Hello
Say for example, that my George Hood of Selby is not the Nephew of Richard Gibson of Selby, Cooper, late of Newcastle upon Tyne ...
but a more distant relation, although still related to the Gibsons of Newcastle via the John Hood of 'All Saints without walls' ... , Mariner = Elizabeth Gibson, Spinster, 1779 Marriage.
--------
Because there may be a Gibson connection, I've acquired this later Deed and Plan for my collection (attached) and I get the feeling that John Cook (dau Elizabeth Cook, John Cook 1773 Will and the 1817 Administration with reference to Brown; the Ridleys (see attached Plan) and reference to Jane Spencer - Durham documents online); Charles John Pearson of Gateshead (and his predecessor) and Hood are all tied up to Gibson of Newcastle likely Thomas Gibson (probably Thos Gibson the Banker) who incidentally has a number of illegitimate children.

1851
According to the following 1851 document description a Robert Hood of Lower Seymour Street, Middlesex, Surgeon seems to own land at Whickham, along with Charles John Pearson.
It would be interesting to discover who Robert Hood was?

I also noticed on the Durham documents online that John Cook, Widower, Butcher, had made a Bond and Allegation to marry an Elizabeth Gibson, Spinster, dated May 1757, both of the Chapelry of All Saints.
The John Cook Will (mentioned above) leaves property at Cowgate (north of Fenham / Halls Gate) and Pandon Bank to daughter Elizabeth Cook (parents seem to have died before she could inherit) and the Ridleys are then involved using the 1773 Will, in an 1817 Administration.
According to the Plan some of the Newcastle upon Tyne land, had previously passed into the hands of George Tallentire Gibson.
