Hello
John Hood & M. Slipper were each occupying a part of a House divided into two Tenements at Mill Gate, Selby in 1786 and John Hood later in 1802 (transcribed below).
The same House at Selby, divided into two Tenements changed owners in 1790. I am wondering if any of those Surnames named in the 1790 property transfer had any links to a HOOD please:-
Thomas EADON of Selby, Gentleman (looked at before).
William RIMINGTON of Pontefract, Yeoman.
Joseph TATE of Wistow, Yeoman.
John TODD of Selby, Tanner.
John TURNER of Selby, Tallow Chandler, Grocer, a Book Keeper a few years later.
John SPENCER of Selby, Grocer. (later a Gent.)
Morley WHARREY of Selby, Gentleman.
Jno Todd
Witnessed by Jno Dodsworth and John Myers.
-----------
ADDED
Fragmenta Genealogica, Volume 12, by Frederick Arthur Crisp, page 93, has information about Morley Wharrey, the Wharrey family of Selby; Gainsborough and a Granddaughter Jane Jowitt of Pheobe Morley dying 13th of 2nd Mo. 1848 and her remains buried at Pontefract on the 18th.
The dating arrangement in the book for this Wharrey family has adopted the Quaker system, where the names of the months are not used.
-----------
Later Transfer of Same Property
Spencer to Hembrough Indenture of Lease and Release 8 & 9th Days of October 1802.
Between John Spencer of Selby in the County of York Gentleman of the one part and Thomas Hembrough of the same place Yeoman of the other part ...
Concerning all that Messuage now used as two Dwelling Houses or Tenements with the Garth Garden or Orchard and other the premises thereto belonging situate lying and being Selby aforesaid in a certain Street there called Millgate and now in the Tenures or Occupations of John Hood and Robert Nicholson or their undertenants Together with all and Singular houses outhouses edifices buildings ways waters watercourses walls party walls easements profits advantages hereditaments and appurtenances whatsoever to the said Messuage Dwelling houses or Tenements and premises belonging or in any wise appertaining except the common right belonging to the said Messuage or Dwellinghouses which is now allotted to the said John Spencer and intended to be awarded to him and his Heirs ...

Hello
Thank you Claire for noticing that Joseph Tate married Mary Shippen in 1776 at Wistow. I agree John Hood's neighbour was possibly Shippen at Selby, not M. Slipper / Mrs Slipper.
Your Benjamin Johnson married Mary Shippen 1762, at Wistow example, shows how easily it could look like Slipper at a glance.
Joseph Tate of Wistow, Yeoman, was one of the parties (along with John Turner and Others, see above) involved in the same 1790 transfer of a House divided into 2 Tenements etc., at Selby, to John Spencer of Selby, Grocer.
This John Turner of Selby was a Tallow Chandler, Grocer and later a Book Keeper.

Hello All
Thank you for this dobfarm.
Claire has also just found an Arabella SLIPPER (Parents Skipwith), witnessing the marriage of William HILL & Ann WHELDRAKE a Widow at Selby in 1776.
----------
One of the Leppington's at Scarborough had a sibling.
----------
At Selby in June 1759 Elizabeth HOOD & Matthew ROW, witnessed the Marriage of Calvert TENNANT, Clerk, of Great Warley, Essex & Mrs Mary DAUNT.
Smithson TENNANT FRS was born Selby in 1761 and became a Chemist.
Discussing HOOD & ROW witnesses today we both thought simultaneously of the 1782 Will of Catherine Spencer, Wife of Scarborough, these Spencers were linked to Rowe by marriage.

Some other ROE links to TURNER and BLENKHORN ...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=756955.msg6450018#msg6450018
BLENKHORN was in Sarah HOOD's (nee RICHARDSON) ancestry.
-----------
John HOOD of Scarborough, Mariner, to Sarah HAMMOND, 1778 London Marriage Bond (Saint Giles in the Fields), Bondsman was a John ROE.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=756955.msg6449908#msg6449908
----------
Because Charles TURNER and Maudland (nee HOOD) of Selby and baptised Scarborough, had two children recorded at Sculcoates 1797 & 1799 and John HOOD of Selby, Tanner married Sculcoates in 1846, I have been looking at the HOODs of Hull and Sculcoates and surrounding area in Census and GRO (from 1837 and 1840s).
This has unearthed at least one Hood child apparently not registered.
Hood Children registered Districts of Hull & Sculcoates, but no Mother's surname.
Also possibly two families Registering as HOOD with another Maiden surname, but no marriage found.

