GEORGE HOOD

[JAP]

John/All,

I wonder whether anyone has any comments about the following?

...
The following might be relevant:
A Charles GOLDING married a Mary A WHITNEY in NSW in
1857.
A Jane GOLDING was born in Liverpool NSW 1858, parents Charles & Mary A.
A Jane LOW died 1945, Auburn NSW, parents Charles & Mary Ann.
...

I haven't found an appropriate marriage of a Jane to a LOW - perhaps there wasn't a formal marriage.  But at least it is a possible LOW/GOLDING connexion.

I guess the death certificate might help.

Here are a couple of electoral roll entries:
1930
Jane LOW 44 Trongate St Granville, home duties
1936
Jane LOW 29 Kihillah Rd, Auburn North, no occupation.

I haven't yet found any connexion to SAMSON.

From the Rookwood cd

re  the  Low  information  you  had  posted  I  also  had a  look  for a  marriage  and  there was  few Jane's to a Low but  not  Golding  or Sampson/samson

My  thoughts  were  just might be a sheer coincidence of  parents  names, as they  were  the  names of  the day. 

I  must agree somewhat  with  JAP  as  not  not  making too many assumptions without a  few  hardd  facts.

I find  George's age a  bit  worrying  to  be  young  George's father but  not  impossible  what  is anyone else's comments on  that?

A look  at  the  funeral  notice  would surely  be very benificial  it  wouldn't be too hard for John  given  he  has a date  to  go  by 

Cazay  that will  be  also  helpfull  if  you  do  happen  to  find  the Hood Bros arrival  together

kind regards Jenn

I realise that John HOOD is not the main subject of your research but thought you may be interested in a photo of him.

Jap,
You are on the ball!. Further down I have put some further info. Your views on George seniors death I have pondered on before because as you correctly say he would have fathered George Junior at the age of 65/66. I strongly believe the death record to have his age 10 years out PLACING HIS BIRTH AT 1834. The death cert shows he had been in NSW 50 putting his arrival c1865-very similar time as John. Georges marriage record to Ann in1856 does have his uncle William(mayor) and aunt Elizabeth as witnesses. Whilst this does not confirm the George in Australia is John's brother there would appear to be too much circumstatial evidence against it not being. I fully agree that unless one can prove a point it does leave doubt that does not always sit comfortably.

1. Samuel Hood married Elizabeth Ryley 11.5.1830 in Stafford
2. Henry 1831 Bolton. William 1833 Bolton,George 1834 Bolton,Harrison 1836 Bolton, Mary Eliza 1839 Bolton
3. Twins John/James Hood born 2.5.1841 St Werburgh Dearby--same place as 1841 census.
4. Georges age not on first or second marriage certs-full age.

My ancestors that went to Australia were a deceitful lot. Transpires another Samuel Hood went via NZ to Australia having been married in the uKand left wife behind. changed his name to Hood-Hammond and had a daughter Joan Hilda who went on to be one of Australias leading opera singers-but thats another story. You guys have been so helpful and I feel as if I am wasting your time as there are little bits that do not quite tie up. The one thing I would love to close is the connection between George senior and George junior. Speak soon unless you have had enough of me.

John

I have sat for the last four hours facinated in reading other postings and all the help you have given people. You really are stars in this research game. In reading some of your replies do you think the George Hood who died in 1915 may have left a will. It may be I can get this and possibly answer some questions.
