Hello All
I am new on here, so hope, I'm posting in the right Forum section.
I have been stuck for 15 years with my four times Gt. Grandfather George Hood, called in Selby property registrations (held at Wakefield), as George Hood of Selby. There is no baptism, nor burial at Selby!
So looking for the mystery burial Parishes / Towns, please, of:-
Please say if you are checking an M.I., or information from a Burial Register? Thank you.
Have you come across please, the Mystery Burials of:-
George Hood died "at Selby" 18 September 1845, "Disease of the Heart 18 months Certified" aged 60 yrs, Tanner & Brewer. Three newspapers say 63 yrs, but 28 years old in 1815 (Marriage Allegation, Bond & Register), so probably 59 years?
Birthplace unknown - hence my post, for any burial information only.
Sarah Hood, "Widow of George HOOD Tanner", died 11 Gowthorpe, Selby 28 November 1879, aged 86 yrs (wife of the above), baptised Selby, but hopefully buried with late husband, George?
Because their adult children might be buried in a family grave with George and his widow, I include their details here :-
Richard Hood, Grocer, died of Consumption Certified [pulmonary TB], Market Place, Selby 2 May 1850, aged 23 yrs (newspapers 23/ 24 yrs);
Sarah Hood, died of Phthisis, Wren Lane, Selby 22 September 1853, aged 18 years;
Mary Hood, died of Phthisis, Wren Lane, Selby 24 November 1854, aged 34 years;
Ellen Hood, died of Phthisis, Wren Lane, Selby 27 July 1855, aged 23 years.
Notes
Although, William Hood d. Selby July 1870, aged 54 yrs was a Quaker, none of the above were Quakers.
Sons John (d. 1860) and George (d. 1862) were buried Selby Cemetery.
Son James moved away and died elsewhere.
Selby Cemetery / Selby Council
Selby Cemetery opened about 1858 and Selby Council have kindly sent me a list.
York Cemetery
York Cemetery, opened 1830s (now run by a Volunteer Trust), No George Hood of Selby burial (by email to the Trust)
