Hello
I was wondering what happened to John Cook after 1812 at Knottingley & then Francis/Frances Crowder after 1813 at Knottingley (who seem to disappear as Occupiers to the George Wilkinson property)?
Did they die at Knottingley, if so, their ages and when, please?
Also when this George Wilkinson of Knottingley, died / buried?
Crowder of Pontefract & Brotherton near Ferrybridge
Discovered quite some information on the Crowder family, who were Bankers at nearby Pontefract - Crowder, Perfect, Hotham, and Hardcastle and also dealing with Bankruptcy.
John Crowder was Deputy Receiver of Rents and Revenue of H. M. in Right of His Duchy of Lancaster for the counties of York & Nottingham. Also property agent and working with a Mr Bower.
John Crowder, Esq., resided at Brotherton near Ferrybridge (immediately North of Knottingley) and his address is also given as Brotherton Castle.
Thanks Mark
-
Were John Cook and Frances Crowder a couple ? Or are those years when they were born ?
Apologies if you're going over old ground
-
Hello Claire
No not a couple as far as I know, this is totally new relating to Knottingley.
Reason for my interest is a Francis/Frances Crowder and Geo Hood in 1813 appear as Occupiers in the Knottingley Land Tax for only 1 year (extract featured - 2nd image), after an unknown James Knowles and John Cook in 1812 (also featured - 1st image).
In 1814, Occupiers Frances Crowder and Geo Hood also disappear.
Wondering if John Cook has died (although no suggestion of Executors) and Crowder / Hood are there to deal with matters, or perhaps deal with a business at the premises.
In 1814 George Wilkinson has completely new Occupiers (not featured).
Regards Mark
-
Doh!! never moved the bar to see the rest of the image. ;D
-
I can only see two burials at the minute for a Frances CROWDER, the second can be ruled out, too young.
Frances Crowder buried 7 Jan 1844 Hull, Holy Trinity, Yorkshire, aged 77 years bn c1767, abode Myton ?
the other
Frances CRowder born 1801 died 1875 Hull. ( From BMD index, no burial given)
-
Hi Claire and All
Thanks, I have re-hashed the questions a little.
It seems a John Cook has been at Knottingley for several years and then in 1813 Geo Hood replaces him (along with a Frances or Francis Crowder) for one year.
In 1814 they are gone too.
Regards Mark

Oooh!! There is a FANNY CROWDER ( widow) buried in Knottingley 2 April 1828 aged 73 years
-
Looks like John Crowder Esq. died c1838, left a fairly lengthy Will. Looks like he married into a wealthy family, the Pulleyns ~ I've been working on this family with someone else, small world.

There is a marriage for a John Cook who married a Charlotte Hargrave 1 December 1806 St Bottolph, Knottingley.
Can't see any children for them in Knottingley
Can't see anything for them at all :-\

Thanks Mark :) That's definitely them
Another John Crowder Will dated 1817 mentions John Bower, sons John, William and Thomas
EDIT: NOT SURE HOW OR IF FRANCES CROWDER KENT is related her brother was a Rev. George Davies Kent, another lengthy Will.

We posted together, have you seen my edit (last post) might be helpful to your other research?
Crowder joined up with three other Bankers at nearby Pontefract.
Pontefract is now on the HOOD radar, because I found this reference under Selby Abbey ...
Selby Abbey
Court of Honour of Pontefract to Constable of Brayton Holding of Court for Wapentake of Barkstone Ash 3 April 1798
The peculiar court came to exercise jurisdiction over Selby, Brayton, Barlow, Burn, Gateforth, Hambleton and Thorpe Willoughby.
The Honourable E R Petre, with M Mitton as his Steward [1816 to 1843 Edward Robert Petre]
Records of the Hon. E. R. Petre and the Manor of Selby Court indicate the Manor of Selby Court exercised control over the:-
Manor of Selby
Manor of Brayton
Manor of Thorpe Willoughby
Manor of Monk Fryston
Manor of Hambleton and
Manor of Hillam
Seems that claiming to the Selby Peculiar Court, that you were from the Jurisdiction of Selby in 1815, when you married, meant a huge area.
Regards Mark
Edit Wells Hood, born Dunnington, a Wine Merchant of Stamford Bridge and York, married a Bower I think.
-
Wells Hood indeed married a Miss Bower by licence (dated 31 Jan 1821) marriage 7 Feb 1821. Licence says Mary, marriage says Ann.
Childrens baptisms mother Ann, Non Conformist baptisms too
Thanks for the clip, I'm helping someone with a family in York that married into the Pulleyns in the late 1600's. Haven't traced them forwards yet, but they were quite a well known family in the area.

