Hello All
Been looking at the John Hood of Pickering in the County of York Bleacher and Jane Marshall, York Marriage Bond, dated 28 March 1765.
It said he was a Bleacher, so this John Hood was probably the same as the John Hood at Middleton in 1807:-

Comment, I get the feeling that this would be the house of John Hood the Mariner in Millgate, Selby. Sadly no reference, nor link to George. However, a word of caution, although John Hood was shown as the Land Tax payer (online), this document refers to possible Undertenants, so one, or both occupiers could be sub-letting. However, Jane wife of John Hood of Selby mariner is buried at Selby on 15 August 1803, aged 65, in the Selby Churchyard, suggesting they were Selby based.
The John Spencer of Selby, Gentleman is possibly the one who died at Selby in 1809 and if so, the one mentioned in the 1810 Will Abstract and linked to John Spencer of Conisbrough Park.
