Census Look Up Please for HOOD

[Sande]

Would someone be able to do a lookup please for, William & Mary HOOD. I guess they were born about 1820s. They were married in 1847 Glasgow. The children I know of are Katherine J, born 1855, Margaret 1857, Alexander Jarvie 1860, Helen 1863, James Jarvie 1865 and Agnes ? were born at Hutchesontown, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. I think there were nine children all together.

William's wife was, Mary Ireland JARVIE.

I found information that says William was the manager of Robert Wotherspoon & Co Confectioners but I think he had died before 1894 when son James Jarvie passed away.


Alexander Jarvie & James Jarvie both became medical doctors and came to NSW Australia in the early 1880s. Alexander J bought his sisters Katherine & Margaret out later on. Helen and Agnes married and had families out here too.

Thanks for any help
Sandra

From what you mention, Ev, about mother Mary's use of surnames/middlenames, her Will & Testament entry on SP (not sure what type of document it may be) shows as:

Mary Hood or Jarvie otherwise Mary Ireland or Jarvie, sometime residing at 3 Cecil Place, Paisley Road, West, Glasgow, thereafter at 14 Bruntsfield Avenue, Edinburgh, d 9 Sept 1893 at Edinburgh, Testate
