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

[dobfarm]

Thomas Newham who was in partnership with James Hood was a butcher on his marriage cert. - butcher & dairyman in all the census.

Would a butcher have a sideline making candles ? Possibly a silent partner.

Or is the other Thomas Newham the man we want - although he was a shipowner and land agent in census.

Keep in mind Francis Hood of Pontefract (Knottingley)

Also George Hood apprentice indenture a butcher

[BushInn1746]

Thanks for replies

Apprentice George Hood, the Butcher (Morpeth), went on to become a Grocer and Innkeeper at Morpeth.

Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury, 15 April 1848 ...
At Morpeth on the 8th inst., aged 68, much respected, Mr George Hood.

His house was called Percy Court, he had an Inn called The Lord Hood and also Percy Cottage, Morpeth.

His Apprenticeship listing in IR 1 Tax paid on Apprentices (TNA, Kew) was with a Butcher, but he became a Grocer and Innkeeper.

EDIT
With Percy Court and Lord Hood, I wouldn't be surprised if Hood of Morpeth was linked to Henry Percy Earl of Northumberland?

 --------

Having said that, some Victuallers, were both the village Butcher and Publican.

Hi Mark

I thought it would be useful to just put down James and Sarah's  family for "tracking purposes"

Mary Ellen Hood b Selby 1853
Elizabeth Cook Hood b Selby 1854
Adeline Hood b Selby 1855
Sarah Hood b Selby 1856
John Wilkinson Hood b Selby 1858
William Russell Hood b Selby 1861  [born 1860, registered 1861]
James Alfred Hood b Sunderland  1863
George Arundel Hood b 1865 Selby
Bernard Pearson Hood b 1870 Scarborough

In the 1871 Census, Mary Ellen Hood is staying with a Dobson family in Bowling, Bradford and is stated as "cousin".  The head of household is Thomas Duckworth Dobson b 1829 Wakefield  and his wife Mary Ann b 1833 London, Middlesex.  Thomas Duckworth Dobson married Mary Ann Bateman in 1855 in Selby.

Hello

First of all I am very sorry, for dropping 'Mary Ellen Hood' from the list of James and Sarah Hood's children because ...

I've just noticed ELLEN was a surname and George Hood's Mother could also be:- nee ELLEN, or Miss [something] ELLEN.

Mary Ellen Hood's 1873 marriage notice is attached.

Regards Mark

Can anyone find anything on this couple - here is a transcript of a Faculty Office marriage licence, no town, county anything just the date and names

I can't find a marriage but wondered if there was an error with the grooms surname

Date of Licence: 7 Aug 1779

Mary ELLEN and William WOOD

Hi Claire

Thanks.

No town or County, sounds like the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, currently at Westminster.

1533 Ecclesiastical Licences Act, created the Court of Faculties, with a Judge presiding over it and administered by the Archbishop's comissarye.

Any reference number, record series, please?

Possibly a Special Marriage Licence.

I'll contact Lambeth Palace Archives, can you email me a screen print please?

If it is Hood, perhaps this might explain George Hood's odd Non-Quaker, Quaker burial?

Regards Mark

[..claire..]

Most of these Faculty Licences - marriages took place in London, but can't see anything in London or anywhere.

Will email on 

[..claire..]

Backtracking to John Hood - Ballast Hills, and Adam Hood etc.

Adam Hoods parents: James Hood and Isabella YOUNG

Baptism at Newcastle upon Tyne, St Nicholas. 13 July 1820 - Robert CANT Hood - son of John Hood and Barbara

Wonder if this is their marriage given the name of the witnesses : Hull 23 August 1809

Faculty Office

If one party to a marriage lived in the Province of York and the other in that of Canterbury then a license to marry could legitimately be obtained only from the Master of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The licenses issued by the Faculty Office are at Lambeth Palace Library.

Wherever the dividing border was between York and Canterbury (Derby area ? maybe)
either parties could live just either side of the border or the far extremities or one near the border and other at the far extremity.

Hi

I'm picking this up as I go along, but my Father knew someone who wanted to get married in an unregistered building and the two options were:-
a) Register the building for Marriages or
b) Apply for a Special Marriage Licence

A duly authorised Registrar of the State also had to be present.

 --------

Vicar General and Faculty Office Marriage Licence

Apart from the originals held by the Archives of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Society of Genealogists (SoG) have them on microfilm. Find my Past entered into an agreement with the SoG.

The Faculty Office and Faculty Court stems from an Act, when Henry VIII fell out with the Pope and Rome, and the Pope lost his administrative authority here.

I am wondering if some were issued for Roman Catholic Marriages.

I think dobfarm has mentioned previously that some Births* were just on slips of paper kept in a tin or box. [* edited to Births]

Families had their own Chapels like Hood of Bardon Park, Leicestershire. Other families had a Chapel room in their own house and some records are hard to find.

Not everyone believed in baptism at birth. The Quakers only have baby BIRTH records.

Dartington Hall, Devon and Walton Hall, Wellesbourne are two more examples that had a Chapel. Dartington Hall Churchyard has quite a few headstones of varying names.

 --------

Claire, did you also search the surname ELLEN and HOOD surnames only?

Some family naming sequences don't always use the forename and surname together.

Thank you all for your help and ideas, when stuck for so long, I appreciate all the suggestions.

Regards Mark


EDIT: Thanks dobfarm
