George Hood Burial where? Died Selby, Yorks 18 September 1845 Part 1

[BumbleB]

Not sure whether you've got the details of burial - John Hood, aged 82 of Selby buried 4 April 1819 at St Mary, Selby.

Wills - from the Index of Wills on FindMyPast

April 1819 - John Hood of Bardon Park, Leicestershire - Administration - £200 - so no Will 

August 1820 - John Hood - Administratrix is Rebecca Hood of Gosport, Hants. - Death Duty Register, so again no Will.

Compare maps

Note- Railway line and road from Brayton to Selby where the Brayton road meets the railway line. shows no cemetery (See map below)

Further, to my above post. Thank you for this, I have used NLS to look up Air Force Lists, but no idea they had maps online too.

The "Selby Cemetery" to which I think you are referring on the map, is the one on the Doncaster Road. Records apparently start from 1858 and some later Hood deaths (one in 1860 & two in 1862) are apparently buried there.

No details or scan, only 1819 date, so thanks for the April 1819 death date for John Hood, of Selby, I can check the Yorkshire newspapers and look for the 1819 image at the Library.

I am still going to ask the Borthwick/Diocesan Archive about an 1819 Will, as it might not be listed online?
Thanks Mark

Just a thought ?

What did the Selby George die of ?

If fever ! in an epidemic they buried them bodies fast in a communal fever grave and in the panic did not always record those buried or may have missed the odd one.

Here's a link to the Selby Civic Society about the Cholera Epidemic in 1848/1849 and confirms that Selby Abbey graveyard closed in 1856.   http://www.selbycivicsociety.org.uk/blue-plaques/choleraburialground

Mention was made of a Hood being buried in St Mary's - that's the Catholic church. Co-incidentally, the Catholic Chapel was provided by Lord Petre and I see from records that George Hood lived in houses owned by Mr Petre.  Could need to reference  Catholic records??

Thanks Goughy for the info, that explains the Selby Cemetery lists beginning circa 1858, that must have been when the new Selby Cemetery opened.

Oh Catholic, that's possibly why no 1845 burial was found in the Parish Register. There was a Friends Meeting House and the Quakers had a burial ground apparently. Not actually checked.

Yes that is right George Hood was an "occupier" of land owned by Mr Petre Lord of the Manor, circa (either side of) 1814.

A Grandson George William Hood died of Cholera Convulsions Certified 1857, with Ann Hood of Gowthorpe, Selby nursing him, thanks for that insight.

OK, it's not difficult, BUT I'm confused    The burial entry I found on FindMyPast for John Hood purports to be at St Mary, Selby (as per the transcription) BUT the image is from the Bishop's Transcripts of Burials AND therefore cannot (I think) relate to a Catholic Church    The paperwork is the standard post-1813 paperwork, again I'm not sure what paperwork Catholic churches used.  Plus the fact that there is a marriage by licence in 1819 (Bond and Allegation don't appear to have survived).  The headings for Baptisms, Marriages and Burials just states the parish of Selby, as do the pages pre-1813.

How wonderful is Genuki    "The church, a peculiar of the Selby Court, is a vicarage, dedicated to St Mary and St Germain, in the deanery of the Ainsty."

The Bishop's Transcripts for 1798 are signed by the Vicar - Thomas Mounsey.

Genuki has a transcribed list of the Abbots and Vicars in Selby Abbey - 1797 - 1819 - Thomas Mounsey.

Added:  1834 Pigots Directory - "The church, formerly conventual, and belonging to the Abbey, dedicated to St Mary and St Germain ...."  Other directories refer to it as just St Germain.

Probably not confused BumbleB.  Looking at the history of the Catholic Church in Selby, it would appear RC's were buried in Selby Abbey http://stmarysselby.org.uk/history.htm until they have their own section in Selby Cemetery from 1856.
