Hello
1. Here is the 16th May 1815 Marriage Bond (Selby Peculiar Court) of George Hood.
2.
Chester Newby, Miller of Selby was George Hood's Bondsman and he is believed to be the same Chester Newby (Ancestry had him as August Newby) in the Baptism Register of
Whitley / Kellington ...
Kellington
1790
8 August Chester So of Thomas & Hannah Newby Whitley Although we had no link, there is the 1793 Marriage at Scalby (near Scarborough) of John Hood to a Jane Newby (I don't really want to mention it, as it may be taking us in the wrong compass direction from Selby).
However, Kellington is South-West of Selby and Whitley further to the South South East of Kellington.
Newby's in the Snaith / Balne areas ...
Hull Packet 25 Aug 1843
August 18, at Snaith ... Mr Rob't Newby, farmer of Balne Croft, near Snaith, to Miss Dickson of Pollington, near the same place.
Yorks Gazette 3 October 1835
... Mr Nathan Newby, sen., of Baln-Croft, near Snaith, farmer, aged 70.
3. Some Cockins are Southerly from Selby, Snaith and near Doncaster (mentioned in other thread).
One of George Hood's sons William Hood married Jane Casson born Thorne, Yorkshire
4. A George Hood is mentioned in the Diaries of Samuel Hirst staying at Askern, but then dining at Kellington (so on his way back):-

Samuel Hirst was born in Stubbs Walden on his father's farm in the year 1803. In February 1831 at the age of 27 he came to Kellington to take over a farm that formed part of Sir Samuel Crompton's estate." Apparently, Hirst was a land valuer, so that might be the reason for the friendship.
1833
Tuesday 9 July
At Kellington, a fine day but it was very like rain in the morning.
I am just expecting Mr Hood and his friend to dine out of (?) today, they are staying at Askern.
Mr Hood came and dined with me.
Called and looked at Mr Earnshaw's rams.
I took supper at Hutt Green.
Friday 27 September
At Howden Show, a fine day.
Wm Dickon bought a gig horse of Penty of York for £31/10/0 and he bought a fine hunting horse 4 years old of Mr George Hood for £63/0/0. I lent him £35/2/3.
My expenses are 8/6.
I paid Goodworth for Miss B - £7/0/0.
I received of George Auty for Miss B £10/0/0.If this Samuel Hirst is dining with my George Hood at Kellington, Askern is even further south of Whitley.
5. Charles Hood, born Selby (married twice), aged 2 and Son of George Hood born Selby & Ann Hood born Blyth, Notts., of Byfield Lodge Farm House, 1861 Census.
Charles Hood was not in my line and this might be a coincidence, but in the 1891 Census (RG12 /3762) of Whitwood, Normanton, Charles Hood born Selby aged 30 Railway Signalman and Hannah Hood aged 28 and family have an
Emma Hirst, Visitor, M, aged 57 or 59, born Ledsham, Yorkshire.
Might be a coincidence this Emma Hirst (or friend only).
However, the only clues suggests George Hood Senior, with links to Parishes South of the Selby Peculiar Jurisdiction.
