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

[BushInn1746]

GH is certainly pushing the boundaries with us isn't he 

Was Sarah Russels mother the one that married the Goldsbrough man ?

Found a Thomas Goldsbrough as an executor in a Will ( Thomas Tarbottom of Selby innkeeper) -his wife Elizabeth being a beneficiary.

And a Thomas Goldsbrough in the Navy musters on board the Royal Oak in 1781 -  that's the ship the other George Hood is on in the records we've seen ?

A nearby Lane has a Bin lorry do 3 houses on one side and our Council Bin lorry does the couple of houses on the other side, because town boundaries run down the middle.

Perhaps Madam Hood gave birth on a boundary

In those days the most direct travel to the nearest church by road was not always in the same parish or county, applying more in winter from a place of abode and not unusual to find entries in PR's with abode cross boundary,

Hello

Thanks Claire and dobfarm.

Since Henry VIII (from circa 1533), at least Three Special Licences were applied for, involving a HOOD, what dates and who were they, please?

Might be worth trying aliases HUDD and HODD too (sometimes both ending E).


Owing to the Two Months 1815 marriage delay between the Selby Court Bond date & Marriage date it might be worth trying RUSSEL and RUSSELL too.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark

Before 1755 the Vicar General issued 77 licences to surname Hood & variants

After this date through the Faculty Office 344 were issued.

From the transcripts how can we determine which were 'special licences'

Can you give us some examples of what you've found

Right,found one:

Selina Hood married Francis Mason ( Captain of the Ratler sloop) at Catherington Hampshire 16 April 1805.

Selina Hood was baptised 18 September at Catherington, parents Henry Hood ( Hon. Colonel) and Jane. Selina was also the Grandaughter of Lord Viscount Hood.

Wondering if Henry is the one that married Jane Wheler by licence at St Michaels Coventry 10 September 1774.

The surname Wheler seems familiar with the Hood surname.

Hood of Bridport:

Sir Alexander Hood married Mary Sophia Bray by special license at St Marylebone, London 26 June 1788, her being only heir of Thomas Bray of Edmonton.

Worth noting he married three times and left no issue.

Firstly to Maria West daughter of Richard D.D. Prebendery of Durham

Thirdly to Elizabeth daughter and co-heir of John Sadlier

Hi Claire

It was on Soc. of Genealogists website, searching Hood.
http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records

Whilst searching for info about the Faculty Office, the SoG seem to have a lot of HOOD search returns now.

Some of these Special License applications, for an application to Marry, took place in private chapels and houses.

 --------

Wondering if the surnames, in middle names of James Hood's children might be the other party in some.

I'm looking again at Scotlands People Marriages. The only familiar John Hood, was the John Lionel Hood of Newcastle marriage in Scotland, I've more forenames to try.

Regards Mark

I think it rather depends where the couple chose to marry - I've read that if a marriage took place away from a church the minister may never have entered or possibly forgot to enter details into the register.

If we do find any that piques interest - we will find it if it exists.

Will check known surnames against Hood, there was an early Hood/Russell marriage - did clock that when looking.

Hi

Thanks Claire, been thinking today about Richard Taylor's comments, that his line (from James Hood), seemed to think we moved about. George Hood's Son James Hood moved about.

We have only come across two Mariners, both John Hood, one married a Gibson. The other Jane Hood (buried Aug 1803 Selby), her nee surname unknown.
