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

[..claire..]

Morning All,

Both sites I've looked at can't decide on Hirlew or Kirlew. Either way, my guess she is Sarah Hood nee Richardsons Aunt.

Sarah's mother was Mary Blenkin.

Martha Blenkin bn 1795 Hemingborough married at Hemingborough in 1820

Martha Blenkin mar. John Kirlew brickmaker & widower 11 October 1820
He signed she left her mark.
Witnesses: John & William Blenkhorn & Mary Pacey.
******************

William Hood Heslington:

I can see the Carr family quite easily in the registers. The other family Hullah - not so easy.
There was an earlier Hood family here which had a son William but he died young. I'm thinking this William going by his age may possibly have been born in York going from the age on burial - and possibly some relation to these earlier Hoods who married at the same church as another Hood family who baptised a son ( William) which would fit with this man.
Needs more work on this branch though.

Martha Hirlew, Visitor, 1871 Selby Census[/u]

This Martha Hirlew is a Visitor to Sarah Hood (nee Richardson), but I have only found a possible Hurlow a Quaker, but a bit early, but wondered please if there might be some Hood link to her family previously?

Newspapers have few Hirlews in England and the others are in Irish newspapers.

RG 10 (1871)
Sarah HOOD, Head, W, 51, Born Selby.
Martha HIRLEW, Visitor, W, 78, No Occupation, Born Selby.

Hi Mark

I think this is Martha KIRLEW (we've looked into her before).  She was Martha Blenkin and married John Kirlew in Hemingbrough in 1820.  I don't think we found any Hood link.

EDIT - we must have hit the button at the same time Claire

Hi Claire and Goughy

Thank you.

Oops! Sorry for going over old ground re Hirlew alias Martha Kirlew.

William HOOD 1807 of Heslington & CARR
According to the Yorkshire Archaeological Service (Y.A.S.) document catalogue descriptions PDF

https://library.leeds.ac.uk > YAS_MD217

Francis Carr was a Land Agent of Heslington and go back some time. In 1852 he was admitted to the Manor of Dunnington.

Dunnington was where Wells Hood, the Wine & Spirit Merchant of York, was born, linked to Richard Hood (alias spelling Hurd).

Regarding the surrendering of Catholic Registers to the Registrar General in 1837 & 1857, The National Archives make this comment ...
"Perhaps so few catholic registers were surrendered because they contained records of illegal marriages; between 1754 and 1837, under the terms of Lord Hardwicke’s Marriage Act, it was a legal requirement to marry in the Church of England."
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/catholics/

I believe only Quakers and Jews were the first to be exempted.

I wonder if the mystery Jane buried 1803 (described as John Hood's Wife) who we presumed married John Hood of Selby, Mariner, married John Hood in a Catholic Church?

Hello

The Catholics were being persecuted or despised by the State and some forbidden from owning their own property (by inheritance), holding offices, such as a Lawyer etc. and this was still going on throughout most of the 18th Century and they did not get more relief from restrictions until as late as 1829.

Papists Act 1778 - First Act for Roman Catholic Relief.
Roman Catholic Relief Act 1791 - granted toleration for their schools & places of worship.
Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 - Act came about, after the repeal of Penal Laws.

"Relief", refers to the removal of restrictions upon Catholics.

 --------

In the early 18th Century Lady Petre at Selby was forced to declare her Lands at Selby and she also names one Hood, a Barber. I am wondering if this Hood at Selby was Catholic.

 --------

My late Grandfather's, late Brother's family have been in touch claiming that they have found a Samuel Hood buried at Selby as late as 17 July 1780 (before the recorded Parish burial of Jane Hood in 1803).

There is no record in the Selby Abbey (the State, Church of England) Parish Register transcriptions of a 1780 Hood burial.

I shall have to write a letter and see if we can visit these Catholic records at Selby and check if there are any Hoods amongst them.

 --------

I have only managed to buy part of Yorkshire transcribed (by John P Perkins & Pauline M. Litton, 1990) Returns of Papist 1767: Diocese of Chester which covers only North-West Yorkshire.

HOOD Anne, age 60, Widow of Thomas, Barber, Resident 20 years, Township or Place - Richmond

The Catholic Registers of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor 1744-1840 Copied from the Catholic Record Miscellanea IV (1907)
At Beverley Archives, they only seemed to have the photocopy index to the record (the index was a book in itself) and I recorded ...
Index p.472
Hood John, 372.

So it seems there are some Hood Catholics dotted about in Yorkshire.

Hello

1861 Census
Found a Charles Hood aged 53, born Walkington Yorkshire (about 1808) with a PEARSON Niece and Nephew, on Ancestry.

1841
Charles Hood and Ruth Hood (born Skipsea) are at Skipsea, Brough, in 1841, where there is also a James Hood aged 10, in the household of Paul Pearson aged 60 (on the left Census page).


Be interesting if it went back to the COOK or other spare surname we have?


But there does not seem to be a Baptism/Birth on Ancestry, for Charles Hood to check out his parentage?

Regards Mark