Hi dobfarm
No other info on the marriage, can see one son John Bell born 1754 baptised 1755 then nothing.
No image that I can see for the Alnwick marriage, did you see another John Hood marriage to a Hannah Watson a few days before or after the marriage of JH to Jane Bell ? Can see no children, no burials but there is a marriage of a Jane Hood at Alnwick a few years later.
Back in Scarborough in 1774 there is an interesting marriage:
John Bell butcher married Elizabeth Danvers on the 6 November.
Both parties signed register.
Witnesses: Thomas Bell and Richard Hurd .

Hello
The John HOOD & Jane marriage (above) would be too early to be Jane HOOD of Selby buried Selby 15th August 1803, who has to be a Step Mother relationship to Maudland TURNER nee Maudland HOOD, according to the 1803 Jane HOOD burial entry and the matching information in the Selby Baptism record of Charles and Mordland TURNER's first child.

If you wish to go further with the Danvers connection, you'll find a summary of Daniel Danvers will 1746 at www.mawer.clara.net/willsA.html#danvers and all sorts of Danvers info on the database at www.mawer.clara.net/sugardd.html .
The Google books links are good, though the book is available as Print-on-Demand from Abebooks from any price from reasonable to silly.
The Danvers name is important in the sugar refining business. Along with Cleveland and Smith they took sugar refining from London to Liverpool soon after the Great Fire of London. www.mawer.clara.net/loc-westldn.html

Hello sugarbakers
Thank you, what some fantastic sites you have linked to!!
I have an original early 18th Century document with reference to a property called the Sugar House at Selby, Yorkshire.
The Richard Pearson of Selby Will 1724 indicates Pearson had property in the Kingdom of Ireland and Selby Yorkshire.
Richard Peirson's Indenture describes a Capital Dwelling House by the sounds of it, at Ousegate, Selby with Barn, Stable, Malt Kiln, Horse Mill, Garth Garden or Orchard with rights to the Commons, common of pasture, ways, water courses, profitts, commodities ... abutting on the Church Dam and the House of Francis Walmesley Esq., called the Suger House ...

Thank you, Mark. Interested as to why it was called the Suger House. Certainly no mention of sugar refining in Selby anywhere I've looked over the years, though of course no reason why not ... just an extension of the trade in Hull and Goole (but earlier !).
Seems, as you say, to be the name of the house/dwelling, which makes me wonder if there was a Walmesley connection to sugar that I've not found yet. Maybe good money was being made from an investment in a (London) refinery, or maybe there was a plantation connection perhaps through the Lancashire side of the family.
Can find nothing useful yet, but will keep looking.
Thank you.
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know why it was called the Suger house and Sugar House in the next deed, when this adjacent house changed hands again.
I am aware from 1778 newspapers and the Five Volume 1791 Universal British Directory (Volume 1) that Selby was mentioned by at least two London Wharves. One being the Gun and Shot Wharf at Southwark, with regular sailings to Selby and York.

There was refining in Hull and York at that time (c1700) so no reason there not to be in Selby, but I can't find any reference to it, nor to a working sugarhouse. Assuming your document is referring to the site for Richard Pearson's Corunna House, the house to the east of that doesn't look old enough to be the Sugar House of the Walmesley family, so lost to history.
Thank you for the ref to Selby the port, which points to Walmesley (or those who owned the house before him, maybe) trading in sugar via the Ouse.
Will keep eyes open for anything more.
Bryan
-
Hello Bryan
Where did you get Corunna House from, please?
I have read that Selby was classed by some as a Western jurisdiction under the Port of Hull.
They were obviously brewing, due to reference of a Malt Kiln.
I expect they were fermenting wines etc. too, I understand a process which requires sugar.
Mark

