Hello
Thank you very much Claire, I'm astounded you linked in Pindar, because I cut the title off the "Abstract of Title of Mess'rs John Pindar & George Pindar to an Estate at Clementhorpe & Staddlethorpe in the Parish of Blacktoft in the County of York."
General CommentGot this feeling that my George Hood has many connections with people South and East of Selby - Marriage Bond; property dealings and possibly James Cookin / Cockin the Marriage witness and probably the George Hood in the Samuel Hirst of Kellington diaries.
Think we should see if anything of interest in this Will of the Rev William Hood (born Selby 1849) and the Cookin Goole Death Certificate when they arrive. Shame the GRO Death indexes don't tell us who was present, or reported a death.
James Cockin, summaries from some of the 33 Cockins saved, but some are B.T.s, so can't see all witnesses, or signatures.
James Cockin & Frances Corner, South Cave, 1789. [crosses by signature]
James Cockin & Martha Hargreave, Wath upon Dearne, by Banns 26th December 1786, signed James Coikin.
James Cockin & Mary Turr, Thorne, 2 August 1791, by Banns, James signed, but image B.T. Mary left mark per B.T.
James Son of William & Dorothy Cockin, Joyner, Doncaster, Bapt. 26 December 1786. B.T.
William Son of James & Ann Cockin, Abode Doncaster, Labourer, Bapt Doncaster 2 Oct. 1814, born 24 July 1814.
Thomas Pearson CockinThere was a Thomas
Pearson Cockin Sadler & Mary Ann Langford of this Parish by Licence, S. Moore Vicar, Doncaster 14 August? 1804 (I have P.R.)
8 September 1765 Thomas
Pearson Son of Joseph & Ann Cockin was baptised. Transcribed as Armthorpe by FindMyPast.
Regards Mark
EDIT
Jomot's research on Cockins, mentions Althorpe and a James Cockin
