HOOD of Selby & COOKE Link - Possible Breakthrough!!

[BushInn1746]

Hello

When Alfred William HOOD born Selby, signed the 1911 Census at Hull and his original Will (written in 1939) held by the Probate Registry the signatures matched each other, but not HOOD's Witness signature when Fannie Adolphine COOKE of 50 Parker Street, Warrington (Father Charles COOKE, Schoolmaster) Married Colin SIMS, Schoolmaster at Warrington, Holy Trinity, 20th August 1892.

Therefore, I wondered if the earlier signature in 1886 of Alfred William HOOD (Residence Warrington) Marriage to Edith SCAUM at Brayton, would match.

1886 & 1892 Alfred William Hood, Signatures Match
The 1886 Marriage at Brayton is now online of William Alfred HOOD (Residence Warrington) to Edith SCAUM and I am very happy his earlier 1886 signature was different and the H in Hood is a match to his witness signature on the SIMS to COOKE 1892 Marriage at Warrington.

It does look like I have a link to a COOKE. Father Charles COOKE, Schoolmaster & witness Clarisse COOKE on the 1892 Marriage at Warrington, so will be looking into the ancestry of this COOKE family.

James HOOD of Selby named his children with middle surnames (most denote family ancestry) and one with a COOK middle name, remains unconfirmed.

 ------------

Although the late Alfred William HOOD is a different line to me, we both share the same ancestor - the mystery George Hood of Selby who Married Sarah Russell at Selby in 1815.

Basil Hood Taylor - A known Hood Ancestor Link to Me
Basil Hood Taylor lists a Legacy to a Dr. Bessil E. Cook, 14 Armthorpe Lane, Doncaster.

Dr Bessie Evelyn Cook M.B., Ch.B. 1923, V.U. Manc., 14 Armthorpe Lane, Doncaster (listed 1943) who appears to have qualified at Manchester.  Registered 24th December 1923.


The lineage of Dr Bessie Evelyn Cook traces back to Henry Cooke & Elizabeth Ellis who married at Rotherham in 1827. [Elizabeth Cooke nee Ellis, was born Greasbrough per Census].
Witnesses:- Harriot PARKINSON and Joseph JAMES.

1882
The transcription on the Memorial of Ellis Cook aged 48, also mentions others including his Mother, Elizabeth Cook who died 1877 aged 70 years.


1841
Henry Cook's Widow [presumed], Elizabeth Cook aged 30, In. born Y in the 1841 Census was residing at Bradgate, Kimberworth, Yorkshire with Thomas Cook aged 11; Olive Cook aged 9; Ellis Cook 7 and Henry Cook aged 5 (all born Yorkshire).

1835
Unfortunately Henry Cooke, Abode Bradgate, aged 32, seems to have been buried in June 1835 at Rotherham, before the Census!

1802
Possible parents[?] and Baptism of Henry Cooke at Rotherham Minster 5th December 1802 for Henry Cook might be Thomas and Hannah Cooke of Bradgate.

 ----------

This unconfirmed origin of George Hood of Selby (died & buried Selby September 1845) is a real pain!


Can any Rootschatters work some magic please?

Good Morning

Still trying to work out why Alfred William Hood born Selby, was a witness at the 1892 Fannie Adolphine Cooke (Parents nee Adolphine Maria Frederica Hombourg & Charles Cooke) to Colin Sims wedding (Father John Sims, Moulder / Iron Moulder)

Now got back on the Sims in the 1851, 1841 Census and to circa 1800, but no apparent wedding. I will look again at that.

Looking at one Sims middle name, the link might / might not be Marshall.

 -----------

Dr Kraetzer Rassaerts and Arele' or Orele' Hombourg were witnesses at the earlier 1862 Charles Cooke to Adolphine M. F. Hombourg wedding.

1841
M. Kraetzer Rassaerts, of Hesse Darmstadt, has just published on a broad sheet a statistical, geographical, and genealogical table of the Germanic Confederation, with the arms of the thirty-four princely families, the ...

Claire reckoned according to the 1861 Census that Dr Kraetzer Rassaerts and Hombourg were Cousins

(This 1861 Census is not available on FindMyPast )


Hesse - Homborg Lg. An Lg [Landgrave] is some type of German Duchy.

 ----------

The Hoods of Dumfries, also living at Drypool / Somercotes, in the District of Sculcoates and later James Goldie Hood of Hessle are linked to the surname of Goldie, Bowes and possibly Douglas of Scotland.


The Inglis surname (Inglis Goldie on the Will of Thomas Hood Bentley, with Cook ancestry of North Shields Northumberland a native of Gt Yarmouth) has also cropped up again.

 ----------

The only certain thing is, I seem to acquire a few dead ends, Matthew Parkinson Cooke was adopted.
