Hello All

Many, many thanks for all your replies.

Thanks dobfarm for the insider info/local Intell., and yes the gates to the Hall, alias Halls Gates, according to the map you posted is depicting a boundary line and on this boundary, of the Moor.

Fenhall Hall was built/held by William Ord and John Ord

Apologies, the 'side by side' map I posted earlier was incorrect, here is the one centred on the map dobfarm gave (still close to Nun's Moor)

On the modern right half map in your link maps!  it says 'Nuns moor' in small green letters over Fenham Hall drive

Scroll north on the old map you can see the major part of Nuns Moor. There was also a portion of Nun's Moor to the south of Fenham Hall Drive. There are allotments there, which you can see on the r-h map.

The 'Halls gates' were the entry gates to Fenham Hall drive

...

When the map is enlarged there is even a [George] 'Hood Street' to the South.
 ...

Just wondering ...

Hood Street, possibly named after a former Mayor John Lionel Hood ?

I very vaguely recall as a small boy, my Grandmother recalling the Lionel as an old predecessor name in the family?

Going back to cooper/mariner Hood ancestry not the posh Hood's  ,

With George Hood d 1845 Selby son James having a child in Sunderland and later living in Durham-with Gateshead/Gibson's from Newcastle to the North and 'Houghton le spring' to the east

Chester le Street on the river wear !!! seems maybe the roots of your Hood's

That's where I would look for George's missing burials
