Hello All
Thank you very, very much for all your help and attempts.
I think it is time to mark this thread as complete.
I have been stuck with this George Hood of Selby who married at Selby in 1815 since the 1990s!
Despite the IGI being a massive undertaking, burial places was not its main aim. Also many Cemeteries which were once cramped with headstones, on top of each other almost, are now almost green open spaces, with some Registers still tucked away.
If George, who was born circa 1785 to 1787 to dissenting parents, then there may be no surviving baptism record, a lot of the main Hood families were Dissenting and had turned away from the C of E.
I have written to the successors of Edward Parker Esquire / Parker & Weddall, Selby (1846), and awaiting several other replies.
If anyone accidentally comes across the last resting places of six of my Hood ancestors who died at Selby 1845 to 1855, also Sarah Hood, widow in 1879 (besides those at Selby Cemetery, I know about), please PM me.
Thank you.
I send you all my very best wishes, Mark
