Father Jakeq & Mother Ann Hood

I read that as Jabez Hood, who I believe has been covered on other posts.  What do others think?   

Also cant find any further trace of my Jacob from 1851 & wondering if the surname is actually Wood 

[..claire..]

I can't even find Margaret Cairns yet

I have to agree, I think it does look rather like Jabez.

Rather ironic there's a Gibson baptism right beneath it

Jake could be Jacob.

Added: Just looking at the 1851 census, and this could be interesting:

Garth Heads, All Saints, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
Margaret Cairns Head W Female 69 born Benton, Northumberland
Henry Cairns Son Unmarried Male 32 Brewery Agent born Mitford, Northumberland, 
Jacob Hood Nephew Unmarried Male 27 Brewery Traveller born Monkwearmouth

I was looking through some Hood & Cook Navy records earlier and I'm sure I came across one born Mitford.  Will need to go back over.

Hi All

Thanks for replies.

Yes, Jake can be Jacob.

It is only typed twice as "Jake Hood".

Jake Hood, Murdered in U.S.A.?
South Wales Echo, 2nd September 1886

5,000 Dollars Reward.

Jake Hood killed at a place they called "Nugget Gulch" referring to mining "yellow metal" [gold?], seems to be, being told as a type of story, so can't make out if real, or not? They are after a chap called Devries for murder, but he hears of their proposed attempt to apprehend him and kills Jake Hood in his tent.

Old Wills and Family Papers in my Possession
The Will Copy of Jane Hood of Brayton near Selby, written in 1893, proved 1894 confirms she has shares in the Pennsylvanian Railway, so possibly a USA connection?

I've wondered why Jane Hood, nee Casson (the Widow of William Hood of Selby) had these shares in an American Railway Company.

I wonder if this newspaper story, is a report (in American gung-ho fashion) of the circumstances surrounding Jake Hood's death?

Newspaper article here ... 
https://newspapers.library.in.gov/cgi-bin/indiana?a=d&d=GB18870707-01.1.2

When the newspaper window opens look for and press + sign in corner of window, it goes to the page and look for column titled "$5,000 Reward."

Regards Mark

Can his death be confirmed officially on any of the family history sites and does it give his, age, birthplace and parentage, please?

Cant help with that newspaper item, but could this be connected:

23 August 1885 - Warren Sunday Mirror - Warren, Pennsylvania, United States
Jake Hood, of Tyronville, Crawford County, is visiting his brother George of this place.

Unfortunately I cant find any further reference to Tyronville, but this may be his grave.  Following the links through parents it goes back to Ireland though 

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=14837105

The name Hood seems to go back a fair number of years in Pennsylvania, including several in the Quaker records.
