George Hood 1815 Selby Marriage - James Cookin / James Cook in W

[dobfarm]

Can only see three marriages on one site

John HOOD to Jane SHARP 25 Dec 1793 St Peters Derby

John HOOD to Jane CORBETT 27 March 1797 Colchester.

And the John and Jane in Scalby which we touched upon the other week.

Maybe Mrs Jane Hood was a Quaker of a Quaker marriage to John Hood

[BushInn1746]

Its this Coo Seal, whether Armorial or Not.

George Hood is confirming it is his Seal, in the wording adjacent to it.

You can see by the way his Will is written, George is covering himself, even the wording that each of his witnesses being present and that all have witnessed his signature together, appointing an Arbitrator and signing each page etc., to ensure his children now all benefit in death.

He wouldn't then go and use an unofficial Seal would he? He would use his Family Seal.

Been looking at Coo, one PCC Will was Christopher Coo 1741 leaving his Daughter Elizabeth a sum of money and his Son Christopher Coo his Estates.

Looking for and finding other Coos too.

What does this Scottish reference, say please?
En 1515, par exemple, des Ecossais sont capturés dans le Firth of Forth par le capitaine anglais Christopher Coo parce qu’ils saluent le bateau, qu’ils croient français, et se font repér (ARTHURSON, 1991 : 137).

Just a few thoughts.
 
Hitting brick walls everywhere we are also bizarrely missing in a Requisitions Register.

From my limited French it looks like the Scots/ish (Ecossais) were captured by the English captain Christopher Coo in the Firth of Forth

The rest not sure:  parce qu'ils = because they  (saluent ?)  salute the boat they thought was French, and were spotted .....

Dobfarm ~ I went through the Selby Quaker meeting book which ended at 1786 ( as luck would have it) just to see if there was any reference at all to Hood ~ nothing.

What happened to Selby Quaker records after that ?

Some at Leeds University library

Hi Claire

Thank you.

Been through page by page too of the 1780s, but since discovered from the Quaker Library, that Selby Quakers then came under York until c.1837. Then as dobfarm rightly says, Leeds University Special Collections (Brotherton).

Seems this Christopher Coo below (time of Henry VIII) was connected with the Navy / Admiralty ...

Small paper, p. 1. (277) Costs laid out for the Lezard by her captain. Signed: By me Cristofre Coo. Howard's order is dated 18 June. P. 1. (285–9) Account by Sir Thomas Wyndham of payments to the Trinyte, Mary Christopher and Mathewe, of Bristol, from 1 Feb. to 11 April 4 Hen. VIII. With Howard's warrants, dated 9 June 5 Hen. VIII., for these payments and two bills of particulars put in by the owners. The ships were taken up by Anthony Poyntz, esq., and payments received by John Shipman. Pp. 5.

Wondering if George Hood began life with the surname Coo.

For what its worth, to me George Hood's Seal is suggesting what the problem is, George Hood was a Coo, or whatever the Seal represents.

I wonder if George Hood was in the Royal Navy.

To find the records of lower Ranks and sailors, I'm told you need to know the name/s of the Ship/s first, that they served on, to find them in TNA, Kew?

Any possible Navy matches please Claire, for Hood?

Tried Navy before. But led to believe only the higher Ranks have surviving records for our period. The remainder are found by searching the Muster of the R.N. Ship itself.

The following only covered the ships in the Battle of Trafalgar and only about two months ago, they were saying that those personnel of the ships not involved in the Battle, were not on the database.


No George Hood listed in the Battle of Trafalgar (searched with age of 20 in 1805 -/+ 5 years)