Hello
Thank you Bryan, I've found it and more information. (Amended).
Corunna House
"A gentlemans house of circa 1720, built for Richard Pearson. The building became a school in the 1850's and remained so for the next 70 years or so."
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1854038
What a beautiful house, it says in later documentation that the house was a Capital Messuage or Tenement. Capital in this case usually means a principal house. The house passed to Firman.
Then mid 18th Century there is a Lease Thomas Firman of Selby to James Dobson of London Gentleman.
Richard PIERSON
http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie:8080/LandedEstates/jsp/search.jsp?q=Pierson
FIRMAN
http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie:8080/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.jsp?id=3499
"(Estate) Firman - Thomas Firman of Selby, Yorkshire and of Dublin city inherited the estates of Richard Pierson. His son, John Firman, was "of Ballinderry and Arranhill, county Tipperary". John Firman's estate was valued at £600 in the mid 1770s (Kilboy Papers). John Firman's two sons were Thomas Pierson Firman of Firmount who married a Yorkshire heiress and Richard Flood Firman of Slevoir. The Firman family were related through marriage with the Smith family of Milford and the Biggs family of Castle Biggs.The representatives of Thomas P. Firman held an estate in the parishes of Borrisokane and Terryglass, barony of Lower Ormond, county Tipperary, in the mid 19th century. In May 1852 the Firmount estate, barony of Lower Ormond and the lands of Grange and Clohane, barony of Eliogarty, over 1,300 acres in total, were advertised for sale and appear to have been bought by the Hickies and Delanys. In July 1862 the estate of the administrator of William Firman,, deceased, at Muckloon "now called Firmount", 85 acres in the barony of Lower Ormond, was advertised for sale. The Irish Times reports its purchase in trust for Samuel D. Biggs."

Good Evening
I am excited about some new information this afternoon, because my late Grandmother who died 30 years ago also discussed with us as children raw sugar from cane, refining and also Tate & Lyle sugar refiners were mentioned, who I discovered formed much later. I have mentioned before the Fleur de Lis, being discussed and notice some Fleur de Lis, were linked to the Spencer name.
My other Grandfather (Mum's side) even got a Jamaican Lady, a friend of the family to bring over cylindrical sticks of sugar they sold in Jamaica and we also tasted semi liquid sugar, or a product of sugar, which I seem to recall tasted a bit like Liquorice.
I read on the Web this evening that many Masters and Mariners at Scarborough were Quakers and another John Jefferson being in prison in the 17th Century, for his Quaker beliefs.
I previously noticed the Bondsman of John Hood, Mariner of Scarborough, was John Jefferson, Mariner of Scarborough and to my shock discovered this 1734 - 1735 Fire Policy online ...
"John Jefferson, of Scarborough in the County of York Canyer hath paid the Sum of Six Shillings to the Society of the Sun Fire-Office in London ... for Insurance from Loss or Damage by Fire, on His Brick and Tile House only in Black Fryer Gate otherwise the Beast Market in Scarborough aforesaid not yet inhabited being not quite finished but intended for his own Dwelling House not exceeding Two hundred Pounds, And on His Household Goods and furniture therein only and not elsewhere not exceeding One hundred Pound"
I am almost certain that a Canyer was a Sugar Cane Merchant?
I have mentioned recently regarding both sides of the Selby, HOOD gap, that both the Hood-Turner and Hood-Russell family descendants have both married into the GRUBB family and some suggestion from a middle child's name, that these GRUBBs may be linked.
I feel the odds are stacking up in favour of John Hood of Selby, Mariner (late of Scarborough) as being a relation at least.
Thank you, Mark

The Three Fleur de Lis, are linked to some Yorkshire Spencers - Richard Spencer, Merchant, born at Leeds 1st February 1662. Buried 13th February 1690, Son of Nathaniel Spencer, (Arms in Selby Abbey).

Lovely documents, but I think the second one says Carryer. The 'r's are slightly rounded, whilst the 'n' is sharp and pointed (see County, three words back). I've never heard the word canyer regarding sugar cane.
-
Hello
Would he not, be more than a Carrier / Carryer with a House valued at £200 in 1734?
I see both. Could be a Shipping Carryer.
The Policy is limiting his insurance to his Scarborough House, suggesting he might have a house elsewhere, perhaps abroad?

21st September 1778
William Brooke, in Selby, along with others in Yorkshire, have got a set of Ships together to sail to Messrs Perkins and Robinson, Wharfingers, at the Gun and Shot Wharfe, Southwark.

Rippon, Philip Thompson.
Ouse, John Coulman.
Bedale, Richard Hinsleff.
Brothers, John Hood.

So (shipping) carryer seems appropriate.
He may well have transported raw sugar, but not cane - it deteriorated very fast once cut, hence the production of raw sugar on the plantation or nearby.
-
Thank you Sugarbakers, so Sugar Cane in its raw form wouldn't last anyway.
Carryer / Carrier in Shipping likely.
Canya (Cane) is related to the Catalonian (an area of Spain) language. Claimed to be vulgar Latin (not checked).
But the word Cane, as an occupation wouldn't make sense on its own.
Claire tells me there is a Will for a John Jefferson died 1765 at the Borthwick, York.
I will order a copy of the Will Bundle and see what it says.

