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

[BushInn1746]

Could be Burn in Brayton parish, someone added the s or a swirl on the 'N' in Burn^-

Thank you.

I've seen lots of handwritten words, that look like they have an 's' on the end, where the writer's hand runs on after the last letter, which don't normally have a letter s.

The typist making the Probate copy just sees Burns, for Burn.

What was the painting image of- cows in fields - village with hills around it - long scape with  flat lands with houses - a lake  etc

Edwin Casson Hood (born Selby 1857), who died 1942, aged 84, District of Belper, referred to "the oil painting of Burns", so not in our line and I have never seen it.

Just before WW 1 Edwin Casson Hood and Mary Hood (nee Ediss, married 1910) were with the Shore and Ediss family members, at Heage Hall, Belper, Derbyshire.


Heage Hall was haunted, according to the writings of Thomas Shore of the mid 19th Century, (before Edwin C Hood lived there).


"Heage Hall, perhaps the oldest dwelling in the area and the former home of the Argiles, Shores and most famously, the Poles." Tom Bates.

Don't know about haunted Hall, but seems only way to solve this puzzle is to take a Ouija Board to Selby Quaker burial ground and too speak direct to the horses mouth.    LOL!!

Thanks Mark - re the probate records 

I hadn't seen the newspaper articles regarding his father Mowbray Hood, after Mowbray Hood died in 1846 his mother went on to marry a William Wrate ( after 1851 census) .

William Mowbray Hood is with her parents in St Edmunds Sutton, Lincolnshire in 1861 - then nothing.

His Grandfather George Castle died in Parson Drove - have seen the probate record, had hoped William M H name would appear on it but no. Grandmother Susannah Castle - not sure where she died either.

Hi

Thank you for replies.

I have the Richard Pearson of Selby Will 1724 and Pearson had property in the Kingdom of Ireland and Selby Yorkshire.

Pearson's Indenture describes a Capital Dwelling House by the sounds of it, at Selby, abutting on the Church Dam (and the House of Francis Walmesley Esq., called the Suger House), with Barn, Stable, Malt Kiln, Horse Mill, Garth Garden or Orchard with rights to the Commons, common of pasture, ways, water courses, profitts, commodities [sic] ...

 --------

I believe the Cook and Pearson surname is linked with Scotland and Ireland too?

 --------

But Alfred is a very Medieval English / Anglo-Saxon name.

 --------

"The name Burns in Ireland is usually of immigrant origin having been brought to the country by settlers from Scotland, especially during the seventeenth century."

 --------

It leaves me with the suspicion that George Hood (marr Selby 1815) might be Scottish, or Scottish via Ireland, at some point.

But surname Alfred might suggest otherwise.

 --------

I have ordered 6 more Probate wills from the other Hood lines (plus 3 more found in my line prior to 1928), to see if they mention anything, or add any flesh to that, which is only known currently in brief.

I need to flush out the surnames; also "painting of Burns"; the mystery Winifred Hood and a group of three initials "W M H" on sugar tongs in 1942, which mean absolutely nothing in their current raw form.

It seems extremely difficult trying to link an unknown Hood, so I'm trying known Hoods in all the lines from George, for clues.
