George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage - James Cookin / James Cook in W

[BushInn1746]

Thanks dobfarm

I got the original scan off FindMyPast (much clearer), but same as your print.

There is a massive amount of Royal Navy records in TNA, Kew and afraid that I am only familiar with a tiny amount of 1940 R.N.

So I have posted a request for any assistance here.

Help with Royal Naval Allotment Books and Records circa 1808 - 1815?

Land tax records 1812 would end of 1812 tax year March 1813  allied end of Parish year


If this is the case, George Hood left the HMS Acasta July 15th 1812, then he was free of RN- Berwick place of Allotment payment being North east, Northumberland.

Perfect for George Selby 1812)


For the 18th century and much of the 19th century, ratings only signed up for a commission on a particular ship and was only employed for the duration of the commission. Therefore, naval rating's records are rarely indexed by name with no individual service records kept on a sailor. It is therefore imperative that the name of the ship is known to conduct research on a rating. After Continuous Service was introduced in 1853, centralised records were kept on individual ratings which established a professional structure to the Navy.

Yes, this George Hood's Birthplace, should be in the Ship's Book of the ACASTA in ADM 36.

But I could only find a few Ship's Books online (not the ACASTA) on the subscription site and wondered whether I was searching right?

  --------

George Hood was in the Selby Land Tax from March 1812 (although I believe an 'Occupier' does not have to live there, but simply renting the premises from the owner, because some sub-let, or rented several premises).

... "Assessment made for one Year from the 25th Day March 1812" ...

Hopefully a Birthplace location looks hopeful.
