Then we have references to John Hood of Selby, Mariner in the Selby Register (both attached) and how he is Maudland's father.

1. We know Maudland Hood was baptised Scarborough and links to Jane and John Hood of Selby.
2. John Hood, Mariner was of Scarborough when he married Widow, Elizabeth Leppington (nee Spencer).
3. Spencer Hood S. of John Hood likely their child (John & Elizabeth Hood) buried too, probably with the other burials at Scarborough.
4. Elizabeth Hood burial at Scarborough, possibly John Hood's first wife.

John Hood of Scarborough, later John Hood of Selby has re-married a mystery Jane somewhere, after losing his wife Elizabeth Hood (ex Leppington Widow) nee Spencer.

Regards Mark


EDIT: From Goughy, on an old post

The marriage of John Hood/Jane Newby marriage in Scalby 1793 states John's occupation as Farmer

Well I have to admit that does seem pretty conclusive.

Like you say - who is Jane ? And more importantly - who is George ?

Possible scenario - John Hood meets a Jane - possibly widow plus 40 age - maybe with a son George who takes the 'Hood' name when his mother remarries  :)

Are you saying (Mark)

With both George and Jane origins  and no marriage found to John Hood being 3 mysteries.

So mystery Jane Hood ... possible George Hood d 1845 was her son, thus George could be baptised illegitimate in Jane's maiden name and later taking John Hood's surname being the illegitimate father of George.

Sounds viable

or

Was John Hood father of George Hood a one off single entry baptized 1786 Gateshead (date of bapt exact to his known age b 1785/7 and father named John ) the same John Hood (origin of Scarborough) husband mariner of Jane Hood buried 1803 Selby
 ...

Having an affair with Jane (widow Slipper ?)


Hello All

Thanks for replies.

Possible Claire - George born to Jane, who then marries John Hood and George takes the surname Hood.

Similar to dobfarm, almost the same scenario, but John Hood as the father.


Had a vague, but interesting reply re the Petre Mss., the collection is uncatalogued, but a brief list has 'rentals General, 1810 -1826'  but no knowledge of which places. Collection covers Petre property in other Counties. Some Selby documents under York, but no knowledge of what they are.

Think we'll plan a journey there, to see if any reference re Richard Gibson to George Hood change of Tenancy, survives. Think that is favourite! Attempt to rule Gibson in, or out, as Uncle to George Hood.

Iffy  :-\

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

I can't either as siblings, what baffles me is George Hood the witness signature looks very like Mark's George d 1845 Selby signature also John Hood's signature seems similar to the Eliz  Eppington ( nee Spencer) marriage to John Hood.

How old did witnesses have to be to sign at wedding them days  ???- Say George was born 1780 he would be 13 in 1793 old enough to have developed his confident signature

As anyone found the year when Elizabeth (nee Gibson) Hood died

Well Mr G**gle isn't helping with regards to the age of witnesses at a wedding. Not sure if it differs to what it is today - and then I can't find anything concrete - couple of sites say there is no legal age for a witness - although some prefer the witnesses to be 'of age' or over eighteen.😁

I don't think anyone has found a burial for Elizabeth Hood nee Gibson. I've had a quick look but nothing definite in Durham or Northumberland.

I have to agree those signatures do look quite similar dobfarm.

Hello All

Thanks for the replies. Seen the marriage image and need to compare side by side, but surely my George would be too young to sign as witness?

My George Hood's birth is 1785 to 1787, per douments.


Hood transcribed as Wood
I've had this problem and seen one Northumberland image written HOOD, transcribed as WOOD by Family Search.

My own ancestors family was wrongly transcribed as Wood in 1881 by a subscription F H site. I can prove it is a wrong transcription from the childrens Birth Certificates. The site seem to have noticed and put "Wood [Hood]" or similar, when I last looked.


Although surname Wood is more popular, Hood is quite popular and in Yorkshire too.


Could any of the images, for John Wood & Jane 1775 to 1790, Yorkshire (Family Search), be HOOD please:-

John Wood & Jane Cobb, Hemingbrough, Yorks, 23 November 1780.

John Wood & Jane Swinbank, East Cowton, Yorks, 28 November 1785.

John Wood & Jane Standige, St. Peter, Leeds, 31 August 1789.

Thanks.

Regards Mark

My reasoning.

Its may seem far fetched but these are the extremes we have now to look at with George !! who seemed to appear very well educated with a sound business background knowledge from experience in 1812 to takeover or turnaround a failed but now a recovery business and which he did also later expanding his business interests. This is my doubts for reasoning of George Hood being older than he stated 1815 aged 28 = 26 of age in 1812.

I've had a feeling a while George was fibbing about his age at marriage, now if the fib carried on year by year through to his death with Sarah Russel believing he was younger, thus informant at death would state his age as from 28 in 1815 marriage age. I've seem similar in marriage by licence age being wrong before in ancestry. My mum thought dad should have retired 3 years before he did at 65 and it all came out he was 3 years younger or he fibbed on his marriage certificate to be same age as mum.  ;D ;D ;D
