Hello
Regardless of Richard Gibson, the Cooper being elusive at birth and death, I still believe there is something in the John Hood = Elizabeth Gibson marriage, it is the 'd' on the George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage Alleg/Bond and John Hood signatures, the stick is brought through itself, forming a circular pattern.
This Hall Gates, is outside Newcastle, so did anyone check the other Newcastle Churches from the link?
I'll have a look.
Scott - Gibson
Coincidence, or connection ... Hull Advertiser 16 January 1813
Summergangs, Near Hull.
At the House of William Scott, known by the Sign of the Nag's Head, in Summergangs ...
Lot I Sale of the Nag's Head and Garden.
A Tenement adjoining the Nag's Head Inn, and in the occupation of Perceval Wilkinson.
Lot II & III were late in the occupation of Mr H. Gibson, or lately occupied Henry Gibson, respectively.
At the bottom of advert, the owner was given as Henry Gibson.
Possible burial for Richard Gibson?
Provided nobody else is claiming it belongs to another Richard ...
Kirk-Heaton Parish Register of 1821 for August. (D 160/1/5/1 found on Ancestry)
Richard Gibson, Abode Dalton, 15th, 56 years.
Ancestry Member - Hood / Wistow
The Ancestry member Story, I wonder if the Member has seen a Hood plaque, in one of the surrounding Parish Churches, not recorded in the Register?
Will check Wm Wheater's book again, but the only Hood, was Matthew Hood marrying Elizabeth Byard at Wistow.
Matthew Hood (a Chirurgus) and Elizabeth Hood were buried in Selby Abbey 1717 & 1732 respectively.
Parhaps, the Ancestry Member has seen a Hood Memorial / Plaque in one of the surrounding churches?
Other Hood Marriage at Brayton - 1732
EDIT Nathanael Hood of Selby and Anne Loftas of Brayton married 11th January.
Perhaps a Hood Memorial or Plaque or Grave memorial inside / outside Wistow / Brayton (or surrounding) Church?
But nothing in the Register for Sept 1845.
Selby Abbey - Sexton Book
Had a reply, re Sexton Book, the Archive did not hold it, so will try the other Archive there (in same City).
Regards Mark.
EDIT : Rumoured that the Vicar of either Wistow / Brayton fell out with the Bishop and ripped out/up, some of the original Parish Register pages?
