Unfortunately these Selby ... "Disbursements for the Workhouse &c." only start April 1785 [Im. 1237] to May 1786 (with the May page/s lost).

The pages before 1785, are the Assessments for collecting the money in, it seems.

According to Selby Parish Transcriptions there was a Steel family, so likely Steel and possibly her poor relief, paid along with others. It also gives the numbers above in the [Work]House it seems, too.

William Kennington & Sarah Archer [Im. 1238]
Noticed specific references to the expenses of chasing up Wm Kennington / Wm Honnington the supposed Father of Sarah Archer's Child and a visit to Wentbridge, Swinfl't and Pontefract (Journeys to Pontefr't on same the acc't).

Be interesting if the birth/baptism was recorded at Wentbridge, Pontefract, Swinefleet or elsewhere (as it does not appear in Selby transcriptions) and see what was recorded the other end, if only to get a feel of the procedure.

-----------------

Not saying George Hood was illegitimate, as we don't yet know.


Interesting though, thank you.

We'll know better when WYAS re opens in Wakefield to check quarter session 1784 to 1788 for any possible illegitimate as George Hood or as a George -------- ? another surname orders on the father for child support payments. 

Illegitimacy is a strong possibility when all other routes of research are at near exhaustion ! - even Quakers records - bearing in mind George Hood early Selby info is Anglican C of E and he stated born in Yorkshire 1841c and only Hood's in Selby the OAP's John and Jane Hood and Maudland Turner nee Hood by sound of migrants of Scarborough to Selby. Jane Hood nee from 

[..claire..]

Quarter session records are available on Anc* for Wakefield and Leeds.

I am researching a family in the Ripon/ York / Topcliffe area of Yorkshire. What I have noticed is there are quite a few Hood families in the Topcliffe registers, with a few Georges in the c1780/90 baptism registers. Have these been checked out ?

Hello All

Thanks Claire and dobfarm.

I do have some Topcliffe Register images downloaded (from Ancestry), Claire these were not easy to follow at the time, one of the Parish Registers appears to be a copy of another.

Staff Sgt George Hood of Leeds who also died in September 1845 (just before my George H), Staff Sgt Hood was born Burniston near Bedle [Bedale?]

 -----------

Also the 1835 Will Bundle of George Hood scanned.

The 1835 Kirby Hill Probate Bundle of George Hood the Elder of Milby, in the County of York, Innkeeper who died 13th March 1835 ...

Children were:-
George Hood [likely 29 November 1789 Kirby Hill by Boroughbridge. 1851 Langthorpe Census aged 60 farmer with 69 acres born Milby, Yorks]

Ralph Hood [likely 28 June 1792 Kirby Hill by Boroughbridge. 1851 Langthorpe Census aged 60 Inn keeper Ship Inn, born Milby, Yorks. NOTE - "Ship Inn" appears to have been added to Innkeeper, with a line to a lower entry for Joseph Green and John Green Timber Merchants sons, where the words "at home" are added.]

Mary Batty [nee Mary Hood likely 4 July 1800 Kirby Hill by Boroughbridge]

Rachel Wrigglesworth [nee Rachel Hood 9 February 1803 Kirby Hill by Boroughbridge]

Thomas Hood [24 December 1805 Kirby Hill by Boroughbridge]

James Atkinson of Rockcliffe owed a 'Certain debt' of £150 to George Hood.

George Hood the Elder and son Ralph also had a "Lighter".

The information posted to help others and information in square brackets is not in the actual Will, but taken from the 1992 IGI surname HOOD Yorkshire microfiche (unchecked in Registers). The two 1851 Census page images have been viewed.

 -----------


The other George Hood appears to be the one at Langthorp (Boroughbridge) in 1851 Census.

 -----------

Seems the one who died c.1835 may have previously been the same George Hood, as "Mr Hood's Grantham Arms" Boroughbridge (Nr Aldborough), but Will refers to another pub., and a newspaper search suggests Hood was at the Grantham Arms well into the 1820s. Seems he was a horse trainer owning horses.

Got some Wills transcribed from the Borthwick ...

Crude summaries of two Hood Wills of Baldersby / Topcliffe

 ----------

I ordered and paid for the "George Hood" Boroughbridge/Aldborough and Ripon Deed Registration searches AND copies from Wakefield, but they cancelled my order, as they were closing a week later, really they ought to have honoured my order, because it was placed a week before the cut-off date for ordering.

 ----------

Not sure if Geo Hood September 1845 burials were checked at Ripon, as it seems more were/are being added on FindMyPast.

Hello All

Claire, it seems a Casson Coat of Arms (Ancestry) has 1840 Pannal Hall.

Pannal Hall is near Harrogate but was the Seat of the Bentley family!
A Bentley Will trancsript
http://www.harrogatepeopleandplaces.info/wills/r/033.htm


An unverified internet source suggests a Casson may have owned a residence called Wescoe Hall, later called Pannal House?

I also see information in respect of an Edwin Casson a Surgeon of Bradford, later of Pannal. Might be worth checking 19th Century Census?

No family makes claims and then allows original source paperwork to disappear!

Regards Mark

[Goughy]

This particular Edwin Casson was born in Sheffield in 1806 father Benjamin Casson (Gentleman).  He married Ann Inkersley in Bradford in 1838

1851 living at Church Hill House Bradford
1861 Blakehill House Eccleshill (Bradford)
died 1863 probate of Pannal House, Pannal

and something on Westcoe Hall

[BushInn1746]

Thanks Goughy

I've checked the 1863 Probate Register now and Edwin Casson formerly of Bradford Surgeon and Apothecary deceased was late of "Pannal House", Pannal, both in the County of York.

This confirms Edwin Casson was not of Pannal Hall, which was the family Seat of the Bentleys.

I am interested in separating fact from fiction.
