Thank you dobfarm and Claire
When John Clark, Tanner of Selby, died, (Will 1764), Clark left his property divided between his five daughters as five equal shares. Later George Hood purchases 4/5 ths of the Gowthorpe premises (advertised in 1830).
The Deed is Registered in 1831 for 4/5ths of the Gowthorpe premises acquired by George Hood, which indicated that Martha Clark was one of 5 Coheiresses at Law to John Clark and that Martha had married William Dickinson late of Selby Tailor, which had passed to his son John Dickinson of Selby, Plumber and Glaizer.
However, the registration makes no reference to George Hood being heir at Law, to any one of the inheritors of the Five Clark Sisters shares.
Thought, crossed my mind - possibly George illegitimate, takes surname Hood from his father but buried with his birth name.
However, once a Death is registered, a Burial Certificate was issued in the name of the deceased to permit the burial to occur (the Quakers have kept these filed). I doubt, if the Church would put a different name in their Burial Register to the name given them on the Burial Certificate and Death Certificate?
Missing burials online, more likely.