Yes, such coasters could have been carrying raw sugar from London for Hull (much earlier for York, and later for Goole), and refined sugar in the form of sugar loaves from London, and maybe Hull, for almost any town/port they visited.
Don't forget to check Beverley Archives ... I've found great info there for both Hull and Goole.

Because GODMOND was sailing the "Centurion" out of Hull, with a J. HOOD, late 1780s, I have been searching the surname GODMOND and noticed two GODMOND children have middle surnames, one being GIBSON and the other COLLINSON (both not checked).

Hello
Muster Rolls - Copied into Volumes by Trinity House, Hull 1784 to 1790
These give Ages, Place of Birth and Abode.
John HOOD, Master Mariner, born Scarborough
According to all the Muster Rolls, John Hood, Master of the "Industry" to and from London 1784 - 1786 was born Scarbro' about 1740 and his Abode was recorded as either Hull or Selby until 1786.
John HOOD, Master Mariner, born Selby [? See ***]
According to the Muster Rolls, John Hood, Master of the "Centurion" to and from Petersburgh 1788 to 1790 was born Selby about 1739 to 1743 and his Abode was Hull (April 1788 & 1790) and Selby (Sept. 1788).
Selby was entered as Birthplace when John Hood first sailed the "Centurion" 1788.
ADDED: *** I suspect the John HOOD, Master of the "Centurion" born Selby, is an error. ***
John HOOD has not personally signed the April 1788 Muster Roll, it has been signed on his behalf by Thos HEWSON and then John Hood's Birth left blank in following Musters 1788 to 1790.
----------
Looks like John Hood the husband of Jane Hood (Jane Hood buried Selby August 1803) and "Wife of John Hood of Selby, Mariner", was born at Selby, or the place of Birth in the copy Muster of the "Centurion" was wrong.
No clue in the Musters who Jane Hood was (buried Selby in August 1803), nor where she was born, could even be from Petersburgh?

Further to the Above
The Master of the "Centurion" overlapping and prior to John Hood was Isaac GODMOND born Hull.

Hello
Muster Rolls - Copied into Volumes by Trinity House, Hull 1784 to 1790
These give Ages, Place of Birth and Abode.
John HOOD, Master Mariner, born Scarborough
According to all the Muster Rolls, John Hood, Master of the "Industry" to and from London 1784 - 1786 was born Scarbro' about 1740 and his Abode was recorded as either Hull or Selby until 1786.
Hello
I suspect the place of "Birth" "Selby" of John HOOD, Master of the "Centurion" in April 1788, is an error.
Where the copy signatures for the "Centurion" are, it says:-
a) Mr Hood and has been signed by Thos Hewson.
b) John Hood's age is fluctuating too much on the "Centurion" 1788 to 1790, as though Hewson is guessing.
c) Subsequent Muster Rolls of the "Centurion also signed by Hewson, have left HOOD's birthplace blank.
So John HOOD didn't fill in the Muster Roll of the "Centurion", it has been filled in by someone guessing John Hood's age & signed by the Thos Hewson (on HOOD's behalf), likely of Hewson & Co., Hull.
The Abode of John Hood is either given as Hull or Selby, in all the Muster Rolls.
-----------
John HOOD, Master, will be the same as John HOOD, Master, of the "Industry" born Scarborough, who was also living at both Hull and Selby. The age of John HOOD, Master of the "Industry" is going up by one year, the following year and John Hood has been entered as signing these earlier Muster Rolls.

Hello All
I have got a copy of that John Hood of Scarborough, Mariner, Widower & Sarah Hammond, Widow, Marriage at St Giles in the Fields, 1778 (Anc. has it under Camden in the listing, then St Giles).
But everything I touch re my George Hood quest is a disaster!
How about this for the two witness signatures?

Hello
Thank you dobfarm. If only I knew.
Whilst on a Roll (pardon the pun) with these Vessel Musters, we'll have a look at the earlier Scarborough Muster Rolls (from 1747) next, to see if I can get a Birthplace for George Hood, Mariner, who married Maudlin Spencer.
George Hood of Scarborough, Mariner, might not be born Scarborough and there might be a Hood family with descendants elsewhere, that can be brought forward / investigated.

