Hood Family
« on: Monday 10 October 11 20:20 BST (UK) »
Sorry it's me again looking for assistance.  I am trying to trace my great grandmother's side of my family by the name of Hood.  The following is the information that I know:
1901 Census
Living in Dalkeith Midlothian, 32 South Street
John Hood, 44, Fruit Hawker, Wife Barbara 42, Daughter Barbara 12, Mary Jane 8, and Agnes 4.
1891 Census
John Hood 34 and Barbara 32, Elizabeth S. Davidson aged 10 step daughter of John and Barbara 2 at 40 Stirling Street Galashiels
I can't seem to access these documents through Scotland's People but I know they are on Ancestry, however, I would like copies of these documents.  I am unable to access them and I can't find them on Scotland's People, very strange I know but there it is.  I would like copies of those censi and also a birth certificate for Elizabeth S. Davidson (also having problems finding that).  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong on Scotland's People?  I'm sorry to ask!

Kind Regards

The 1891 is a bit more tricky ~

Use  John Hood,  34, Roxburgh and Ladhope

re Elizabeth S Davidson.

I see that she's down as step daughter and b. Galashiels on the 1891. Do you know what Barbara's previous surname(s) were?  She's not showing to clearly on the birth records.

Hi again,  got the censi on your advice, thank you.  Still having trouble with Elizabeth's birth certificate.  Barbara's maiden name was Sanderson.  I have her marriage certificate to John Hood and they married on the 1 May 1888 I believe in their early thirties.

Kind Regards

There's a birth registration for an Elizabeth Isabel Sanderson 1880 Galashiels.

What's the betting that the S in Elizabeth S Davidson is Sanderson  :)

 :D

I decided to gamble 5 credits on the birth cert ~

18 Sept 1880 Galashiels -Elizabeth Isabella Davidson Sanderson, illegitimate. Mother - Barbara Sanderson.

Will send you the cert - think I still have the e-mail.
