Thomas Hood - Born c.1803 STRETTON STAFFORDSHIRE?

[BushInn1746]

Thanks for all these replies Jomot and Claire, I'm now trying to digest them and other information sent.

Yes, Claymills is at Stretton, Burton upon Trent.

Think I need to concentrate on Hood and Hudd (rather than Hurd).

 --------

Regarding James and Sarah Hood of Selby (Son of, George Hood married Selby 1815), one of the middle names of their Children was PEARSON.

Just noticed this, sent to me from Claire 2 days ago ...
"Have found some interesting marriages in the early Penkridge registers.

A John Hood husbandman marries in 1774 ( cannot write)

Widower John Hood remarries in 1780 to an Ann PEARSON ( both leave their mark)

This man buries quite a few children .

It's as far as I've got."

Like everyone else I'm unable to find a baptism for Thomas, but note that a David Hood was a witness to Thomas's marriage to Mary Poynor and was also baptising children at the same church.  David was a Forgeman at the potteries and one of the baptisms gives his wife's maiden name as Tomlinson.

The 1851 census gives his age as 62 & born Congrave - possibly Congreve, which Wikipedia tells me is a manor house and its former land in Penkridge.

Baptism: 24 Apr 1790 Penkridge, David Hood s/o Joseph
Marriage: 14 Apr 1811 Rugeley, Staffs. David Hood & Sarah Tomlinson

The same couple named a son Thomas:
28 May 1820, Burton on Trent, Thomas s/o David & Sarah Hood, Clay Mills, Forgeman.

It would seem reasonable to assume that David & Thomas are related - possibly brothers or cousins.

Hello Jomot

Good to hear from you and thank you for this information.

Claire and dobfarm seem to have got this back on the West Yorkshire board, rather than keep it altogether here.

dobfarm has found in the 1851 Census at Stretton, a John Hood, Father, Widower, aged 77, Forgeman, born Congriff, Staffordshire.


I found an Elizabeth Lloyd, born Congriff Staffordshire (for birthplace comparison) born about 1843 in the 1881 England Census. In 1871, her birthplace is given as Whiston and Claire says other Census years she has Whiston, Congriff, Beacon Hill and Penkridge.


Found these places between Penkridge and Stretton, Staffordshire and Congriff (in the Census) is probably Congreve, which fits in with your Manor House lands. Map attached.

All I posted on the Yorkshire board was ---


CONGREVE seems most likely being Stretton village, and Stretton Hall are near

A bit more on the John Hood who married the Ann Pearson.

There is a burial for an Ann wife of John Hood in 1787.

He had numerous children including a George who was buried 1778 and a William buried 1782.

Sarah & Elizabeth Bapt. 1782
John Bapt 1783
Mary Bapt 1785

Here is a BT of Thomas Hood & Mary Poynors marriage.

Sons John Hood & George Hood.

Hello

I wonder if there is any Apprenticeship record for this David Hood, late of Wolverhampton, please?

This 1810 Probate Abstract only confirms that Jane Hood was an Executrix.

I wonder if Jane Hood was his wife though?

Family Search 1700 to 1810 is giving two marriages amongst the first results (but no occupations):-
David Hood & Jane Richardson, St Mary, BEVERLEY, Yorkshire, 13 June 1773.
David Hood & Jane Tilly, St Matthew's BETHNAL GREEN, Middlesex, 3 March 1762.

Regards Mark

Baptism of son George in 1793 Wolverhampton confirms David's wife was a Jane.

The David Hood that married in Beverley was a joiner when he married.

I'm thinking the other marriage in 1762 Bethnal Green may be too early given the baptism of George in 1793. Cannot see a baptism for a John Hood, yet.

If this George Hood was also born about 1793 around the time of his baptism, he would be too young to be my George.

Hello

I have been looking high and low, for any place, including out of county, for a place called CONGRIFF.

The nearest and only one I can find is Congrieff in the Lands database in the National University of Ireland - Galway.

Congrieff in the Townland of Corgrig;
Civil Parish of Robertstown;
Barony of Shanid;
County Limerick.

HOOD of County Mayo
http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/family-show.jsp?id=654

I have also acquired Irish documents of another area, where a John Hood and James Hood had their Farm on Lease in the 19th Century and for the life of HRH Prince Alfred.
EDIT: George Hood (owner). The date when John & James Hood took over the Lease, is too late.

I have also wondered if some of these untraceable HOODs were Irish immigrants.

Hopefully we'll find these Hoods in Estate correspondence.


There is also a place called Congreve House, home of Mr James Attwood, Esq., in 1819. His Son was Mr J. A. Attwood.