Referring to John Hood [Master Mariner, Abode Selby, Born Scarbro'] occupying one part of a House divided into two Tenements at Mill Gate, Selby in the 1780s.

Eadon [and John Turner, Tallow Chandler] & Others to John Spencer, Grocer (later a Gent)
The same House at Selby, divided into two Tenements changed owners in 1790. I am wondering if any of those Surnames named in the 1790 property transfer quoted had any links to a HOOD please:-
Thomas EADON of Selby, Gentleman (looked at before).
William RIMINGTON of Pontefract, Yeoman.
Joseph TATE of Wistow, Yeoman.

John Turner Grocer & Chandler
Descent - John son of Henry Turner of Selby, Grocer & Chandler by Mary his wife, dau of John Todd of Selby, Innholder. Hannah dau of Richard Gowland of Cawood, Bricklayer.
Previously Hannah Gowland and John Todd looks to have witnessed the following Marriage of
John Halliday marr. Mary Breasley 19th February 1778 at Selby
(Wits. Hannah Gowland; Jno Todd & John Dickinson Jun'r)
The premises at Selby taken over by George Hood were occupied by Tho's Halliday & R'd Gibson (1800 Land Tax & confirmed in later Deed Petre to Hood)
Morley Wharrey has showed up in a Family Bible mentioning the Morleys at Gainsborough (the place where John Dean, owner of the Industry vessel resided, which was sailed from Hull by John Hood, Master.
It does seem that if George Hood was living at Selby with John Hood of Selby, Mariner, John Hood (via his Landlord) & George Hood were already in contact with people that had connections to Russell, Turner, Morley, Burton and John Halliday who all seem connected.
Thomas Halliday partly occupied the business premises George Hood would take over.

Hi
Morley Wharrey was baptised in Selby 1753 son of Thomas Wharrey & Margaret Morley
In 1760 Thomas Wharrey widower married Judith Bacon widow (wife Marg. buried Selby 1758)
Judith HARDY married a 'Mr' Henry Bacon of Selby in 1754. - Judith Wharrey's burial record in Selby confirms the Hardy parentage (of Snaith)
This Henry is not the Henry son of John BACON & Hannah HOOD but wondered if he was a brother of John Bacon or some relation ?
Possibly a bit of a Hood link.
-
Thank you.
Referring to my Reply #40, John Turner, Chandler & Grocer (John Hood's Landlord at Selby in the 1780s) was related to Sarah Russell's family and Sarah Russell became Wife of George Hood and Sarah Russell's Mother related to Burton.
Amended
Also does the same John Turner also link to Morley, Morley Wharrey and Burton of Brayton and Cook?
Added.
James Morley and Hannah Burton married Brayton 1796.
When Jane Morley was baptised 3 Aug 1797, the Register (Selby transcriptions) said Hannah was the Dau of John Burton of Burn, Parish of Brayton.

Hello
Going back to the Baptism of Sarah Russell at Selby the actual Selby Register page gives her Russell lineage as
Sarah Russel First Daur Of William Russel of Selby Sailer - Son of John Russel of Selby afores'd Lab'r. by Martha his Wife.
1793 Born 30th September, Baptism 9th October
According to the Selby Transcriptions:-
17th May 1792 William Russel, Sailor, Married Mary Burton, both of this Parish.
By Banns by Mounsey, Curate. William aged 29: Mary aged 20.
Witnesses: Henry Popplewell & George Tarbotton.
Comment: No surname for Martha ? [possibly Martha Hodgson - see next]
------------
However, looking at the Selby Transcriptions ...
Born & Baptised 17th June 1779
Mary & Martha Vincent baptised twin daughters of John Vincent, Mariner & Elizabeth.
Elizabeth daughter of John Russel of Selby, Labourer by Martha his Wife, Daughter of Thos Hodgson of Featherstone, Tayler.
Unfortunately, nothing on John Vincent's lineage and we didn't photograph even one whole volume of the numerous Hull Muster Roll Volumes! I don't have any Vincent in the Hull Mariner's Rolls photographed, which also cover Selby Births and/or Abodes.
27th November 1778 John Vincent (25) Mariner, Married Elizabeth Russel (21), Both of Selby.
-----------
Interesting that later (next century) a Matilda Vincent Hood, birth was registered at Langrick (near Carlton / Drax) in the Registration District of Selby and these Vincent Hoods came from Ditchingham in Norfolk.
-----------
However, it looks as if Sarah Russell's descent might be the same and therefore Martha Hodgson was also possibly Sarah Russel's Grandmother?
John Russel and Martha [Hodgson], don't seem to have married at Selby?
I wonder where they married, please?
-----------
Some Selby Deaths / Burials (from Transcriptions only) which might be helpful during research:-
22nd October 1805 Martha Russel, died, Widow, Selby. Died aged 86 & buried in the Church Yard.
[born about 1719]
11th September 1780 Benjamin Russel, died, Selby, Farmer, buried in the Church Yard. Decay of Nature aged 95.

