Thank you, Chris: yes, lots of interest here. I don't know why I've never heard of Snaith, but I haven't before this. I assume I was correct in thinking the Hooke records will be in Beverley? Jane MALLINSON was born in Hooke around 1811, and her mother Mary MALLINSON also in Hooke anywhere between 1770 and 1780 - the censuses are not consistent on her age. These should be married surnames, not birth names. When I find them in 1841, they are living together in Wakefield with four of Jane's children, all also named MALLINSON and all born in Wakefield. In 1851 and thereafter, Jane is referred to as Mary's daughter. This is quite strange: there should have been a "daughter-in-law" relationship under normal circumstances. I am trying to find out how all 3 female generations had the same surname. One of Jane's daughters, Selina, was my 4xgreatgrandmother. I'm waiting for Selina's marriage record from the GRO to find out the first name of her father, then I can probably do a proper search on his name. I had another check of the IGI after Ann's information came through, but the closest Mallinson records I can find are from Sculcoates - which is Hull, I think? Genuki (for Snaith) says that the Hook chapelry records should certainly be included in the IGI, but I don't see any Mallinsons at all under a Hook or Snaith heading - I listed 400 Mallinsons in Yorkshire, asking for all events to try to cover every eventuality. So I'm a bit stuck for ideas at the moment. By the way .... Kushti Bok??? must mean something! Maggie >>Howdenshire is on the north bank of the Ouse in the historic East riding and uses the shire suffix because it was an enclave of parishes surrounded by the diocese of York that were under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Durham. His HQ in the shire was Howden Minster, which was built with more of an eye to making a statement than the population's ability to maintain it. These days half is still used as a church and the other half is a ruin. >>Hooke is on the south bank of the Ouse in the historic parish of Snaith and is in the historic West riding. Snaith was a largish parish that straddled the Aire, and also included Goole at its eastern end. All Yorkshire south of the Ouse from where the Wharfe joins it is in the historic West riding. Hooke was one of a number of chapelries within Snaith parish which kept their own records. The Hooke chapelry is dedicated to St. John. The parish church is the old Snaith priory church and is dedicated to St. Laurence. >>Goole was an insignificant settlement (mow known as Old Goole) on a loop of the Ouse. In the mid 17th century Cornelius Vermuyden set about draining Hatfield Chase by diverting the northern arm of the Don from it's confluence with the Aire near Rawcliffe by cutting a new channel (the Dutch river) for it to the Ouse at Goole. By dint of it having a swifter flow, this eventually caused the old Aire channel and the Don's southern channel to the Trent to silt up. In 1826, the Aire and Calder navigation opened its new canal between Knottingly and Goole. Part of this project was to lay out a new port to the north of the old Goole settlement. The new port settlement is what is now referred to as Goole, and its importance has eclipsed that of older settlements in the area such as Snaith and Howden. >>You don't mention what sort of date range you're interested in, but hopefully the above contains something of use. >>Kushti bok, >>Chris Westmoreland

Hi Maggie, The registers of Snaith and all it's chapelries except Carlton are at Doncaster. Carlton (Carlton juxta Snaith) is on the north bank of the Aire, and its registers are in York at the Borthwick Institute. The IGI has George Malinson marrying Mary Bains at Hooke on 24 July 1804 swiftly followed on 14 October 1804 by the baptism of Jane Malinson, parents George and Mary, also at Hooke. I know that the dates aren't exactly, what you're looking for, but it might be a lead. Kushti bok is a Romany phrase (its spelling is fluid) which means good (kushti) luck (bok).
