Also found a George Hood Gowring marrying Violet Burns Hutchinson, at Cheltenham in 1889, she is described in both newspaper extracts as the Great Granddaughter of Robert Burns.

Robert Burns died intestate in 1796.

EDIT: I made a couple of enquiries to those involved in Robert Burns history/research and waiting to hear.

Don't know where the Hood came from in - George Hood Gowring, but his father George James Gowring married at Sculcoates Church, according to newspapers.

Thanks, shall have to see if this quoted marriage is online at the Library and who the witnesses were?

Regarding that Robert Hood, we ruled him out, for some reason.

Regards Mark

[..claire..]

Regarding the Gowring family. They were London based. George James bpt 8 Jan 1823. Father: John William George Gowring and mother Elizabeth Ann.
Baptism at Newington St Mary, father a school master.

Have managed to trace the family back to the mid 1700s but not sure where the Hood comes into it.

All records are on Anc* LMA collection.

Thinking Rabbie Burns seems a bit narcissistic or smart dresser wanting his image on canvas being a few unknown images in 1941 in secretive close knit Quaker hands in very possible , Burns thinking this Thomas hood as a worthy person, and Quakers being close in their society of keeping things/possessions within in the family for historic reasons - FH of the family. Maybe worth spending a bit of time on Thomas's descendants as side line project research just for the fun of it. )(A known Hood who met Rabbie Burns) . Its also possible the painting came down a maternal wife's line ie :- Casson line. (seem wide spread Quakers ? )

Hello All

Thanks Claire and dobfarm

Thanks re the Gowring search, sounds like any link (if any), is not via Gowring.

Robert Burns was a dissenter, rebelling against the established church.

Burns was a Freemason.

Hopefully we'll know a bit more about Burns acquaintance Thomas Hood, when the other replies come back.

Speaking to my father about a possible Scottish link and he said our Hood origin was Scottish, but how far back/ when, is unknown.

Regards Mark


EDIT:
"Ackworth School was founded in 1779 by John Fothergill on behalf of The Religious Society of Friends ( Quakers) ... "
http://www.ackworthschool.com/about/history/


I wonder if this founder of Ackworth School John Fothergill was an ancestor of John Fothergill the Apothecary / Selby Registrar.

Grace Fothergill was the wife of William Hood of Kirkbridge.
I never discovered why, in 1844 Hood was the Petitioning Creditor in the John Fothergill of Selby, bankruptcy, e.g. family dispute, a settlement, or a debt.

Hi Claire

Thanks for that reply, that is absolutely brilliant!!

One of FOTHERGILLs mothers is of HOOD descent/linked?

Gafforth should read Yafforth.


WILLIAM HOOD, of Kirkbridge, co. York, and lord of the Manor of West Firsby, co. Lincoln, married Grace, daughter of Francis-Firby Fothergill,* of Aiskew, co. York, and granddaughter of William Frankland, of Trinity College, Cambridge, and lord of the Manor of Yafforth, co. York, and had issue,

I.    John, his heir, now of Nettleham.
I.    Elizabeth, married to Capt. J. A. Moore, R.N.
II.   Grace, married to William Danby, Esq., co. Lincoln.

* For the history of this ancient family see DRAKE’S History of York, published in 1736.


Fuller Hood descent here (Reply #3) ...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=753233.3


Wm Danby's son, rather than take the surname Danby, took his Grandfather's surname of Hood.

I wonder sometimes, if my George Hood has done something similar.

Still waiting for the Newcastle replies, though.
