Hello All
Thank you, Claire and dobfarm and anyone checking stuff off board.
John Hood of Selby, Mariner, (formerly of Scarborough) married Elizabeth Leppington (Widow of John Leppington and a John Leppington was buried Scarborough St Mary's 17 July 1762). Elizabeth Leppington, Widow was nee Elizabeth Spencer, so this is how Rootschatters got Elizabeth Spencer the mother of Maudland Hood baptised Scarborough 24 December 1775 and by using the Descent in the Selby Register of 1795, when Maudland Turner's (nee Hood's) first daughter was born.
EDIT: Also for the above to work out per documents, John Hood of Selby, Mariner (formerly of Scarborough) must have married the mystery Jane after 1775 (the Birth of Maudland Hood) and before Jane Hood's Selby burial in 1803.
Because John Hood, Mariner, then of Scarborough married with an Allegation and Bond AND Jane Marshall's John Hood of Pickering, a Bleacher (so wrong occupation, not a Mariner) also has a surviving Bond which he signed, I got the paperwork and also felt John Hood's signatures (below) did not match either, so Jane Marshall definitely and probably Jane Newby (married Scalby 1793), are out of the frame for the mystery Jane.
So not only do we have a mystery George Hood at Selby with no burial, we also have a mystery Jane Hood, who cannot be nee Jane Marshall.
So somewhere John Hood of Selby, Mariner (formerly of Scarborough) has married a mystery Jane (born about 1738)?
So not only do we have bother with my ol' George Hood, but Jane Hood, wife of John Hood of Selby, Mariner (formerly of Scarborough), is a mystery woman in my life too?
John Hood of Selby (formerly of Scarborough) being a Mariner, could of married Jane anywhere, assuming they were actually married. But I also wonder if the mystery Jane Hood (buried Selby 15 Aug 1803, aged 65) might be George's mother who in 1785 would be about 47 years old?
Regards Mark
