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

[BushInn1746]

Hello All

Thanks dobfarm and Goughy.

I read this and went to bed.

I awoke in the night whilst having a dream about Elizabeth Cook.

Elizabeth Cook had got pregnant and George Cook was baptised in Yorkshire. He was apprenticed as George Cook, but took Hood from his father after serving his time.

Funny, dreams, aren't they.

Think its time to do some decorating - If George is entering your dreams

For the purpose of elimination here's some surnames from Sarah's parentage (including step father Wilkinson)

Arundel - Grandparents:            George ARUNDEL and Hannah EYRE
               Grt grandparents:      Joseph EYRE and Hannah PYGOT
                                               Mathew ARUNDEL and Ann JACKSON

Wilkinson   "step" grandparents  Edward WILKINSON and Margaret TWIST
                    "gt  grandparents  John TWIST and Rebecca CRABTREE
                                                William WILKINSON and Jane ??

and just to put James' parentage here for future reference (obviously only from the Russell side)

Russell     Grandparents            William RUSSELL and Mary BURTON
               Gt grandparents         John RUSSELL and Martha HOTCHSON
                                              Edward BURTON and William SILVERWOOD

So......  the Cook and Pearson names are looking as though they are from GH's side of the family (unless they went totally off-piste!).

Naming children from grandparents, particularly female surnames,   etc is quite common and still goes on today.  Usually, the female  surnames point research "in the right" direction, but hey ho in the case of GH who  knows!!

Hi All

Been looking at some of the Scottish places, my Grandmother Hood took us to, as small children, often castles, defended places and other places in the middle of knowhere, some where battles were fought.

My Father was still adamant the other day, that we came from Scotland.

Hood, Pearson and Cook names, feature in the restoration of King Charles II.

Colonel Hood and Others under General Monck, came from Scotland in 1660.

Some Hoods are known to have settled at, or in the region of Northallerton, Co. of York.

Colonel Pearson was at Northallerton in 1659 ...

John Cook as the government Solicitor defended the traitors and ended up being hung.

I notice places attacked by General Monck in Scotland, I was taken to as a boy, my Father has many slides of me and my teddy bear, Sister, Mother and Grandmother Hood and Grandfather.

One photo is a derelict castle, near the Scottish coast, we tried to walk across fields to and I ended up being carried, with the others staying behind.

Was your grandmother herself (maiden name [not Hood]) from Scottish origins;- hence her interest in Scotland

My late Grandmother was born Leicester 1909 and won a Scholarship to the Grammar School, married my Grandfather Hood (former City Boys School pupil), becoming a Pensioned War Widow in WW 2 (before I was born). My late Grandfather Hood, descended from from his Gt. Grandfather George Hood, Leather Merchant, born Selby; who was Son of John Hood of Selby, Tanner; Son of the mysterious George Hood dying Selby 1845, grave unknown.

About 19 years later my Grandmother remarried, to a MacLachlan, his family ancestors fought at Culloden.

My Grandmother was a great pianist.

Places, I recall us being taken to, were:-

Fort William Inverlochy
Stirling Castle
Inveraray

General Monck attacked Dundee and Stirling in the 1650s, before heading into England.

Argyll had retired back to Inveraray previously and Inverlochy, but some letters written by Argyll to Monck were to prove his undoing and Argyll went to see Charles II, but was executed soon after in 1661.

I'll ring my Father and find out, the other places we went to?

Regards Mark

EDIT:  I'm afraid unless, we can turn something up, on our next visit to Yorkshire, George's ancestry will remain inconclusive! Having no known grave, is like a murder Detective, with no body.

Hello All

Found a Hood of Selby, Barber, on Ancestry, in the Catholic Landowners Return of Lady Petrie dated about 1720, a while ago.


Regarding these names of James and Sarah Hood's (Sarah Hood nee Arundel, alias Wilkinson) children and the Scottish suggestion of being Ancestors (three of the names match up to known Hood of Selby ancestors) ...
Elizabeth Cook Hood
John Wilkinson Hood
William Russell Hood
James Alfred Hood
George Arundel Hood
Bernard Pearson HOOD


Discovered in the early 18th Century that there was an Isaack Bernard and wife Mary living in an adjacent property to Richard Peirson, at Selby.


Is there an Isaack Bernard, listed in the Catholic Landowners Return of circa 1720 for Selby, please?


Couldn't find any 'Bernard' surname in the Selby Parish Register transcriptions.

Thanks, Mark