Think FRANCES Crowder can be ruled out, unless her husband was a FRANCIS.
FRANCIS Crowder appears in the Land Tax records for Knottingley 1809+ in property owned by Charles Searby,
so a man we are looking for :-\

Hello Claire
Thank you. Your 1809+ is before my 1813 Frances Crowder reference?

A George Hood was also an Occupier with Frances Crowder at Knottingley in 1813 (Land Tax, see first post on this thread).
According to a web-page on the Knottingley Brewery (link below), Mr Perfect must have jumped ship from Bankers Perfect, Seaton & Co., to the other Bank (mentioned in quote above) involving Crowder.
Carter of Potters Grange, near Howden, was involved in The Knottingley Brewery around the turn of the 19th Century.
http://www.knottingley.org/history/spencer/carters_knottingley_brewery_vol1_01.htm
It seems George Hood and William Hood of Selby, Brewers also held properties at Ousegate, Selby as Trustees. Hannah Carter Clark of Howden in the said County of York only child and Heiress at Law of John Clark late of Potter Grange in the Township of Armin and County of York Farmer deceased ...
was mentioned as one of the parties in the transfer of Shops, Houses and properties in Ousegate, Selby, to James Collinson.
The Ousegate, Selby, properties were later ordered to be sold by Trustee William Hood of Selby in 1864, after the death of James Collinson.
I can't help, but feel, that my George Hood of Selby is the same George Hood at Knottingley.
At Pontefract, Mr Pearson, Solicitor, married Miss Mitton, only daughter of Richard Mitton Esq. all of that place. Hull Packet, 12th May 1818.
George Hood of Selby acquired one of his Malt-kilns from Henry Mitton, Maltster of Snaith. One of the sons of James Hood, carried the middle name of Pearson.
I am going to look at these property Registration copies again and see, if there was more than just a business connection anywhere.
Regards Mark

Thanks Goughy
Oh that is interesting.
Mr Matthew Pearson, Solicitor in Selby who married Sarah Ann Mitton, was born Rotherham.
Also Mary Eadon (alias Eaden) who married Henry Mitton, brewer of Snaith, was of Kellington.
George Hood of Selby took over the Malt-kiln of Henry Mitton, Maltster of Snaith.
One of the sons of James Hood, carried the middle name of Pearson.

A Mr Hood visited Samuel Hirst of Kellington in 1833 and George Hood sold a hunting horse, according to Samuel Hirst's Diary of 1833.

Chester Newby, Miller, who was George Hood's Bondsman in 1815, was born Whitley, Kellington in 1790.
Also George Hood making his Marriage Bond to Robert Sinclair M.A., of the Selby Peculiar Court.

Regarding Mitton and Eadon ...
Whitehall, January 1, 1836.
The King has been pleased to grant unto Henry Mitton, of Snaith, in the county of York, Gent. son of Henry Mitton, late of Snaith aforesaid, Gent. deceased, by Mary his wife, sister of Thomas Eadon, of Selby, in the county of York, Attorney at Law, also deceased, His royal licence and permission, that he and his issue may, in compliance with a condition contained in the codicil to the last will and testament of his maternal uncle, the said Thomas Eadon, henceforth take and use the surname of Eadon, instead of that of Mitton, and, further to evince his grateful and affectionate respect to the memory of his said maternal uncle, also bear the arms of Eadon; such arms being first duly exemplified according to the laws of arms, and recorded in the Heralds' Office, otherwise the said royal licence and permission to be void and of none effect:
And also to command, that the said royal concession and declaration be registered in His Majesty's College of Arms.

