Title: Parish Records Dumfriesshire
Post by: Tessie2 on Monday 27 February 06 21:29 GMT (UK)
I am looking for the birth/baptism of James Goldie Hood abt 1806 in Dumfries. I have found him on the 1851 Census living in Sculcoates Yorkshire working as a Brewer & Malster. Does anyone know of this family.
Thanking you
Veronica :) :)

 :) :)Dear Kev,
Thanks for your early reply. I am unsure if this is the correct one. I did try the LDS Site and it gave me the following three choldren with a Father Thomas Hood. Andrew Goldie bapt 1841 South Cave, Thomas Robert bapt 1837 & Frederic bapt 1838. Are there anymore children born to the Thomas that you have?
Thanks
Veronica

Hello Kew,
Thanks for your contact. I am unsure if these are in the same family but I will search further in Yorkshire to see if any of them went there. It is James Goldie Hood born abt 1806 Dunfries that I am still looking for, are there any other Hood families in Dumfries? Is it quite a common name up there? Also are there any Goldie`s? I wonder if this was a family name carried down? I really do appreciate your help,
Cheerio,
Veronica :)
