Hello
Thanks dobfarm.
Regarding the "Not in Membership" Quaker burial and Richard Taylor's comment suggesting the family origin to be rather transient. James Hood his ancestor was Brother of my 3 X Gt. Grandfather John Hood.
Mystery George wasn't a Quaker, Membership refused in 1836, but likely an 'attender'
Perhaps before George Hood settled at Selby, he was transient too.
Possibly him at Knottingley 1813, if so, two places at once.
The mystery James Cookin, witness, on the Hood = Russell 1815 Selby Marriage.
Added Looking at this signature again, I can't make my mind up, if it says
JANE COOKIN and they wrote Jane on the B.T. copy too?
Some of these new Independent meetings lacked numbers, Selby Independent had stopped for a while late 18th Century, and a book & pdf refers to Ministers 1810 - 1812 coming from Hull.
Presbyterian at Selby (est c.1700), later became Unitarian 19th Century.
James Cockin, founded the
Intinerant Society 1811 ... references to Northowram; Heckmondwike, Rotherham and Idle. Also Hoxton Academy.
Added another says Joseph Cockin.

Reference to an 18th August 1811 meeting, which gave birth to the West Riding Intinerant Society.

The four surviving Sons were split religiously, two becoming Quakers one marrying a Wesleyan to begin with; William Hood becoming a C of E Minister, so a Religious family, C of E and Other Faiths.
George Hood Marriage by Licence, with an Allegation and Bond too, but not marrying for two months and resident at Selby two years.
Sarah Russell was C of E, but above suggests the mystery George Hood was probably not.

Dissenters Academies provided education, besides preparing Dissenting Ministers.