Clarkson to Hood
George Hood has taken over the Selby Malt-kiln of Henry Mitton of Snaith according to the 1833 Deed Registration copy, which also shows George Hood acquiring this Malt-kiln from John Clarkson of Newport, in the Parish of Eastrington, Farmer.
Also confirms that George Hood, was occupying adjacent premises of the Hon. Edward Petrie.
Trouble is with these Deed Registrations, they don't say whether property was purchased, bequeathed, or passed in some other way.
Regards Mark
-
Got Thomas Eadon's Will, but any Henry Mitton of Snaith, Wills available please?
There was also a William Mitton late of Selby, now of Stamford, Lincolnshire, Gent., mentioned in another property transfer.
EDIT: Early 18th Century, Pearson at Selby owned property in Ireland.
Regards Mark
-
No Will on line for Henry Mitton - just Probate Index.
William Mitton of Stamford was the son of Henry Mitton. He died 1 January 1866. Exec of his will were Edward Elsdale Clark of Snaith, Thomas Shearburn of Snaith, and William Eadon of Whitley
-
Thanks Goughy
Looks like Carter of Knottingley was related, or linked by marriages to the Clark, Mitton, Eadon and Pearson, this would at least explain most of the parties involved, in one of these George Hood property acquisitions.
There might be a more important Selby development, which I'll post on the appropriate thread.

... and Geo Hood in 1813 appear as Occupiers in the Knottingley Land Tax for only 1 year ...
In 1814, Occupiers Frances Crowder and Geo Hood also disappear.
Robert HOOD an illegitimate Son of Hannah HOOD, Spinster, baptised 14 February 1813 at Knottingley.
20 August 1838 Robert HOOD of Knottingley married Ann HIRST of Hillam, at Monk Fryston.
(Robert Hood and Ann Hood appear in the 1841; 1851; 1871 Census, with Ann Hood as a Widow in the 1881 Knottingley Census. Ann born Fryston and Monk Fryston).
Ann Hurst was baptised 17 April 1807 at Monk Fryston.
Hannah Hood died in 1842 as a Single Woman, aged 63 years, so born about 1779.
Probably can't prove this online? But I'm wondering if Hannah Hood, was related to my George Hood and the illegitimate birth of Robert Hood had took George to Knottingley, when a 'Geo Hood' appears in the annual Knottingley Land Tax in March 1813.
Wonder if there is any QS payment order for child Robert Hood?

1. Wondering if Robert Hood's wife Ann Hirst links to Joseph G[oulton] Hirst, whose wife Emma Hirst born Ledsham appears in the 1891 Census as a visitor in the home of Charles Hood, born Selby?
---------------
According to the ten year earlier 1881 Census at Castleford:-
30 Beancroft Street
Joseph G Hirst, Head, Marr, 26, Stone Mason, born Haitshead, Yorkshire.
Emma Hirst, Wife, Marr, 27, Stone Mason Wife, born Ledsham, Yorkshire.
Amy Hirst, Daur, 3 years, Scholar, born Castleford, Yorkshire.
Oliver Hirst, Son, 6 Mts, born Castleford, Yorkshire.
Can't find the family in 1891.
An Emma Hirst, marr, born Ledsham, Yorkshire, appears as a visitor at 58 Lumly St. Whitwood, home of Charles Hood, aged 30, Railway Signalman, born Selby. Although Emma Hirst's age looks to be 57, instead of 37.
In 1901 Census, 108 Albion Street, Castleford
Joseph Hirst, Head, M, 46, Platelayer (Railway), Worker, born Yorks, Hartshead - cum - Clayton.
Emma Hirst, Wife, M, 47, born Yorks, Ledsham.
Amy Hirst, Daur, S, 23, Certified School Teacher, Worker, born Yorks, Castleford.
Oliver Hirst, Son, S, 20, Bricklayer, Worker, born Yorks, Castleford.
2. Wondering if anything else can be dug up, on the Joseph Goulton Hirst, (born Hartshead cum Clayton per Census)?
Golton / Goulton was witness at Richard Gibson's wedding and also had links to Russell (Hood)?

