Hello
Awaiting the 1816 Will bundle of Wm Batman of Selby, because George Hood was later one of the occupants of the premises owned by the Exors of Batman and there was a later Hood of Selby link to Bateman (via Wilkinson).
In 1839 George Hood with others were linked to the premises owned by Batman's Exors.
By 1840 Richard Precious now owned the premises (previously Batman's Exors) with Geo Hood and others still occupying.
Interesting that a Robert Precious married Hannah Newby 1825, Daughter of Hannah Newby (nee Chester) of Carlton, Snaith and Kellington and Mother of Chester Newby (George Hood's Marriage Bondsman).
Going back to the Batman surname, it appears at Eastrington - Mary BATMAN marrying Thomas SWAN in 1772. John BATMAN was a witness.
Then on the next Eastrington page (same opening) John Batman witnesses a John ANELAY, marriage in 1773. The Howdenshire History website suggests the early members of the Eastrington Ainley Family came from the Snaith area and mentions the 1773 Marriage.
http://www.howdenshirehistory.co.uk/eastrington/ainley-family-history.htmlInteresting, because in 1802 a George Newby, Wheelwright, married Elizabeth Swan, Spinster both of Baln, Parish of Snaith and William HOOD and David SWANN were witnesses.
At Selby in 1811 Robert CHESTER, Sailor, married Jane BATEMAN, witnesses Thos AINLAY and John Jackinson.
There just seems to be a load of surname links with all this above lot!
----------
Then I find on the Borthwick catalogue for Yarburgh of Heslington ...
Agreement of Sarah and David SWANN, farmers, OF BALNE, with George John Yarburgh, to rent lands in Balne on annual basis, at £137 per annumWm Hood of Heslington is also linked to the Yarburgh of Heslington, due to Wm Hood holding some of Yarburgh lands.
Added: Elizabeth Hood 1717 seems to be listed under a Marriage Settlement list by Hull History Centre [Financial Settlement prior to an intended Marriage, usually to cover her settlement should her Husband die first] in the Greame papers, apparently linked with Yarburgh.
Yarburgh of Heslington also holds lands in various parts of the Parish of Snaith and just discovered
Yarburgh of Snaith Hall and G. Cooke Yarburgh mentioned in 1826.
Therefore, I've ordered the full Will Bundle of William Hood of Heslington (rather than just my 1807 Inland Revenue Abstract Copy).
-----------
Clary WALKER first married Jonathan Ranby of Pollington and as Widow she married James Hood, Schoolmaster in 1762 at Snaith. Buried Snaith in 1794 as Clarissa Hood.
And who were witnesses in 1762 Samuel ANLEY (variations of that surname also cropping up often) and the other witness was Samuel Huscroft.
----------
Previously, traced back the ancestry of the Bell Hotel, Humberstone Gate, Leicester, proprietor's Wife, (where my 2 x Gt Grandmother was a Domestic in 1871, shortly before her Marriage) and the Proprietor's Wife descends from Robinson of Carlton, Snaith. In the same line, there was a Hannah Cooke and Wm Storr witnesses at the 1821 Snaith Wedding of John Robinson and Ann Eddell.
Fotunately, there is an 1839 Will for this John Robinson of Carlton, Widow Ann, the Hotel Wife's ancestor, so ordered that too.
Previously we discovered, in 1830 William Cockin of Snaith married Ann Robinson at Hatfield (William Cooke & John Hepworth were witnesses) and now wonder if they'll be related to this Robinson of Carlton line. Hopefully the Will might link a few, or perhaps the Leicester Hotel Proprietor's Wife was a relative of ours and how my 2 X Gt Grandparents met (the Proprietor's Wife and my 2 X Gt Grandfather both having links with Selby).
My Grandmother mentioned Snaith and Beverley, also Stephenson and Robinson.
So I still remain hopeful!
