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

[BushInn1746]

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.

Quote Mark

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?

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

Hello All

Thank you.

Was interested Shaun in that book, which mentioned that nearly half the shares of the Pennsylvanian Railway were owned by shareholders here.

Very sorry, Ann Hood (nee Marrison) was born Blyth, Nottinghamshire, per 1861 Census, I've corrected my post and taken the liberty of correcting the quote here.

Marriage 6th December 1855
George Hood 32 years Bachelor, Farmer, Married Ann Marrison 28 years Spinster, at Selby Parish Church, by Licence.
James Hood and Sarah Hood were witnesses.
Fathers were:-
George Hood, Brewer.
William Marrison, Stonemason.

If nothing comes from the research I've ordered at Newcastle ...

Rather than just accept, that there is no Quaker George Hood baptism, or September 1845 burial, I will likely wish to see these Selby Quaker births, marriages and deaths generally, plus the Selby meeting records, just in case there are other Hoods mentioned and the meeting/s have references to Hoods & burial/s elsewhere.

Fishlake is West of Thorne and I have Cockins around that area too!

Thank you, Mark

[..claire..]

First thing I've found in Quaker records is one Cockin family. One child a  John COCKIN born Doncaster 27 May 1782. Father Richard a breeches maker and Deborah his wife.

Lots of children; Ann, Hannah, Ellen, Richard, Deborah, Lucy, Joseph and Mary - No James unfortunately

Hi,  I seem to remember on one of the numerous threads regarding the elusive George hood burial that there was a mention of Quakers and a possible link to the "Casson"? family of Thorne near Doncaster, It's no doubt a long shot, but, there was numerous members of the Casson family who were Quakers, these were all buried in the Quaker burial ground (long overgrown) at Thorne.

It just makes me wonder if George could have been buried there  .................................................................................................. Wherever he is, he's doing a bl**dy good job of keeping it a secret

Hi All

Thanks for the replies. Frank, I'm just as frustrated re my Ol' secretive George.

oil painting of Burns
Edwin Hood will written in 1941, mentions an "oil painting of Burns"

Sounds like this might be Robert Burns, or it could also be a family ancestor with the same surname.


Regarding the "oil painting of Burns" Edwin could have:-
i) been left this or
ii) purchased it or
iii) acquired it, via his father William Hood, being the first-born son of George and Sarah Hood
iv) been given it from a sideways relative, or other relative.


Going back to the suggestion, that my George Hood came from Gateshead / Newcastle.

Robert Burns and Thomas Hood
I found this regarding Thomas Hood and Robert Burns online ...

THOMAS HOOD

Accompanied Burns and Ker into England, on the Border tour, after the poet had parted from Ainslie, who returned to Edinburgh.
 
Burns described Ker and Hood in a letter to Ainslie from Newcastle, 29th May 1787:

'Old Mr Tho Hood has been persuaded to join or Partie, and Mr Kerr and he do very well, but alas! I dare not talk nonsense lest I lose all the little dignity I have among the sober sons of wisdom and discretion, and I have not had one hearty mouthful of laughter since that merry melancholy moment we parted.


George Hood Gowring Married Violet Burns Hutchinson 1889, Robert Burns Gt. Granddaughter
Also found a George Hood Gowring marrying Violet Burns Hutchinson, at Cheltenham in 1889, she is described in both newspaper extracts as the Great Granddaughter of Robert Burns.

Robert Burns died intestate in 1796.

Regards Mark

EDIT: I made a couple of enquiries to those involved in Robert Burns history/research and waiting to hear.

[dobfarm]

It could be ? " an oil painting by Burns" (an Artist) considering the value of the estate, though the total estate was quite a value for those years, I think an original painting of Burns the poet would be of far greater value in its own right. (Like super rich American art & poet lovers market - Yanks go crackers over anything - Rabbie Burns )

Hello All

Thanks for that link dobfarm.

The Burns Museum replied today, but cannot find any reference in their records for Thomas Hood. It will be interesting what the other replies say.

Thanks for trying to all those who checked information and contributed.

The Newcastle burial checks, could take up to 6 weeks, before I get a reply.

Thank you.

Kind regards, Mark

Hello

Thanks dobfarm.

Re: Robert Burns, it says online he signed his name Robert Burness.

His parents were, William Burnes and Agnes Broun - online reference.

Broun, was an alias of Brown.


Rather than drive Rootchatters mad, checking scenarios (partial trees) looking for a possible fit, I want to take a break please and attempt to find George Hood's burial place, as I need to see where he was buried and what the Burial Register says and also check any surviving headstone.

Thank you.

Hello All

Thanks dobfarm.

Yes, Hoods obviously at Newcastle and if I recall correctly at those other places.

I wonder if there is any clue in this reference to the painting of Burns, but after George Hood's lack of clues so far, it needs to be treated with caution.

I don't want anyone losing any sleep over this, though!

Edwin Paxton Hood was an English nonconformist and author. He lived for a while, at a place just outside York.

When I was about 5, I recall a big discussion about Scottish history and my Grandmother Hood claimed we were Scottish.

The Hoods that came from Scotland attempted to reach London, but populated places on the route, such as Northumberland, Yorkshire etc.

Thank you.