My father was quite adamant a while back that where our family line comes to a dead end, it would be impossible to get back.
George Hood's Quaker burial too, as Not in Membership, gives little to go on.
I am wondering if George Hood's Seal was deliberately defaced, later sanded off to conceal his identity.
I successfully purchased an original Richard Peirson of Selby Will referring to Lands of Inheritance and all his Estate in Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland, written in 1724 (Memorial registered at Wakefield 1733).
After Sarah Hood's death, her November 1879 burial was read out at the Quaker Meeting at York in mid January 1880, so I have requested a copy of this.
We are hoping that some Selby records of Lord Petre at Preston, might shed some light on G. H.
Surname Alfred linked to the George and John Hood Estates in Ireland, surnames Hood a Surgeon and Cook (George Ann Cook, Esquire of Poland Street, died 1802, but at Bath, was Daily Usher and Waiter to the present King and George II), are all linked to the Royal Household.
Managed to get another Sam'l Hood Will, proved Windsor, the sheet names the Executrix as Eliz'th Hood, but no beneficiaries names, just says Daur. Seems it was left blank when copied 210 years ago into the Register.

The Will for Samuel Hood I find interesting, Samuel Hood died in Netherbury Dorset in 1805 aged 90.
Birth c1715
Samuel Hood bapt. 14 Aug 1715 Netherbury, son of Alexander Hood ( this guy had lots of children in Netherbury)
The only marriage for a Samuel H is in Netherbury on 12 Feb 1750 to an Ann BEER.
POSSIBLY the family were in Mosterton until 1763, there are children born there - father Samuel
ELIZABETH 18 Mar 1752, Alexander bpt. 27 Apr 1758, Arthur bpt. 13 Jan 1754, Ann bpt. 22 Mar 1756. And a Samuel bpt. in Netherbury 25 May 1763.
Did we ever find the rogue George Hood born to Hope H in Dorset ?
Another Hood at the Palace :)
-
Depending how old Miss/Mrs Hood of Buckingham Places was at death, maybe she got in the family way illegitimately by a royal household member circa 1786, and named her child George after the fathers name. Thus George when he gets older tries to cover up records of his origins so he can live a normal life. ::)

Hello
Claire, that is another Miss/Mrs Hood dying 1797 and not the Hood/s I found serving Queen Caroline at Brandenburg House.
Brandenburg House
https://lbhflibraries.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/queen-caroline-in-fulham/
However, I am beginning to wonder if there is something questionable over my unknown family descent.
George Hood and Sarah Russell married by Licence, making an Allegation and Bond in May 1815 and their Wedding was two months later. A Marriage Alleg./Bond was valid for three months, so the delay in itself, may not be unusual.
Mark
-
I rather feel that George's birth and burial is more questionable. No Anglican baptism that anyone has found - baptises children in a CofE church - and buried by Quakers along with members of his family.
He wasn't a member of the Quakers ???
But, as you say Sarah Russels background maybe open to scrutiny also.
-
Only one burial that I can see in London, right time - a youngish woman too.
Elizabeth HOOD buried 14th November 1797 at Westminster: St John the Evangelist at Smith Square
Additional info: 31 years old. Residence: Little George Street
An 'M' after her surname - presuming it means Miss, others have Mrs.

Mary Russell must have married a Burton.

