GEORGE HOOD

[softly softly]

Help required from down under please.

George Hood according to his marriage certificate was aged 24 in 1914 and born in Burwood NSW.
His death record in 1969 shows his age as 80 and born in Auburn NSW. These two records would indicate a birth year of 1889/90. His parents were George Hood and Jane Golding/Samson/Low? However, I cannot find his birth anywhere in NSW. His father George had married in England in 1856 but George appears to have left his wife between 1871(uk census) and 1887 when he married Jane in Liverpool NSW. When his son George records his death in 1915 it is shown there were two children born, George and one female deceased. Again no female recorded in NSW with the parents George/Jane. What I have found are two births. George Smith(1890-Goulburn and Jane Smith 1892 -Lampton both of whom have the parents George/Jane Any chance someone could try and check out these two records for me as I think he was trying to cover his tracks a little. George was either a Painter or Boilermaker if that helps at all.

Any help would be fantastic.

Hi John

A quick reply - the only way you could check details on any bdm registration is to either purchase the certificate or a transcription of same from a transcription agent listed on the NSW bdm website
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/howToSearch.htm#TranscriptionAgent

I believe you can request that only certain details are  checked for a reduced fee...full transcription is about $16/17.

John I have the 1903 NSW Electoral Roll on disk and your George HOOD with wife Jane were not enrolled under that name...or didn't bother to enrol.

cando,
George and Jane it would appear were in Collingwood Victoria and appear on the 1909 and 1914 electoral registers there. Why he appears to die in NSW IN 1915 NOT SURE ABOUT. It could be Jane died 1914/15 and he went to live with his son?
Thanks for help so far.

Hello  there John

Did  you  get  the  marriage certificate for George Hood and Jane Golding?

If so  am assuming  it  is  the right George Hood?

It  is a little  strange  that  the  two children are not recorded  under Hood  when  he married  under  that  name.


I am  asking  this question  because  I  did wonder  if  perhaps  the  parents didn't marry as he was allready married and  there is  no  divorce record for  him  in  NSW  If  they  didn't marry  perhaps  the children are registered under her name?


Did  his death recorded  him as being a  painter?  Do  you  know when Jane died at all?

Jenn,
GEORGE DID MARRY JANE IN 1887 IN LIVERPOOL NSW. IT IS ALSO RECORDED THAT HE WAS A PAINTER. THE EARLIEST I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRACK HIS SON GEORGE THROUGH ELECTORAL REGISTERS IS 1914 WHEN HE APPEARS WITH HIS WIFE ADA AND HIS OCCUPATION IS WOOD MACHINIST. IF HE WAS BORN 1889/90 THEN THE EARLIEST I AM LIKELY TO FIND HIM IS AROUND 1911 AND POSSIBLY WITH HIS PARENTS IN COLLINGWOOD VICTORIA OR AROUND THE MARRICKVILLE AREA IN NSW AND SUSPECT HE WAS STILL A WOOD MACHINIST. ANY HELP YOU GUYS CAN OFFER WILL BE GOOD. FORGOT, DO NOT KNOW WHEN JANE DIED BUT CERTAINLY AFTER 1914 WHEN SHE APPEARS WITH GEORGE ON THE 1914 ELECTORAL REG IN COLLINGWOOD AT 61 DIGHT ST.

Hello  there John

I  have searched  Victoria  for  births  but  not  there  as well  as  Qld.  I  guess  they  may not have been  registered.

Are you sure you have found your couple as

Australian Electoral Rolls 1900-1936

1914 As above

Death 
HOOD Jane with father Henry HINSON and mother Mary ELLIOTT Aged 69 years in 1916  at Carlton North Ref#9346

1919
HOOD George 30 Wills Street, Box Hill   Occ Painter

1924  Ditto

Their marriage

HOOD George
HINSON Jane

and the birth of the above Alfred mentioned on the 1903 Roll
HOOD Alfred Hinson
Father:George  Mother Jane HINSON

Between 1865 and 1885 this couple had 14 chn.

Not your George and Jane HOOD.  There were other HOOD names in the Collingwood area on the early electoral rolls.  More family I suspect.

These two Georges seem more likely candidates.  May I ask what are your sources for George Snr's occupations?
