Wonder if William Hood ( died Catwick) was W Hood Heptons father?

Is his signature on the Will ? We could compare it to the Wm Hood who witnesses Heptons marriage - it looks to be written by a neat hand.

1851 census -  William Hepton is a widower and house servant in the home (farm) of William Hood

Hi Claire

This is very interesting information!

Always had a feeling about Todd (don't know why) being linked to a Yorkshire HOOD (although 1851 is a bit late), because Todd of Selby had a Tannery at Selby earlier and my Ancestor John Hood and Widow Sarah Hood at Selby run a Tannery after Todd.

I managed to buy a small box of early 20th Century Todd Family papers of Selby and elsewhere (which refer back) for my collection, which I very briefly summarised to be helpful and in case someone like me has question/s ...

In the light of some new names, I'll look at them again.

Thank you, Mark

Something else I spotted

When Mercy Hepton married - there was a witness David SMALES.

William Hood Hepton died in the 1860's. In both the 1871 & 1881 census his widow Christiana Hepton is in the home of a John Smales ( & his wife Rebecca) he was aged 68 - transcribed as sister in law.

[BushInn1746]

George & Sarah Hoods children, Geo & Sarah's first names are lower in the order.

1816 William
1819 John
1822 Mary
1824 George
1826 Richard
1828 James
1830 Ellen
1835 Sarah

First Girls name MARY (1822)

First Boys name WILLIAM (1816)

 --------

Sarah RUSSELL     parents          William RUSSELL and Mary BURTON
                        grandparents         John RUSSELL and Martha HOTCHSON

 --------

Provided George & Sarah Hood, both did not have a William for a Father and both did not have a Mary for a Mother, then the forename naming pattern suggests George Hood's parents were:-

John and Ellen
John Hood and Ellen - Marriage perhaps?

Or if both had one parent with the same forename (and if they were naming according to a sequence/pattern):-
William Hood and Ellen or
John Hood and Mary

 --------

Under Hardwicke's Marriage Act persons wanting to marry, had to marry in a C of E Church, except Quakers and Jews who had their own Lawful arrangements. (Possibly those who had Special Licences were excepted from marrying in a C of E church?)
Roman Catholics who refused to marry in a C of E church could not always formally marry, it seems? Some RC couple unions must be under the radar and recorded only in Catholic Registers? Suggesting no Marriage Allegation or Bond with the C of E authorities either?

Iffy but has some substance.

Bearing mind we know very little about George Hood Selby pre 1812 or his marriage 1815 Selby

(My dad was same age as mum at marriage, till the truth came out when he had to work another 3 years  past the date mum thought he would retire !! at retiring aged 65 being 3 years young than mum.  )

Could George have lied about his age to Sarah Russell and kept up the lie to his family even till his death age 60 believed by the informant reporting his death on the certificate 1845 Selby ?

Reasonable reason he lied

George may have lied about his age to give more years experience to his occupation, as a cooper to acquire to rent Richard Gibson's cooper building(s) in Wren lane and kept up the white lie through is life in Selby.

Your family thought your Hood's had Scottish roots

Hello

Thank you for replies.

I did see that Scottish one, but if first name naming patterns have been used (above), ages are to be believed and the middle names of James and Sarah Hood's children (discussed previously) are anything to go by, then it looks doubtful.

Thank you, Mark

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?


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).

Frances STEARS was a Quaker and a Witness on the Maudland HOOD and CharlesTurner 1794 Marriage at Selby.


1821
Mark HOOD of YORK Apprentice to Samuel STEERS of the said City Music Seller.



46 Geo III (1806)
Parish of A Saints Sareme Militia
HOOD Mark , Music Seller, 21 yrs.

I wonder if Samuel STEERS of York, Music Seller, had links to the STEARS who were Quakers?

There must be a circa 1785 Birth or Baptism somewhere for Mark Hood?
