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

[dobfarm]

Well that has put the cat amongst the pigeons 

My Granddad was baptised in Wales village near Rotherham Yorkshire 1867, by 1868 his father had moved to Bolsover in Derbyshire and always thought he was born in Derbyshire by censuses.

Thus John Hood publican Ship inn Gateshead could have moved pubs to Knaresborough

George Hood bapt 1786 Gateshead father John Hood

Right I've found a couple baptising children in Sessay ( modern day mapping 18 miles from Knaresborough - without using that - 12 miles.

Richard Hood married Mary Clark by licence 1770 Cundall ( he was from Kirby Wiske on the marriage)

Children baptised in Sessay: George 1779, Ann 1783, Eleanor 1787, Hannah 1785, Jane 1790, Sarah 1791.

If he was from Knaresborough - I can't see a baptism. Nothing else in the area that I can see.

The guy enlisting in the Foot Guards in your post is definitely the guy from Bonden - the dates match with his service record which I've checked. This GH from Bonden would be 10 years older. So it really is a stretch. But I can't find a baptism - I don't even know where Bonden is - the enlistment paper says Knaresborough ( is it somewhere near there - you are the Yorkshire man dobfarm gimme a clue

Thanks for the replies.

"Sgt George Hood of Bonden of the 1st Foot Guards 1800-1814 (previously 2nd West Yorks 1793 -1800) was discharged 8 Sep 1814.  His previous trade was weaver, he was 5'9 and a half, sallow complexion, dark hair and light brown eyes, about 40 years of age."

Sorry to poor cold water on this. He is about 40 in 1814 and a different trade, a Weaver.

Some considerable time was spent here, for reference ...

My George Hood's Age
I'm fairly confident that my George Hood's 28 years of age (16 May 1815 on Bond or Alleg too), is a death in his 60th year on 18 September 1845 (possibly 59 years of age). I've seen a few newspaper Obits where it was said in his / her 50th; 60th or 80th year etc.

1841 Census
It is bad for Family Historians, this rounding down (of up to nearly 5 yrs) on the 6th June 1841 Census, but 54 years and 11 Months, down to 50 yrs, could give 59 years in 1845.


Navy
A copy of the Navy record will take some weeks.


John Hood buried Ballast Hills NC Burial Ground (mentioned in 1827 book)
This is awaited soon.


George Pearson of Pit and Pearson, Selby, Wine Merchants

The dissolution of their Partnership in 1838 (snippet Image a few posts back). My Selby Parish Transcriptions from earliest to 1812, don't have even one George Pearson recorded, but quite a few George Pearson deaths later, in the District of Selby:-

Free BMD Sep 1837 to Dec 1880 (age GRO)
1846 aged 33.
1855 aged 63.
1858 aged 83.
1867 aged 16 (George Edward Pearson)

Possibly worth looking at?

This could possibly be him

Married by licence Selby Abbey

George Pearson a merchant from Abberford married Ann Watson 30 May 1822

Witnesses: Edw. Watson, E R Watson, Mary Watson and Mary Pearson

EDIT: 1846 death of a George P was 33 buried Selby.

[..claire..]

Baptised a son William Watson Pearson in 1823. Occupation a merchant.

1851 census the family are in the Hambleton area of Selby - George Pearson is now a commercial traveller of 'stuffs & Woolen goods' - well that's what it looks like.

George Pearson dies in 1855 - left £5000 in his Will.

Born in Aberford 1791 -to parents Thomas and Sarah Pearson.

Wonder if this could be him  the occupation is putting me off.

Thanks dobfarm and Claire

Nothing further required Claire on this particular George Pearson at the moment, thank you.

I've got Hoods at South Otterington (in 1840).

Since I've started looking for possible Hood/s of mine, Hoods are cropping up everywhere 1780 - 1851.
