Hello All
Thank you very much, but please don't lose any sleep over my George Hood.
If it was my George Hood of Selby, baptised Gateshead St Marys 1st October 1786, his father was John Hood, sadly no occupation given, (sent the copy to T&W Archives and Parish Register has no more information)
and
If my George Hood was Nephew of Richard Gibson, it is likely that John Hood will be a Mariner (unless John Hood's occupation changed).
If the Hood - Gibson theory, is reality/turns out to be true, then this gives two females in the area as possible sisters to my George Hood?
1. Elizabeth Hood baptised All Saints Newcastle upon Tyne, 15 April 1781, father John Hood, mariner.
2. Eleanor Hood baptised Tynemouth, 14 December 1783, father John Hood, mariner of Shire Moor.
Hopefully, I've understood this right so far?
-----------------------------
Other Eleanor Hood IGI marriages 1806; 1817 and 1824 are distant ...
Assumed they lived long enough to marry, that leaves us locally with Elizabeth Hood Parish Weddings ...
marrying William Cook 24 Jan 1804 Tynemouth by Banns [image 456, spinster not stated] and
marrying Thomas Patterson 17 Dec 1814, Long Horsley, Northumberland
marrying Thomas Graham 15 August 1818, All Saints, Newcastle
Sorry a bit piecemeal, but my keyboard decided to stop, so posted, to avoid losing what I had.
Hopefully, if any marriage had a child, we might find one (or two even) Elizabeth Hood/s with a descent to father John Hood / John Hood, mariner?
Regards Mark
EDIT
Seems like someone else enquiring about William Cook (married to Elizabeth Cook, nee Elizabeth Hood) of Tynemouth ...
