Hi
MI's for Durham and Northumberland are online, some with pictures some without. Some with inscriptions some without (just give date of burial)
I'm going to need time going through Heworth MI's for John Hood burial 1800. Nothing in the search for a Hood but there are plenty of pictures of eroded/damaged gravestones to peruse 
Looked at a few trees for the Middleton family but all have Ann Brown as Ann Brignal. Can see a few Ann's born at the time but nothing standing out to me.
Finally back to the Wetherston/Hood/Scott MI. There was a mention of daughter Margaret Renos ? - Margaret Wetherston was married to a Michael Renwick or Rennick. I see that name has cropped up as a witness in a marriage Mark has put up.

Added: For Durham and Northumberland there are 170 Hood burials/MI's in total - quite a few post 1900.
Hi Claire and All
Ballast Hills, Dissenters Burial GroundPoems not transcribed.
The Registers do not survive (missing) before July 1792.
However, burials started at Ballast Hills early 1700s, this was determined from the earliest M.I., taken in 1817 of those who purchased a Headstone which was still there in 1817.
If George Hood baptised Gateshead 1786 was buried there 1786 to July 1792, there will be
No burial record. If he was buried 1792 to 1812 (these were not searched).
Apparently, there is a surname Index to Burial Registers from 1813.
When dobfarm raised his Newcastle theory, I got a paid researcher to look at the HOOD transcriptions only, from those Memorial Inscriptions taken in 1817 by John Bell at Ballast Hills, Dissenters Burial Ground. Those Memorials listed in 1817:-

Researching the Ballast Hills Registers from 1792 to 1812,
would still not get me back to 1786 to check if George Hood baptised Gateshead 1786, had been buried at Ballast Hills, due to missing Ballast Hills Burial Registers before 1792.
----------
Robert Hood who spoke in the Newcastle upon Tyne Chapel [from Brampton, apparently died 18th Century.]
He might be in the Surman Index (online).
