Hello dobfarm

Thanks for that link, I expect this will be printed in the newspaper (so no copy required).

I'm wondering how complete the Aire and Calder Navigation Company records and Canal / River Company records are, at the various Archives including Wakefield, for September 1845 / November 1879?

We only need a River Company Goods Carriage / Conveyance Book or Ledger with the date and convey 1 body / coffin from Selby to ___________
Might get a location near his / her burial place?

Just looked again at George Hood's Death Certificate and he died on 18 September 1845, with the death registered on the 19 September 1845.

Regards Mark

Thanks Shaun

The second most important person on the ship and also responsible for the cargo on behalf of the owner, but travelling with the cargo and selling the cargo at Ports and buying goods.

I have also found an early 1800s reference to a Lloyds of London Board Meeting (it would seem), employing a George Hood and others to investigate fraudulent or bogus shipping cargo and insurance claims.

Thanks Mark

Hello All

Around the time of the birth of George Hood of Selby, newspapers suggest that John Hood was on the London route from, or via Hull.

John Hood, Mariner of Selby was married to Jane by 1803, as Jane Hood aged 65 and wife of John Hood of Selby, Mariner was buried at Selby in August 1803.

26 December 1786 Leeds Intelligencer
HULL, December 21.
Coasters Sailed. ...
Leeds Packet, Hood ; ... for London.

29 December 1786 Stamford Mercury
HULL, Dec. 22.
Coasters Sailed. ...
Leeds Packet, Hood ; ... for London.

According to the Selby, Yorkshire, Register of Births for Elizabeth Turner 6th April 1795, regarding her mother Maudland Turner (nee Maudland Hood) it states:-

Morland Daur of John Hood of Selby mariner by Elizabeth his wife Daur of John Spencer of Scarbro' mariner.

John Spencer Mariner, mentioned in a Will, found at Blythburgh
Regarding a John Spencer, Mariner, the following has been found in documents at Blythburgh near Southwold, Suffolk:-

"Robert Elmy, in 1784, bequeaths a sixteenth share in the brig John and Sarah to one daughter and the like portion in the brig Friendship, to another, and his relative John Spencer, mariner, "by reason of my sincere and firm attachment to the Dissenters of Southwold", direct that £50, shall on his wife's death revert to the Trustees of the Meeting".

John Hood of Selby, mariner, was originally married to Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of John Spencer of Scarborough, mariner, I feel this could possibly be an interesting discovery, whether the John Spencers are the same, is still to be discovered?

Kind regards Mark
