Hi

Rather ironic the curate at St Peters Monk-Wearmouth is a Thomas Gibson c1790's 

I don't think this is the John Hood you want ~ this man was a cordwainer, unless he changed occupations.
Daughter Mary Hood bapt. in 1799 father transcribed as Thos.  he is still a cordwainer. Mother Ann daughter of Thomas Potts

Good elimination Claire- not that there is a lot to eliminate

That was always  a wild card -based on the 1786 of Gateshead  George Hood of John Hood occupation unknown (Publican ?) baptism seeming a lone baptism. as why ? (South shore)

John Hood of Newcastle to Eliz Gibson 1779 was a mariner and not a local publican. (North shore)

Being precise John Hood was a mariner and bondsman a waterman on the bond allegation forms - Waterman is a man working on things associated with river crafts and mariners work on sea craft to sail to unknown ports.

I'm losing track of what you already have, so apologies if this is duplicating:
12 Jan 1783 All Saints, Newcastle, Jane Hood d/o John Hood, Waterman

Right so what we have is

John Hood ( mariner) marries Elizabeth Gibson.

 A possible daughter JANE bapt. 1783 (occ. now Waterman)
Son George bapt. 1786 ( occ. mariner ? )

Two questions: Is it likely John Hood could easily change occupations ( Mariner to Waterman) ?

We have no Apprenticeship records for either Richard Gibson or George Hood - do we know if Apprenticeship records are complete and have survived ?

Hi, I can't see a problem with a Mariner later becoming a Waterman

Thanks dobfarm

An online free search suggests no 1845 burial at Gateshead, for George Hood.

Apparently, a Company of shareholders opened Westgate Hill General Cemetery, Newcastle, about circa 1828, so I am trying T & W Archives, who have the Registers.

G.H., could be here (or there), I'll let you know, if at Westgate Hill General Cemetery.

dobfarm, thanks for your emails.

Again, apologies if I'm going over old ground (hard to keep track of so much info!), but looking at the bondsman for 1779 marriage of John Hood & Elizabeth Gibson - John Scott, Waterman.

Has anyone looked into the following marriage? 

1775, All Saints, Newcastle
John Scott & Eleanor Hood

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6PG-Y65

ADDED
Looks like the marriage was 27 Aug 1775 and John Cook Scott was a Waterman

Added: Does it say Eleanor was a widow?
