What happened to Betsy Hood (Hodd) bapt Scarborough UK 1802?
« on: Tuesday 15 August 23 18:08 BST (UK) »
I am interested in Mary Hood and her Sister, Betsy to see if they had any contact with other Hood of Yorks familes.

Betsy Hood / Hodd bapt Scarborough, UK, 1802 parents William Hood & Elizabeth per f m p transcription.
[Mother looks to be Elizabeth Winteringham who married William Hood, Mariner, at Scarborough in 1795, Jane Porritt; John Coxton were present].

The Sister of Betsy Hood was Mary Hood.

A 1798 transcription on f m p has a Mary Hood, baptised Scarborough 2nd Jan

Some research into the family
1818 Scarborough Marriage

Betsy Hood, Sister of Mary Hood perhaps? Or even the Mother of Mary, Elizabeth?

1855 Administration, of Mary Hill of Scarborough, Wife of Matthew Hill (listed on f m p under Matthew Hill).

Admon file ordered

Tried two "Betsy" searches born Scarborough about 1802 in the 1851 Census, turned out to be nee Betsy Ward Davey / Davy (transcribed Dauey on one site) marrying Joseph Gibb and other was nee Elizabeth Holmes marrying Caleb Thompson 1827.

Elizabeth Hood 1859, 1865, 1869, 1871 Scarborough Marriages checked.

1826 St Helens, York Marriage of Elizabeth Hood (born 1802 per Lic) to Jacob Smith, Elizabeth Hood, born Stamford Bridge, Yorks, so not this one.

Can anyone find Betsy Hodd / Hood, bapt Scarborough, Yorkshire, 1802, please?

Thank you, Mark

Regarding Matthew Hill (the Son of Matthew Hill & Mary Hood), who married Julia Breckon 1846 at Scarborough, Yorkshire, UK, Matthew Hill's Son moved to the USA.

Yorks Gazette, 23rd July 1881 (from actual page) ...
"Hill.- On the 30th ult., at the residence of her uncle, Mr. J. Merrell, Elizabeth Street, East Detroit, U.S.A., Alice Aill daughter of Mr. Matthew Hill, formerly of Lcar-borough, and niece of Mr. F. Breckon, in her 16th year."

I wonder if Lcar-borough was meant to say Scarborough and the printing intended to read? ...

Hill.- On the 30th ult., at the residence of her uncle, Mr. J. Merrell, Elizabeth Street, East Detroit, U.S.A., Alice Hill daughter of Mr. Matthew Hill, formerly of Scarborough, and niece of Mr. F. Breckon, in her 16th year.

Betsy Hodd / Betsy Hood, baptised 1802, Scarborough, UK, remains a mystery?

Matthew Hill and children (the Son of Matthew Hill, Ship Carpenter, Shipwright and Mary Hood of Scarborough, UK), appear to be in Evanston, Cook, Illinois, USA in 1860.

1851 Census, Merchants Row, Scarborough, UK.
Matthew Hill, Head, Mar, 56, Shipwright, born Scarborough, Yorks.
Mary Hill, Wife, Mar, 51, born Scarborough, Yorks.
Mary Ann Hill, Un, Daur, 25, Milliner & Basket Maker, born Scarborough, Yorks.
Julia Hill, Grandaur, 3, born Scarborough, Yorkshire.

1851 Newbro' Street, Scarborough, England and Wales Census, UK
Matthew Hill, Head, Mar, 30, Printer, Bookseller & Stationer, born Yorks, Scarborough.
Julia Hill, Wife, Mar, 25, born Yorkshire, Scarborough.
Henry Hill, Son, - , 1yr, born Yorkshire, Scarborough.

Family Search transcription
1860 Evanston, Cook, Illinois, USA
Matthew Hill, 40, born England.
Julia Hill, F, 12, born England.
Henry Hill, M, 10, born England.
Joseph Brecken, M, 66, England.
Sarah Brecken, F, 66, England.

[Julia Hill at Scarborough, UK, 3yrs in 1851, with her Grandfather, Matthew Hill, Shipwright.

Possibly the same Joseph Breckon, who was Father to Julia Breckon, Wife of Matthew Hill, 1846 Scarborough, Yorks, UK, Marriage].

Family search claims Matthew Hill, birth Scarborough, England, died 1902, Cook Illinois, USA.

My question about Betsy Hood, remains ellusive!  :)
