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

[..claire..]

There is a George Hood enlisting in Manchester June 1800 for the Foot Guards, and from Knaresborough area, probably to early.

Just checking each entry as I get to them.

What do you think it says ?

EDIT: I think you could be right dobfarm. I can definitely see the last few letters, and the beginning of the first few.

A visit to see the original seal will only tell.

Thanks Claire and dobfarm

Now you have mentioned it dobfarm, I can see some lettering, but not awfully clear yet. I have already asked the archive concerned last week, about a high resolution close-up photograph. I'll chase up a price by telephone and pay.

Thanks dobfarm

I'm rather excited!

Where a family Crest is used by a Son, other than the first male Heir of that family, apparently the Crest and the Seal are varied and the bordure of the seal is treated differently to represent that?

It could signify a Branch of, or Cadet of that Family.

I see reference to Cadence in Scotland.

It could even be a pattern in the Border to indicate a Cadet of a family.

Spoke to the holder of the Will, who fortunately have specialised overhead scanning and camera equipment and they are looking at the best way to proceed, to see if they can capture a better image and a cost.

Thank you for your interest.

Kind regards Mark
