I'd treat that with a little caution 

Hallgate is the name of a street in Hexham.

But the baptism says Halls Gates near Newcastle.

Yes, I was a little uncertain due the distance, but thought it was worth mentioning even if just to rule out.

I'm a bit more inclined to think it's the one I mentioned in post #17. Cant find it on a map though.

Yes, I'd tend to agree that it looks a better bet.

I cant get shrink link to work at the moment, but there's this reference to Hall's Gate, which also places it close to Town Moor:

I can easily find Nuns Moor on the old maps, but no sign of Halls Gate. I think it's long gone.

At least we've established an approximate location.

I'll hand the thread over to member BushInn1746 (Mark) now who's ancestry are these Hood's of Selby

Hello All

Oh, Wow! Thanks, Thanks to dobby's persistence! I can't take it in yet, are you saying Richard Gibson and George Hood were Cousins?

I'll still need to put it into a tree (with lines), until I get used to it.

If Hall's Gate Newcastle was near Town Moor, then see the map attachment.

When the map is enlarged there is even a [George] 'Hood Street' to the South.

Possibly George Hood (died Selby 18 September 1845) buried here, somewhere?

Kind regards Mark

[..claire..]

I think we are saying Richard Gibsons sister Elizabeth married John Hood, therefore George is Richards Nephew

... I think that's what we are saying
