Hood or Hoods?
This family's surname originally started off as 'Heads'. Other spellings found have included Heids, Huds and Hoads. It soon became Hoods in most records but from the early 19th century the 's' began to be dropped until 'Hood' was used exclusively.
For consistency 'Hood' in preference to Hoods or Heads in this website is used mainly for consistency.
