George Hood Burial where? Died Selby, Yorks 18 September 1845 Part 3

[dobfarm]

I went to St Mary's RC Church today to look at the grave Dobfarm spotted from the bus.  It is Canon Best's grave and he was re-buried in 1913 having been in Selby Abbey. He is the only one buried in the grounds.   The Housekeeper at the Presbytery was in the garden.  She invited me in to look at the Registers for St Mary's and Carlton (in exchange for the name and telephone number of my hairdresser!). 

There is no George Hood burial entered  in 1845  in the Selby or Carlton Register.  I also had a look at baptisms back to  1780 and could not see an entry for "our George".

Its was always a long shot that - but Good elimination work Goughy

  that's a first  and a good swop! - definitely a Women thingy what ever.

Hello Goughy, dobfarm, bumblebee and All

Thank you, that is most interesting! We can rule out Catholics of both Carlton and Selby, for both George's baptism and burial.

Good job you found them, as neither the Church at Selby, nor the R.C., Diocese have replied yet.

Selby Abbey, apparently had Leases at Cliffe, Barlby, Riccall, Osgodby, South Duffield, Hemingbrough and Fulford in the East Riding and Neway in West Riding 1862. I wondered, if perhaps an overflow cemetery somewhere?
["Neway" or is it Newhay. Fulford was near City of York, adjacent Heslington]

Hull Packet 1847  October 5, ... Edwin Paxton Hood [originally born London] Author and Temperance advocate married Jane Wagstaff (dau of Wm Wagstaff of Heslington) at Salem Chapel, York and they lived at Fulford.

I have enquired about the Selby Sexton book with WYAS Leeds, but is Leeds City Archives the same, or is it attached to the Central Library please?

I'm also enquiring if there is an Act Book or Bishop's Register, which might mention the 1815 Bond or Marriage.

Regards Mark

Verger at Abbey said "Leeds City Archives" but could be WYAS Archives. (I personally didn't speak to the Verger, it was a friend of mine)

Its kept running through my mind that the Selby cemetery started its life as an extension burial ground field church cemetery ( not a municipal at first till 1858) to the Abbey graveyard and George Hood somehow got forgotten off the parish burial register in the confusion of burial grounds and plausible ! till one thinks about that real mystery that pops up - Burial of Sarah Hood near 34 years later. The Selby cemetery was well open by 1879 decade years later and Sarah along with the other sibling burials missing in the between years should have been recorded in the parish register or municipal cemetery burial book.

All a Big Mystery

George Hood died "at Selby" 18 September 1845 aged 60 yrs, Tanner & Brewer. Three newspapers Yorkshire Gazette; York Herald and The Leeds Intelligencer (say 63 yrs).
However 28 years old in 1815 (Marriage), so likely 58 to 59 years (in his 60th year).

Sarah Hood "Widow of George HOOD Tanner", died 11 Gowthorpe, Selby 28 November 1879, aged 86 yrs, baptised at Selby.

Their adult children:-
Richard Hood Grocer, died Market Place, Selby 2 May 1850, aged 23 yrs (Sheffield and Rotherham Independent; York Herald; Hull Advertiser; Hull Packet; Leeds Mercury and Leeds Intelligencer - newspapers 23/ 24 yrs)
Sarah Hood died Selby 22 September 1853, aged 18 years;
Mary Hood died Selby 24 November 1854, aged 34 years;
Ellen Hood died Selby 27 July 1855, aged 23 years.

Regarding Parish Churchyards, it would seem even when closed, if one parent was buried in the churchyard, the spouse and unmarried adult children could be buried there too.

List of places checked for GEORGE HOOD (I'll add a list of the private General Cemetery Companies checked in Yorkshire when I receive an outstanding reply).

Hello Goughy, dobfarm, Bumblebee and All

Been looking at HOOD Gateshead Baptisms around the time of this George Hood 1786 Gateshead Baptism:-

 ... Geo S. of John Hood

Three Hood Baptisms at Gateshead apparently, are:-

http://www.durhamrecordsonline.com/NewSearch.php?q=1&cookiecheck=1

Gateshead 1786 George Hood [matches our George Hood's age at his 1815 marriage]
Gateshead 1792 Sarah Hood, possible marriages 1811 Chester Le Street, or 8 May 1814 Marr at Newcastle to Thomas Gibson.
Gateshead 1805 Eliza Hood, possible marriage 1826 Newcastle?
Gateshead 1810 Thomas Hood

(Also found Eliza Hood, Ryton, Durham, baptism, 13 March 1805, but Durham is some distance South of Gateshead)

If the Gateshead 1786 Baptism is our George Hood and the 1792 ; 1805 and 1810 baptisms had the same father and were his siblings, it should give us sideways relatives to George Hood of Selby later, to try and match up?

EDIT: Sarah's baptism 1792 & Rebecca Hood's 1st Oct 1810 burial give her age as 23, birth about 1787 and both were daughters of Francis Hood.

Thanks

Kind regards, Mark

EDIT: There are also Gateshead Burials in:-
1810 for Rebecca Hood, born abt 1787
1821 for Eleanor Hood, born abt 1809

[Goughy]

(Also found Eliza Hood, Ryton, Durham, baptism, 13 March 1805, but Durham is some distance South of Gateshead)

Ryton is about 10 miles West of Gateshead (used to be in County Durham but now Tyne and Wear (used to work in the Gateshead area)
