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

[dobfarm]

The years 1806/8 to 1812 (George Hood death 1845 Selby) from being abt 21 years in Circa 1806/8 old to abt 25 years old 1812/13 being a man. On assumption now you have found a definite possibility that the  lost Presbyterian records 1707 to 1796- George could have been in those birth records circa 1784-1788 as you stated earlier, therefore is it possible George Hood d 1845 could be mentioned as a man 1806 to 1812 in any other Presbyterian records

(and Mark- its very impressive the way you have found Quaker records - so are there any other related Presbyterian records say 1806-1812 local to Selby you can find that may mention George in them as a man full age or even John Hood buried 1819 likely same man as husband John Hood, mariner, of Jane Hood burial 1803)

Hi

The signature of Wm Hood on the marriage of Richard Borthwick looks like it could possibly be WOOD. Will add it to post when I get on my laptop, but will search for a marriage for comparison.

Well, I've enlarged the image, and I'm not sure now. there is a definite difference in how the letter 'W' was formed in Wm, and in the surname. I've left a red mark where I believe the letter began

Looks nearer Wm Wood, than Wm Hood.

Thank you dobfarm

What I did notice, were that the relations of George Cooke of Selby, carried the SELBY Surname. Fn.54
54. Selby Peculiar Court 1682

Reference to the large Tannery in Gowthorpe and William Todd (died 1743), recorded with 191 skins, 2 Tubs of hides and "30 hides in the Owze", [Ouse / Ouze] that is some Tannery!

17th Century (too early), but an Abraham Gibson was a Cooper, of Cawood.

Claire has spotted an 1811 Census for SNAITH in the CLARK & Co Solicitors documents at East Riding Archives.

Also some interesting information here about surviving PRE - 1841 Census here.

Added: Upon reflection, I feel this Cooke (with Selby relations) will be going back 100 years too far and even further back.


Selby of Selby
On his tomb, Selby claimed to have ‘sprung from the ancient and illustrious family of the Selbys of Selby in the county of York’. His family’s connections with Newcastle began in around 1500 with William Selby, who served as sheriff. William’s son became an alderman, while his grandson served as mayor, and subsequently MP for the town in 1572. The family also claimed kinship with Odinel Selby†, who arrived in Berwick-upon-Tweed under Henry VIII, and whose descendants settled at Twizell, Branxton and other nearby manors.14

This sounds quite interesting

It would seem that Selby had an Endowed School (formed in 1716) that was run by the trustees of the Independent Chapel

Thank you Claire

There was provision by the Independents to provide Schooling according to Roger A Bellingham's PhD Thesis (online) of Leicester University, on Selby and several other towns. Only Selby out of those towns the author featured was also Nonconformist, he mentions this was noted in 1743, information likely from the report made by Archbishop Herring's Visitation returns 1743.

He also cites some later Public Record Office (TNA) Home Office files, so the government looks to have been collecting information on Selby Nonconformism.

Selby of old, was one of the few places where the majority could sign their own name. An indication of teaching by the Non-conformists, Quakers and as dobfarm points out the Parish and Charities (in the link).

There you are Goughy you bright sparks! 


Thanks dobfarm,

Another interesting find, you found dobfarm! Barlby (Post Town Selby) under the Parish of Hemingborough.

Also Others (and expect there are possibly more).

Wistow, All Saints (Post Town Selby), page 83.
Archbishop Mountayn's Charity. Rent of 13 acres of land, for apprenticing poor boys.
Robert Shaw's Charity, by Will dated 29th December 1719.
Rent-charge 5l. per annum, to a Schoolmaster, for teaching 10 poor boys to read and write.

Selby St Mary and St German, pages 74 & 75
Blue-coat Charity. Rent of 8 acres of land, for clothing and instructing poor boys.
Joshua Rayner's charity, by Will dated 28th February 1710. Rent of 9A.0R. 38P. of land to a Schoolmaster, for teaching 6 poor boys to read and write. Eleven boys are now taught, and also clothed once in two years.

Noticed, The Parish of Selby is partly within the liberty of St. Peter of York.