With Sarah Russel baptizing her children C of E by sound of her family were well knitted into the parish and by all account Sarah was trained in the art of straw hat making in an established business.
George Hood by records known so far of his origins seem not of Selby but of Yorkshire by the 1841 census, he met and married this local Anglican establish family woman of the town in 1815, who he married by licence, when it is known George had lived in the parish at least 3 years from 1812 who could have married by reading of the banns and there must have been reasons why not.
In later life some of his children were connected to the Quaker religion and married Quaker spouses, who one Jane Casson Hood could have been a strong influence of Sarah Hood (Russel) in her old age being the reason she was buried 1879 in a Quaker burial ground where she died and time wise would fit as a 34 years a widow life intermixed with her Quaker daughter in law also a widow over circa 17 years. This scenario seems convincing till its been found George Hood was originally buried in the same Quaker Selby burial ground in 1845 some 35 years earlier obvious not a practicing Quaker as 30 years of marriage to an Anglican wife being a family man with children. George's own religion before marriage as father of Anglican children is up for serious thought and his Quaker none practicing Quaker burial 1845.
No record of George's origins of a baptism is known but we do know in the 18th century Quaker births were not always recorded in book register form but in notes of friends meeting house gatherings and it is also known from Quaker marriages Quakers must have traveled vast distances where a grooms and brides came from different parts of the country in many cases.
Could this be the case of a mixed Anglican and Quaker marriage also.
Could George have been a journeyman Quaker cooper with business knowledge or backing of from his Quaker upbringing but tantalizing (riding) his deep religious views or beliefs between Quaker and Anglican of maybe his parents of mixed religion beliefs also..
-
Thank you.
Unless, I'm lucky to drop on an early Will, which mentions a Hood of Selby, to get an inroad into the wider family, or these other Manor of Selby docs at Preston, tell me his origin, I think I'm about stuck.
I've got a list of about 70-80 Hood Yorkshire Wills, quite a few seen and notes already made, a few supplied and I'm going to keep ordering two at time now, until the Hood, Yorkshire Will list is exhausted.
I have linked one Hood family 1780's at Scarborough, West to the Malton area.
Two Yorkshire Hood families seem to have links to Yorkshire Carr and Garbutt surnames.
Wells Hood and Richard Hood of Catwick are linked. The business of Wells Hood, wine and spirit merchants of York got taken over by a London company.
By the time of William Hood's death 1870, they seemed to have finished Brewing at Selby, but I notice a Marshall brewer and Sarah Hood nee Richarson has died at the Marshall's residence, occupation Independent, own means, at Holme on Spalding Moor and taken to Selby Cemetery to be buried with the late John Hood (Tanner), their infant child and a Richardson.
I have found her death address, later in the newspaper being sold as an Inn, with land and outbuildings at Holme on Spalding Moor.
Seems many Hoods favoured brewing and mine were into the leather industry too.
Incidentally, I typed into Google, Procter and Selby and it took me to one of the Directors (details hidden) of the multi-national Procter and Gamble company. Some of their Directors are old, one over a 100.
I recall as a boy the success of Procter and Gamble, being discussed at the dinner table between my Grandparents. Gamble came from Ireland and linked up with a Procter and formed what turned out to be a most successful soap and cleaning products company.
The male Hoods tended to die young and their Widows sold up and lived on the proceeds. We don't tend to chase it, as business can take up family time. Contentment and trying to keep my health as stable as possible is an aim. This family stuff, is a hobby and local history an interest.

A few questions
We know Sarah Russels parents were William Russel and Mary Burton.
If your Mary Russel ( nee Burton) married Thomas Goldsbrough in 1805 - why was she 'of the parish of Sculcoates' ?
Why were Maudland Hood and Charles Turner in Sculcoates ?
By 1805 George H would be around 20 years of age - could this be when he first met the Russel family ?
Dobfarm yours is a good post regarding the Quaker angle.
What if George received a Quaker upbringing ? Schooled by Quakers, apprenticed by Quakers - where could he do this in Yorkshire ?
Could he have been resident at the Ackworth School - it could account for not being able to track him at all.
Loses his Quaker ways when he meets Sarah Russel and the rest is history.
Just thoughts :-\

In November 1802 when William Russell's son William Jnr was buried Parish records give "son of Wm Russell of Hull Sailor". So could be the family moved to Hull for William's job as a Sailor?

Crowder of Pontefract & Brotherton near Ferrybridge
Discovered quite some information on the Crowder family, who were Bankers at nearby Pontefract - Crowder, Perfect, Hotham, and Hardcastle and also dealing with Bankruptcy.
John Crowder was Deputy Receiver of Rents and Revenue of H. M. in Right of His Duchy of Lancaster for the counties of York & Nottingham. Also property agent and working with a Mr Bower.
John Crowder, Esq., resided at Brotherton near Ferrybridge (immediately North of Knottingley) and his address is also given as Brotherton Castle.
Hello
Back in Knottingley near Ferrybridge (and not far away from Pontefract) in March 1813 Geo HOOD and Frances CROWDER were occupying a property for one year.
In September 1810 the following Banking Houses stopped payment ...
Seaton, Sons, and Foster, of PONTEFRACT;
Seaton, Foster, and Co. of SELBY;
Seaton, Brooke, and Co. of Huddersfield.
John Foster and Thomas Foster of Selby, Merchants, had dissolved in 1810, per Lon. Gaz. 10th November 1810
A letter was written in 1833 by John Foster, Banker, in which John Foster claimed William Procter of Selby was also a Banker. Other Notices confirm Wm Procter of Selby was a Merchant (besides a Flax Dresser).
According to items discovered a 'Merchant ' must also have been involved in Banking.
In March 1813, the Meetings of the Creditors are to begin in April at Ferrybridge, for the late firm of John Seaton, Sons and Thomas Foster of Selby, Bankrupts, heretofore carrying on a Trade as Bankers.
Later in July 1813 there was a Meeting in Pontefract and the Dividend of John Seaton, Sons, and Foster, would be paid by the Bank of Messrs Crowder, Perfect and Co. of Pontefract.
I need to do more research, but believe George HOOD, might have some link to the Bank and this might explain his temporary lodging with Frances CROWDER for only one year to deal with the business and or Meetings (there was no fast train in 1813 from Selby to Ferrybridge and Pontefract), so having a place where George HOOD could stay and operate from would be useful.
Fortunately, some individuals (except Hood and Procter) were in Court, so some case material, to see if George Hood, was mentioned.
The first Seven of the Ten results appear to relate to the Bank

