Sorry if this has been touched on before but is there concrete proof that the John Hood in Selby per land tax and buried there with wife Jane IS the man from Scarborough who is the father of Maudland Hood.
Hello All
Thanks for replies.
Re your question Claire, yes.
Re your question dobfarm, yes likely a mystery Jane.
Jane was wife of John Hood of Selby Mariner when she was buried at Selby in 1803.
Slide over to Elizabeth Turner's 1795 Selby Baptism & Birth dates, so that it reveals the right hand page and confirmation of Maudland Hood's lineage.
We've seen the Scarborough St Mary's December 1775 Baptism Register (fiche) at Beverley. Maudland alias Morland was Maudland Hood baptised Scarborough St. Mary's December 1775 and D. of John Hood.
It seems the Selby John Hood has previously had enough of Scarborough as their children, even Spencer Hood (almost certainly his) have died in the 1770s along with wife Elizabeth.
Next a John Hood appears in the Selby Land Tax, circa 1781 (don't know if any older L/ Tax pages are online).
Then we have references to John Hood of Selby, Mariner in the Selby Register (both attached) and how he is Maudland's father.
1. We know Maudland Hood was baptised Scarborough and links to Jane and John Hood of Selby.
2. John Hood, Mariner was of Scarborough when he married Widow, Elizabeth Leppington (nee Spencer).
3. Spencer Hood S. of John Hood likely their child (John & Elizabeth Hood) buried too, probably with the other burials at Scarborough.
4. Elizabeth Hood burial at Scarborough, possibly John Hood's first wife.
John Hood of Scarborough, later John Hood of Selby has
re-married a mystery Jane somewhere, after losing his wife Elizabeth Hood (ex Leppington Widow) nee Spencer.

The marriage of John Hood/Jane Newby marriage in Scalby 1793 states John's occupation as Farmer
