Hello All
After we got the suspicion that Selby - George Hood was from elsewhere and I could not find Richard Gibson's Selby Cooper business advertised anywhere, then dobfarm began suggesting that Richard Gibson and George Hood might be related in some way, then I am ...
Kicking myself for not looking at my Selby Parish Transcriptions (on PDF), the Descent as spotted by Claire, for Elizabeth Gibson is wonderfully transcribed, by Yorkshire Parish Registers / YAS! If I had looked, I should have seen Richard Gibson also links back to Hall's Gate, Newcastle.
Latter Day Saints FHC
I very vaguely recall in the 1990s my only visit to the Latter Day Saints FHC, a lady there was suggesting that an attempt to try and link the Gateshead 1st October 1786 Baptism should be made, but it became swallowed up amongst many pages of notes, until dobfarm started suggesting it and quite a few times too!
Hall's Gate, Newcastle
Whilst on the subject of Hall's Gate, Newcastle, see image below from An Impartial History of the Town and County of Newcastle upon Tyne, by Baillie, 1801, which is what Jen appears to be suggesting about an adjacent location from Jomot's link and the comments).
It seems, there was some dispute over Leases on the Moors, outside Newcastle.
I am looking at what I need and what can downloaded from the online PRs to link this Gibson-Uncle / Hood-Nephew relationship up and then I'll have a search for any supplementary docs and of course a Burial Register/Grave search, if found in the Newcastle, Northumberland area, that would also support it.
Lionel, probably further back.
Many thanks and kind regards, Mark
