I have two MALLINSON ladies, mother and daughter, living in Wakefield who report in the censuses that they were born in Hooke near Howden, (now spelled Hook) which I have found near Goole. I thought Goole was East Riding but find curiously that until 1974 it was in the West Riding, and that following further reorganisation, the records for that area are now kept in Beverley. Howdenshire seems to have been the name of a wapentake, but it was pretty small. My question is, does anyone know what the parish church in Hook would have been? Genuki is useful about Howden but has next to nothing on Hook. And from what dates I might expect to find births and marriages recorded there? many thanks Maggie Berry ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
