Online Auction
Sadly, the following Vellum documents were sold online in early 2014 relating to George Hood of Selby.
Ousegate, Selby Conveyance documents 1838 and 1864
19th Jan 1838, a single page document, contains details of many properties in Selby to be either bought or leased to Mr George Hood.
20th Jan 1838 Conveyance is a large 5 page document between Bridget Nicholson, widow, of Rawcliffe, Snaith York and James Collinson. It contains many references to local businesses and names in Ousegate Street. There is also mention of 2 pews in the parish church of Selby.
I have managed to get the 3 photos of the seals and signatures purporting to belong to the Conveyance dated 20th January 1838:-
Briget Nicholson
Samuel Nicholson
Samuel Smith
George Smith
Wm Bawlanc [or Wm Bawland, or Wm Barulanc or Wm Borulanc, or Wm Boruland. End part of name possibly outside photo]
Abraham Hodgson
Hannah Carter Clark
Wm Milton [or Wm Mitton]
James Collinson
George Hood
Edw'd Parker
Regarding the 'single page document' (not on view online) dated 19th Jan 1838, it does sound as though George has received an inheritance as suggested by dobfarm.
I am going to consider the Yorkshire Will Calendars (Indexes) and possibly other Counties. Do you know please if all the Yorkshire Will Calendars are printed, as I understand that there were several layers that dealt with Wills in Yorkshire?
Where I live, the Calendars of Wills and Admons and the Wills themselves are either at Lichfield, or Wills on TNA, Kew, website.
Regarding William Hood's London Will, I feel that there would have to be some lengthy delay in settling the London Will, although if they were having difficulty, there would possibly be some Notice, or a case.
