I have nothing yet, to indicate that John Leadley of the Scarborough area, was related to John Leadley Hood.
I would like to see an old Hood of Nettleham family tree, fully laid out.
Regarding this Hood family of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, it seems according to notices in the newspapers, that where a female Hood has married, the son of that marriage has sometimes taken the name Hood from his Grandfather (being his mother's maiden name).
