Last night I was watching a programme about trains, presented by the historians who did the 'life on the farms in different centuries).

Last night TV programme, they looked at repairing barrels and more important the work of the cooper was partly involved in the brewing or the ageing (or aging ?) of Whiskey or other brewing liquids was done by firing to char the barrel and timing the barrel age for smell - meaning one could not repair with new strips of new wood it had to be recycled from similar aged old broken barrels.

Thus cooper work aging the making brews was a brewing skill. Small Brewers/Innkeeper/Copper (One job or group of skilled workers of each trade in one backstreet concern business) behind a pub inn was common. 

Skill of ageing stuff!!  Brews/wine/cheese or timing in Tanning leather in baths is years.

Hello dobfarm and All

Fortunately, we turned over and saw the barrel making and whisky distillery, to the end.

Great shame Richard Gibson's (Cooper Dealer and Chapman), 1807 Bankruptcy file (Guildhall, London) was it seems destroyed!

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r/2?_st=adv&_ep=Gibson&_cr1=B&_dss=range&_sd=1700&_ed=1840&_ro=any&_hb=tna

For 1807, there was a William Hogarth Gibson of 3 Saville Row, Walworth, Surrey, Warehouseman, in TNA, Kew, Cat reference B

Richard Gibson of Great Surrey Street, Southwark, Surrey, Grocer (Dealer and Chapman) but 1830 (too late), in Cat reference B

1791 The Universal British Directory of Trade, Commerce, and Manufacture
Got the 5 vol. on pdfs - sadly not 'Ctrl F' searchable (2 vols downloaded are and I have Hoods listed). Plenty of Gibsons and several Hoods in London, in various trading businesses.

Rather than put the County places together, the Directories have spread Yorkshire places, over the whole set, but NO Hood listed for Selby.

Just thought, I'll look out Newcastle, Gateshead and Bishopwearmouth/Sunderland and see what Hoods are listed.

Whitehead's Newcastle Directory 1787, printed by T. Angus
The other 1787 Directory for Newcastle list:-
Anthony Hood, fitter, office, Broad chair.
Robert Hood, Spirit-dealer, north fide [side], Sandhill.

[possibly Anthony Hood & Co., Newcastle, connected?]

Robert Hood from Newcastle to Sunderland
BNA online - Newcastle Courant 7 October 1786 - Robert Hood from Newcastle wishes to acquaint his friends and the public, that he has entered upon the King's Head Inn, SUNDERLAND.

South Bishopwearmouth / Sunderland
The Sunderland area, was where James and Sarah Hood of Selby, had their son James Alfred Hood (34 Blandford Street, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland 25 September 1863), before the birth of their next child at Selby.

Anthony Hood was the inventor of a certain machine drive belt (can't find the patent), but found this ...

NC council - Archaeology 2005
"George Wray, brick maker on South Shore, also owned a rope-walk (HER 5650; Fig 12) in 1771 (op cit,  p 78). This may be the same as that established by Stoddart and Co. in 1795 at Saltmeadows (HER 4366: Fig 12) and soon owned solely by a former partner Anthony Hood. In 1799 Hood introduced a rope-making machine, patented by William Chapman in 1798. This technological innovation eventually superceded the earlier rope-walks and marked the beginning of the growth of ropemaking in Gateshead (op cit, p 78)."

1791 Newcastle, re Anthony Hood, fitter ...
Anthony Hood,
Fitter of Simpsons - Pontop,
Tanfield-moor,
Blaydon-main,
Longbenton,
South-moor,
Whitefield,
Ryton-moor, and
Marly-hill, Coals.

Sounds like Anthony Hood of Newcastle, was a firm with contracts to the coal mining industry.

Interesting stuff your last posts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=754247.msg6034198#msg6034198

Richard Gibson age ? cooper Wren lane Selby 1800 (mountain book) suggest R Gibson was older than George Hood d 1845 by at least 10 years

Have you checked how far R Gibson goes back in land tax ? Selby or near parishes (and other side of the river).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A long shot Blandford Street,

When your in the library again check 1861c for any Hood's, Arundal's, Russel's (Russell's) or Gibson's in houses in Blandford Street, Adjoining streets and backstreets behind Blandford Street backgardens or yards

# From Goughy's post

In 1861 living at 34 Blandford Street were a David (born 1831) and Dinah Rankin.  Both born Sunderland.  Occ Master Carpenter.  Also in building was a John P (Occ Draper) and Catherine McGregor

You've got have a general interest story mention of Anthony in your tree -related or not.  (Gold bullets these.) I'm waiting for Kirklees Hall priory Hood's turning up one day.  :o

Further to my last post above.

Attachment of ...

16 November 1782
"Mary" is brought back from Inverness by Hood (Arrival Shields)

It seems the "Mary" was plying the Inverness route and possibly why she was called the MARY of Inverness lying at Newcastle Quay for the 19th November 1782 Auction.

I'll have a look on Scotlands People later.

Regards Mark

Muster Roll Northern Ports Shields & C.
BT 98/130
Date 1779 - 1782
and
BT 98/131
Date 1781 - 1783

Both volumes inspected carefully, page by page for all the vessels called "Mary "

Not one of them called Mary had John Hood as Master, nor was John Hood crew on any of the Mary vessels listed!

So the Mary with Master John Hood, must have been from elsewhere.

Hello

Where the crews were paid is unknown, but the MARY had just called at Shields, in mid November 1782, immediately before she was offered for Auction on 19 November 1782, with John Hood, Master, at Newcastle Quay. - Replies 43 & 44 for images.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=731922.36

The "MARY" must either be from elsewhere, or the page was one of those destroyed in the BT 98 Series.

Custom files (on TNA Cat) for Newcastle ...
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_st=adv&_ep=newcastle&_cr1=CUST&_dss=range&_sd=1779&_ed=1782&_ro=any&_hb=tna

I wondered if anyone has seen any of the above CUST (Customs) files and do they contain any Masters of vessels and crews, please?

Thank you,
Regards Mark

Hello

Despite Opt Character Recognition difficulties, we have found vessels sailing to and from Hull by a Master HOOD, who according to a 1780 document description and also a Lloyds Register late 1789, there was a "J. Hood" sailing from Hull to London and later to St Petersburg [Russia].

The Hull shipping company of J. Hood, Master of the Bedale were Messrs Burton & Taylor, in Hull (1780) found by dobfarm
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=731922.msg5952833#msg5952833

John Hood has appeared in a Vessels List of 1778 (featured first post in this thread) and these same Agents at various places in this other 1778 advert, are also linked to shipping company Burton and Taylor, Hull, about this time.

Burton and Taylor, in Hull, stated in 1778 that vessels from London would be routed up the Aire & Calder Navigation from Haddlesey (now the Selby Canal I believe) to the Port at Selby, before going on to the destination Port of Hull. It appears Selby was most important on the Hull to London route and vice versa.

I'm hoping it is John Hood of Selby, Mariner and possibly also confirming why he moved from Scarborough and had a house at Selby from circa 1781 (confirmed in the earliest Selby Land Tax of 1781).

Later when "J. Hood" was Master on a Ship called Centurion in 1789 his shipping company were Hewson & Co. Hull.


Masters sailing to and from Hull, would also have paid into the Hull Trinity House Pension, so I'm hoping J. Hood will appear in the Hull Trinity House, Muster Rolls (from 1747) and other records at the Hull History Centre.

Trinity House, Hull, also had their own School from 1785 and they trained them to become Shipping Apprentices.

Hull Trinity House, even had an Adult, Navigation Evening School.
