Hello
I wondered if someone can help please with the Latin and the translation to English (image attached) of Matthew Hood's Admin, who was buried at Selby Abbey in 1717, on his grave he was a Chirurgus (Surgeon) and his wife was Elizabeth, a possible ancestor of mine?

GeneralI say possible ancestor, because despite huge efforts (and on Rootschat to get back beyond 1812) I can only trace a Hood guaranteed line back to a May 1815 Marriage Allegation and Bond for a "
George Hood of Selby" aged 28 years who married July 1815 and also an 1812 entry in the Selby Land Tax, despite having a fully transcribed Selby Parish Register (which seems accurate, when ordering copies from original Register images on microfilm).
What I am now trying to do, is go forward from the early 18th Century male Hoods of Selby and see if there might be a link to "George Hood of Selby" 1812/1815.
There was a Samuel Hood of Selby [listed Samuel Hudd], the 10th August 1738 Inventory of the Barber, was on FindMyPast at Borthwick and signed by Widow Elizabeth Hood.
Samuel Hood Barber and Surgeon from Selby, was buried Thorganby, 1st July, 1737 (Church burials online).
A Roger Hood of Selby 1727 Will (14 March 1727 Probate of the Will in the Howard Vyse collection), I had photographed, which mentions his House and Orchard on Ouzegate [Ousegate] Selby, being left in equal shares to his brother Nathaniel Hood and his sisters Eliz Middleton and Ann Todd. A paid search at the WYAS Wakefield Deed Registry in the Selby Deed Registrations was inconclusive re Nathaniel Hood, but they had a listing of an Ousegate, Selby, property being transferred in 1736, mentioning a Todd.
Seems Elizabeth was a popular wife's name, of a Selby Hood, early 18th Century.
