Scott line of infestation finding clues sounds a good idea. (Stott)

Taking the clues you have from Richard Gibson Cooper bankrupt 1810 roots from Newcastle.

James Cockin witness on George Hood marriage 1815 Selby.

That George Hood in Landtax records Snaith Knottingley 1813

The route link between the North East river Tyne, South Shields  Scarborough, Hull, ((Humber, Rivers Ouse / Trent) Selby, Ferrybridge, Wakefield, Doncaster Sheffield and Rotherham was inland waterways and sea.

South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire archives (West riding those days) seems to be a pace to search for publican records for John Hood innkeeper ship inn Gateshead post 1790. Though North Yorkshire (Riding) boarder comes south through Selby to near South Elmsall area.

I might have a sniff around archives next summer as I'm researching my Jackson's of Knottingley Beale. Kellington, Cawood & Selby all in leather trades, shoe makers, tanners and cordwainers.

That John Hood or Wood? innkeeper or publican of the Talbot Inn 1793 Bradford ? I think a search of Bradford schools in WYAS archives may be worth a look for 1790's George Hood of Selby would have been age 6 to 8 years old in 1793.

It still natters me!

You can't find who George Hood born 1785 to 1787 cooper/brewer/tanner of Selby was before 1810/1812

Then John Hood innkeeper of the Ship inn south shore Gateshead with his possible son George Hood of John Hood  bapt Oct 1786 Gateshead disappeared post 1789 - did John hood innkeeper move back to a pub/inn/or hotel in North Yorkshire with son George.

Seeing as no other baptism of a child of John Hood can be found in Gateshead parish register +/- 10 years of 1786 - the question arises - did John Hood Innkeeper of the Ship inn Gateshead bring his new born unbaptised new baby son George with him from Yorkshire.

I'm afraid ancestry records don't always give uniformity! that modern admin workers work to high standards of paperwork that need have uniformed consistency records -  that we are use too today - unfortunately.

Your lucky as a lot of pre 1813 church registers baptisms only give the fathers name, and marriages don't give fathers name or occupation.