Hi

Hello All
Thank you Claire.
So Martha Hotchson of Drax was the Daughter of Thos Hodgson of Featherstone, Tayler [sic].
That John Vincent, Mariner, [I need to see more of them Hull Trinity House Muster Rolls, to get his Birth place!!] married Elizabeth Russel and Elizabeth has the same descent as my Sarah Russel, who married George Hood of Selby.
Then about 80 years later from John Vincent, Mariner, on 16th February 1861 Matilda Vincent (alias Matilda Vincent Hood) was born at Langrick, in the Sub-district of Carlton in the Registration District of Selby and her Mother was Emily VINCENT HOOD. They were from Ditchingham, Norfolk.
I keep wondering if there is a local link somewhere and I've just missed it, for all these volumes of notes, Certificates, Census, Deed Registrations, pc files of photos and images, that have built up over 20 years. I must have seen and purchased upwards of 100 HOOD WILLS!
I can't 'see the Hood for the trees'. ;D ;D

This House at Selby divided into two Tenements one occupied by John Hood, transferred in 1790 from John Turner, Tallow Chander (& Grocer) to John Spencer, Grocer (later a Gent).
One of the parties in the 1790 transfer, was Joseph Tate of Wistow, Yeoman.
1776 Wistow
Aug:t 20th Joseph Tate married Mary Shippen
In view of the 1790 House transfer (Registered 1792) also indicating Joseph Tate of Wistow, Yeoman was a party to the transfer and a 1776 Marriage found by Claire of Joseph Tate of Wistow, it confirms John Hood's Selby neighbour was almost certainly SHIPPEN.

-Mark-
I've ( Joseph - bit more readable) darkened - enhanced your 1776 Wistow marriage image .

Only thing that is a bit confusing is: Mary Shippen married Joseph Tate 1776 - so WHY was she put down in the land tax 1781 5 years later (after she married Joseph Tate) in her maiden name as M Shippen and NOT - M Tate (Mrs) ???
Unless M Shippen 1781 land tax was a relative of Mary Shippen = Mrs Tate by 1781 - (like:- Example Michael Shippen or Martha Shippen)

Discussing HOOD & ROW witnesses today we both thought simultaneously of the 1782 Will of Catherine Spencer, Wife of Scarborough, these Spencers were linked to Rowe by marriage.

Hello
We called in at Selby Abbey on a recent visit to Yorkshire.
If you are following the other thread, you may have seen my very recent Robinson and Cook of Snaith / Snayth research attachment (Jottings).
1809 Admin (Inland Revenue Abstract) for John Cook of Snaith Yorkshire, England, gives his Sister's name Eliz'th Workman of Beverley County of York, who married Stephen Workman, a Widower at Beverley in 1795, wits Thos Procter and Mary Caygill. Also the place of Beverley was mentioned by my Grandmother along with the Robinson and Stephenson surnames.
Back to the quote above and our recent visit to Selby Abbey, some interesting recording of the Memorials was taken just over 100 years ago and regarding ROBINSON it says:-
Robinson. Date 170 - NNA, Bay from W 7. No 37
Daughter of William Robinson
Gentleman of Beverley.
Died the - of January 170 -
Aged -
(The above is amongst the
names on the Stone used by
the Daunt family from
which, the eminant Chemist
Smithson Tennant was
descended.) [sic]
Looking at Elizabeth HOOD in the quote (above) and looking at the Selby Abbey Floor Grave location information (quoted in this reply) linking ROBINSON to DAUNT, it seems there is a link from my HOOD family to an earlier *Elsabeth HOOD and link with ROBINSON and Beverley and Snaith, is beginning to emerge, just as my late Grandmother said about 47 years ago ;D ;D

* signed and spelt Elsabeth Hood and "of Selby" removed.
The 1759 Tennant & Daunt, wedding was by Licence and according to an unchecked transcription, it would seem Mary Daunt gave her residence as Snaith?
