On line records for Selby Cemetery are from 1858 to 1936.  Selby Town Council hold and maintain records for the Cemetery  http://www.selbytowncouncil.gov.uk/c/cemetery/  I would also drop a query to Selby FH Group  http://www.selbydistrictfamilyhistory.btck.co.uk/CONTACTUS

Looking at the map of Selby 1845-1847. The only burial ground is the main town parish church.

Possible he's a nonconformist buried in a un-consecrated part/section of that church yard and registered in a nonconformist register or buried in another place/town /city that has a nonconformist burial ground or even Quakar one.

Need to eliminate George of Leeds with info who he was. Either of the two George' or both could have been in the army in Luddite times 1812 ish.

Interesting -if its him George is aged 55 in 1845 at death

BUT - adult ages are rounded-down in 1841 census, so George could have been 54 and rounded down to 50

Ah! Well. maybe a sunny day out with a breeze ? to York one day this week, then check BT's' and church registers, MI's and stuff. If you think of ow't - shout it out.

That would be 55 to 59 years old then at death 1845 -Selby George

59 it near enough death certificate age of 60

If say he was 54 and 11 month old in 1841 time of census, thats near the 55 to 59 croup, putting him Aged 60 to 64  1845

Thank you for replies,

I have done a "Hood" search (give or take 10 years) with the keyword "Selby" on one of the forebears site links and found a burial of John Hood aged 82, death year 1819 West Riding, from their Selby Abbey link which covers 1813 to 1837 (apparently links to NBI).

I will try to get an 1819 John Hood copy Will and see if John Hood left anything to a Son, or Grandson called George Hood of Selby.

I will try a search for John Hood at the Library, for a burial image.

Thanks, Mark
