Would someone be able to do a lookup please for, William & Mary HOOD. I guess they were born about 1820s. They were married in 1847 Glasgow. The children I know of are Katherine J, born 1855, Margaret 1857, Alexander Jarvie 1860, Helen 1863, James Jarvie 1865 and Agnes ? were born at Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. I think there were nine children all together.
William's wife was, Mary Ireland JARVIE.
I found information that says William was the manager of Robert Wotherspoon & Co Confectioners but I think he had died before 1894 when son James Jarvie passed away.
Alexander Jarvie & James Jarvie both became medical doctors and came to NSW Australia in the early 1880s. Alexander J bought his sisters Katherine & Margaret out later on. Helen and Agnes married and had families out here too.
Thanks for any help

Hi Sandra
There are two documents, a Will and Inventory, entries dated 18 Jan 1886 on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for William Hood:
3 Cecil Place, Paisley Road, Glasgow - Manager to Robert Wotherspoon & Coy., Confectionery Manufacturers, d. 15 November 1885 at Cecil Place, aforesaid, Testate.
You can purchase and view these entries online on SP.

From what you mention, Ev, about mother Mary's use of surnames/middlenames, her Will & Testament entry on SP (not sure what type of document it may be) shows as:
Mary Hood or Jarvie otherwise Mary Ireland or Jarvie, sometime residing at 3 Cecil Place, Paisley Road, West, Glasgow, thereafter at 14 Bruntsfield Avenue, Edinburgh, d 9 Sept 1893 at Edinburgh, Testate

Oh my gosh! Thanks for all that information. I thought there may have been some older girls from the info in Alex Jarvie HOOD's will, A Mrs TASKER & Mrs BRODIE. I don't think they came out to Australia. He was very well off when he died and left a large estate. He was knighted in 1921 and went by Sir Jarvie Hood.
His sister Helen married Alexander STOBO and her son Alexander/Alastair Jarvie Hood STOBO was also a doctor. There were quite a few doctors in the family.
They 1851 census was interesting when I found them, put in William instead of Wm but when I figured that out I clicked on the next household and nextdoor is a Mrs Jane JARVIE a widow aged 53, born South Leith, Midlothian, so she could be mum, maybe. Will have to check into that further.
Thanks again, very much appreciated.