Thanks Goughy
Oh that is interesting.
Mr Matthew Pearson, Solicitor in Selby who married Sarah Ann Mitton, was born Rotherham.
Also Mary Eadon (alias Eaden) who married Henry Mitton, brewer of Snaith, was of Kellington.
George Hood of Selby took over the Malt-kiln of Henry Mitton, Maltster of Snaith.
One of the sons of James Hood, carried the middle name of Pearson.
---------------
A Mr Hood visited Samuel Hirst of Kellington in 1833 and George Hood sold a hunting horse, according to Samuel Hirst's Diary of 1833.
---------------
Chester Newby, Miller, who was George Hood's Bondsman in 1815, was born Whitley, Kellington in 1790.

Clarkson to Hood
George Hood has taken over the Selby Malt-kiln of Henry Mitton of Snaith according to the 1833 Deed Registration copy, which also shows George Hood acquiring this Malt-kiln from John Clarkson of Newport, in the Parish of Eastrington, Farmer.
Also confirms that George Hood, was occupying adjacent premises of the Hon. Edward Petrie.
Trouble is with these Deed Registrations, they don't say whether property was purchased, bequeathed, or passed in some other way.

Hello
Regarding my Reply #43 (previous page), I have found some additional information relating to Samuel HOOD, a Seaman mentioned in the Will of Ann HOOD, 1799, Kingston upon Hull.
Mordland TURNER (alias Morland Turner) nee Maudland HOOD of Selby (bapt Scarborough) was having children baptised at Hull 1797 & 1799.
The surname GARBUTT also has some links (by Marriage) to other familiar surnames, come across in my George HOOD research and Ann HOOD, late of Morton, Lincolnshire was apparently residing at Hull in 1799.
Hull Packet, 15th July 1800
SAMUEL HOOD, a Seaman, wanted.
If SAMUEL HOOD, Son of MICHAEL
HOOD, late of Morton, near Gainsborough, in
Lincolnshire, be living, and will apply to Mr GARBUTT,
Woollendraper, in Lowgate, Hull, he may
receive 300l, left by the late Mrs. Ann Hood,
his Mother-in-Law, to himself or his heirs:-The
said Samuel Hood is or was by profession a seaman;
if living, is about 64 years of age; supposed to sail out
of London, but it is not known on what service or
station, as he has not been heard of for some years.
-If dead, any Person or Persons coming forward and
proving his death, and a legal claim as his heir or
heirs, will be entitled to the above property.

Added in this quote: Henry MITTON & Eliza MITTON (nee Shillito) became Henry EADON Esq. (d.1861, aged 71) & Eliza EADON of Snaith, due to the Grant of the 'Arms of Eadon'.
Francis EADON of Whitley in 1826, Whitley was where George HOOD's 1815 marriage Bondsman Chester Newby was born in 1790.

