Hello
Claire, the 1945 letter written by J. W. Chapman of Doncaster and Scarborough deals mainly with James Hood's children, then on page 2 refers to a mystery WINIFRED HOOD who did not marry.
Page 1 of the 1945 Letter basically says:-
Nellie Hood married my Uncle Arthur Chapman, [so this was Mary Ellen Hood in 1873]
Elizabeth Hood married J. B. Sugars. [Elizabeth Cook Hood]
Adeline Hood married a Mr Featherstone. [Married 1885]
Sally Hood, married, died about 20 years ago and was buried in Doncaster [Sally = Sarah Hood married Wm Oswin 1894. Sarah of Balby died 1919].
Page 2 "I understand there was also a daughter Winifred Hood who did not marry, and the last I heard of her was that she was residing in Harrogate, but my informant does not know her address."
--------
Is this the mystery Hood relative living in Harrogate, to which J. W. Chapman (Nephew of Arthur Chapman) a Hood relative is referring back to ...
