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

[BushInn1746]

Ten years earlier in 1871, Elizabeth Lloyd's birthplace was given as Whiston, Staffordshire.

[..claire..]

1901 - Beacon Hill - where are they ? ( Whiston & Beacon Hill)

[BushInn1746]

Image is definitely Congriff in 1881

1861 With parents 'surname' Moorcroft, born Penkridge.

1871 - born Whiston, Staffs.

1891 she is a widow born Pranbridge - which I'm presuming is Penkridge

1901 she is born Beacon Hill, Staffordshire - now living in Featherstone Yorks.

1911 born Penkridge

Whiston is about 0.75 of a mile North-West of Congreve, Beacon Hill is just South-west of Congreve, which are North-east of Stretton (Stretton is just North of A5, Watling St).

Whiston is about 1.5 Statute miles West and Stretton 3 Statute miles South-west of Penkridge Railway Station.

I wonder what this Elizabeth Lloyd is playing about at, she is giving her Birthplaces, including Congriff [Congreve] Staffordshire in the Census, more or less on, or near the road South-west of Penkridge toward Stretton. However, you say her nee name indicates her Birth in the Registration District of Burton upon Trent.


EDIT: Jomot believes there is some Hood connection with Congreve / Congrave and possibly the Manor House lands?

Hi Mark

I mentioned David Hood last week being a witness etc. I've followed him and his family through as has Jomot. I also said that I thought David & Thomas were likely cousins. I also believe there is a possibility that Joseph Hood bn 1812 may be Thomas's brother ( or cousin) given names of both of their children.

My take: There is a John Hood (in the Penkridge registers) - he has numerous children 1740-1759 - they all descend from this fella 😀

There is also in the Penkridge registers a marriage of a John HEAD, cooper in 1759 to a Tomsin Harris - which given the variation we saw in Yorkshire registers may be worth looking at too.

I wonder GH Scottish origins

Hello

Thanks dobfarm and Claire.

I have some questions please, in London, where Hannah Mary Hood born Selby 1850 (who married John Conway Curtis) and was known as Anna Mary Curtis lives. In 1885 she was a Hood witness (of 291 Camberwell Road, London) and John Conway Curtis (her late husband's) address was still the same in the 1901 Probate Index, despite his death at the Constance Road workhouse, East Dulwich, Surrey.

But I can't find the Curtis at the 291 Camberwell Road address in the Census?

 --------

Also wondering if the following might be related:-

John J. Lidle, 291 Camberwell Road, Baker, in 1880 (London Gazette)?

Also a Dairyman Mr Grove of the Dairy and A. M. Grove of Camberwell Green Dairy, 291 Camberwell Road, also seems to live (overlapping with the Curtis) at the same address, according to newspapers?

EDIT:
Just out of interest the Clerkenwell News and London Daily Chronicle 28 January 1871, is advertising a "Grocery Line" and particulars are available from "Mr. S., 291 Camberwell-road, S.E.; near the Green".

The contact was advertised a few times, just as "Mr S." followed by the address, so not a one off misprint.
