Hello

Regarding Berlin Wool and Fancy Goods ...

The vintage Kirriemuir website has some postcard views of 1910, or posted 1910 ...

Probably a coincidence.

David Hood - Probably nobody of interest.

Just that a Hood might be linked to the Berlin Wool business elsewhere in the UK.

Mark

[BushInn1746]

The Berlin Wool Fair was held in Berlin

"German dealers, speculators, and small manufacturers were very active in buying." English bought more here than at other Fairs, according to Louis Bernard, "Sworn Broker and Taxator at the Royal Bank, Berlin."

However, a few years later in 1846 the British Chancellor of the Exchequer was considering whether to apply an import duty to Berlin Wool, but decided to apply a tax due to its Luxury cloth status.

Looks like my 3 X Gt. Grandmother Sarah Hood was one of many UK businesses, selling Berlin Wool, cloth and Embroidery Patterns etc., from Berlin?

Hello All

Thanks Claire for the reply.

I'm hoping that developments in the last 24 hours regarding George Hood's past (buried in the Selby Quaker Burial Ground as "Not in Membership"), will show the first signs of a few cracks!


Maudland Hood

One of the witnesses at Maudland Hood's Wedding at Selby 27th November 1794 was Frances STEARS.

After searching Family Search again, there is a possibility that witness Frances Stears, might be a Quaker?

[ADDED: Frances Stears Witness at Maudland Hood's 1794 Marriage at Selby was proven to be the same Frances Stears in other Quaker documents - by Signature comparison]

Frances Stears to Richard Yarwood 4th February 1796

For the Stears = Yarwood marriage Family Search are quoting Quaker references:-
RG 6/785 (TNA cat - says Yorkshire QUARTERLY Meeting - Marriages Soc. of Friends' Registers)
and
RG 6/857 (TNA cat - says York - MONTHLY Meeting - Marriages Soc. of Friends Registers).


Frances Yarwood, aged 83, is recorded as a Quaker at death, Hull.

 --------

Maudland Hood's Father was John Hood of Selby, Mariner (late of Scarborough, where Maudland Hood's birth and Baptism dates are recorded - St Mary's).

Thomas Stears - Death 1862

Wondered if this Thomas Stears might be a possible Brother, to the Quaker Frances Stears please in the Quote above?

May 26, at Centreville, North America, aged 87 years, Mr Thomas Stears, late of Florence, and formerly of Waxholme, Yorkshire, England. Hull Packet, 20th June 1862.


Internet information had this USA Thomas Stears, a Quaker with suggested links to Harrison and Jackson.

I've got Yorkshire HOOD Will notes mentioning Jackson and Harrison surnames.

In the book a Jane Simpson, Todd, Richardson, Hull and Sculcoates, nr Hull, are all mentioned too!

The author seems to be linking some (suggestions) without making a documentary link?

Thanks Mark

May 26, at Centreville, North America, aged 87 years, Mr Thomas Stears, late of Florence, and formerly of Waxholme, Yorkshire, England. Hull Packet, 20th June 1862.

Thanks Mark

Thank you Claire

It is the link to that book and the connections that the author is making with Harrison, Stears and the familiar surnames at HULL and Sculcoates (which could just as easily be Selby surnames, some possibly even related to Selby families) and the HOOD Will with Harrison.

The two HOOD Wills with Jackson and the Jackson Selby Tannery (occupied by Mrs Hood) are added for supplementary to keep it all together (and a secondary question), in case the whole lot might link up to each other.

It is mainly who Stears has links to, in the book link, of primary concern?

Mark

Thomas STEARS married Elizabeth HARRISON

Marriage not online but they married by licence in Sigglesthorne 12 Oct 1809.

***Updated***

Thank you Claire,

Sigglesthorne and Bewholme Nunkeeling (Thomas & Mary Stears residence 1796), are near Hornsea.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=756955.msg6283433#msg6283433

Waxholme (in Thomas Stears, Obit, 1862) is down the coast near Withernsea.

 --------

Sigglesthorne is near Catwick / Leven (William & Richard Hoods Manor Estate & Farm)
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol7/pp255-261

Internet -  "1796.0801 William Hood Hepton bap Catwick illeg son Mercy H."

Hood Hepton was apparently ILLEGITIMATE and somebody is claiming William Hood Hepton as a Hebden, not Hepton?

William Hood's March 1852 Catwick Will (copied into the Will Register - Borthwick) does say William HOOD HEPTON. Richard Hood's Brother was Wells Hood of York, also a Wine & Spirits Merchant!

 --------

I wonder if there is another Hood link somewhere to Harrison / Stears?

Also wondering how HOOD HEPTON fit in?

Mark
