3)  I cannot find a burial for Jane Wardale alias Jane Wardell (nee Hood).

EDIT: one small paragraph should read:-

Some Quaker BARTON of Scarborough died further afield.

Also John Spencer of Scarborough, Grandfather of Maudland Hood (who married Charles Turner 1794 at Selby) might have married Mary Barton at Scarborough in 1717.

Hi Mark,

Lets assume that George Hood born 1786 ish was connected to the Selby family of John Hood and Maudland Hood (later Mrs Turner) both originally of Scarborough, but what! brought George to Selby was because John or Maudland told George of the Richard Gibson cooper business was going to be up for sale cheap because of Gibson's bankruptcy and George was based in Scarborough originally.

John Hood b 1737 ish Scarborough being a mariner would travel to Scarborough frequently to carry news, from Selby, his religion seems his family was mainly C of E from parish register events, but George's side of the Scarborough Hood family branch could have been associated with non-conformist religions partly or fully in Scarborough and not Selby

Hello Dave

If George Hood was related to John Hood, Mariner & Maudland Turner (nee Hood) of Scarborough, but latterly of Selby, I feel he may have been with them, and/or John Hood perhaps all of the time at Selby, Yorkshire, saving up his earnings to set out in life.

Land Tax

The Selby Land Tax, only names a fraction of the inhabitants of Selby.

Some properties have no Occupier listed in the Land Tax document.

If an Occupier is listed, it was only the main Occupier and takes no account of other males nor females in the family, nor if the named Tax payer then sub-lets.

The National Archives have a pdf article about the Land Tax (found on Google).

The Land Tax 1692-1963

Not a Catholic myself, but my word this is a bit of discrimination! ...

Roman Catholics paid double tax until an act of 1794 allowed them to appeal against overpayment.

1811 Selby District Population

In 1811 in the Selby District, Yorkshire, there were just over 30,000 residents.

Hi Mark

How it reads to me,

This act 1794 could be useful if John Hood or other surnames of interest in places of interest to rule tax payers  in or out as Roman Catholics. before 1794 in their beliefs.

-----

Going back to Scarborough, with Martha Dean circa birth 1736 and now Elizabeth Spencer later Leppington/Hood marriages circa birth 1737 and her father John Spencer unfindable at the moment in C of E parish registers-  then missing or not yet found nonconformist registers seem a likely answer and if George Hood born circa 1786 lived in Scarborough was a nephew of John Hood of Selby from a nonconformist branch of Hood's, likely Quakers also bearing in mind where George was buried in Selby - To marry Sarah Russell George my have changed faith to C of E.

Hello Dave and All

I was thinking on the lines that George Hood, called "George Hood of Selby" in the several Deeds seen and Deed Memorials obtained, that he had always resided at Selby, Yorkshire.

John Hood, Mariner, could even be his Father and I suspect his "Wife" looked after George at Selby.

Possibly bad news regarding John Spencer of Scarborough, unless he was not involved in either of these:-

April 1745, Two English Newspapers
The William and Mary, Spencer, ... is lost in the Humber.

1746, 26th December
John Spencer

26th December 1746

Deanery Amounderness
Probate Index Archdeaconry of Richmond

Place "Lancaster & the Sarah & Mary of Lancaster Who Clie, Amounderness, Cumberland & Lancashire & Westmorland & Yorkshire, England"

Mark


2nd ADD: published February-March 1746.
The Sarah and Mary, belonging to Lancaster, was captured 8th May 1745 by the St Joseph and the Lavalur, two ships belonging to St. Malo heading for Newfoundland. It seems Captain Weldon, of Dublin, was taken to Newfoundland, then to Cadiz where he was ransomed, then taken by the Zepher. But was set at liberty on a Portugal ship, because he also held a French Passport.


ADDED: One of the Baptisms found might be Elizabeth Spencer (excluding South Kirkby) I would need the Will to check that, but too early to link any Hood ...