On the 17th inst., at his residence, Beverley Road, Hull, aged 84 years, Mr. John CLARKSON, formerly of Newport, Yorkshire, father of Mrs. S. A. Garbutt, of this town. He had been an uniformly consistent and attached member of the Wesleyan Society for upwards of half a century.
However, in 1871 Edward BOYER lived at Bayfield, Stamford Road, BOWDON (Altrincham Street Directory), see also 1871 Census. Anne BOYER [nee Anne CLARKSON] died Feb 1871 aged 57 years.
BOWDON was where my George HOOD and William HOOD (both late of Selby) were also living 1871.
Very interesting that in 1871, Edward BOYER who was of Hathern, Leicester, Leicestershire, and Leicester was where my 2 X Gt Grandfather George HOOD lived in the 1870s decade?
Yorks Gazette, 18 May 1844
The witness on the 1833 George Hood of Selby, Deed copy was Robert Staniland, Joiner, who married Miss Martha Jackson at Selby and both of that place, had been living together under the same roof upwards of 25 years and had a combined age of upwards of 120 years.
I think this research in the newspapers has some more mileage yet, due to various place links with my HOODs and that another Mary Ann STEPHENSON, to the Mary Anne STEPHENSON witness in the BOYER marriage, marries Robt Railton GRUBB, linking back to Maudland HOOD of Scarborough and Selby (who became a TURNER at her 1794 Selby marriage)?

Hello
Well the elusive George Hood has done it again!
This Deed Memorial has missed off the all important Act of Parliament title or Act date, so I don't know if this was a standard registration under the Act regarding registering all Deeds after 1708 at Wakefield (none of the other registrations sent, start with this reference to an Act), or one that might be inrolled at one of the Royal Courts at Westminster or in a County Court.
It does not confirm any clue.

1832 Selby Land Tax
Owner Occupier
p.10 Geo HOOD, FAWCETT John, House [probably one of Hood's Houses in Gowthorpe, Selby]
p.14 Lord PETRE, HOOD George, House [Wren Lane, Selby, Reg'd to HOOD in 1836 (late Rich'd Gibson's) ]
p.14 Geo HOOD, HOOD George, Maltkiln [if this was ex Clarkson's then Hood is already Proprietor?]
p.20 Geo HOOD, NUTT Richard, House [Gowthorpe. Reg'd to HOOD 1831, one house divided into three]
p.20 Geo HOOD, OLIVER George, House [likely the third house of Hood's in Gowthorpe, Selby]
Unfortunately, I don't have any Clarkson - Owner, nor any Henry Mitton - Occupier pages printed off (if any in 1832), as I was not looking for them, about two years ago.
But it seems that George HOOD might already own one Wren Lane property in 1832, or was not subject to Land Tax and excluded in the Land Tax, or some other unknown or spurious reason, possibly forcing Hood to register Clarkson's ex property in 1833, due to an Act of Parliament?
George Hood owned at least two properties and a Yard in Wren Lane, Selby. One property formerly owned by John Clarkson of Newport, Eastrington and the other Wren Lane property formerly owned by the Lord of the Manor, Hon. Edward Robert Petre of Stapleton Park, Yorkshire and the Earl of Surrey Hon. Henry Charles Howard.
I'll keep digging away at this Clarkson owned property, as it may, or may not be important to discovering new information about George Hood?
I've got a load of stuff on HOOD of Selby, but several items, unfortunately leave me with unanswered questions.

Hello
Been thinking of that 'George Hood' appearing in the 1813 Knottingley Land Tax and then saw again Robert Hood the illegitimate Son of Hannah Hood being baptised the same year and place.
Then thought, what if George Hood (in 1813 at Knottingley), was renting somewhere for Hannah Hood, short term to have her child.
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=758380.msg6233710#msg6233710
That George Hood didn't have to live there to be responsible for paying the Rent/Land Tax, he just had to rent the property for some reason (currently unconfirmed).
Robert Hood went on to marry Ann Hirst (and there was a Hirst in the house of Charles Hood of Selby in the 1891 Census), although I seem to think that a direct link couldn't be found, between the two Hirsts.
Seems the same Hannah Hood died, aged 63 yrs in 1842, buried as a "Single woman", so I have ordered her Death Certificate, just to see who was present at her death.
----------
The Proprietor of the property was George Wilkinson in 1813 and the Directory of 1822 says George Wilkinson, Racca Green.
Racca Green, Knottingley, is a road which goes down to the Canal and that Canal joins to the River Aire in two places at Knottingley.
The Canal from the River Aire at Knottingley (the other way) goes roughly East through Great Heck, Pollington, Rawcliffe and links to the River Ouse at Goole.
----------
There was a John Hood marrying Sarah Thompson (info scant on marriage image) and this couple appear at first look to be the parents of Hannah Hood.
I'll let you know if Hannah Hood's Death Certificate reveals anything of interest.
