In the 1841 census William Hood, living in Dipton, states that both he and his wife were born in County Durham.
HO 107 / 301 / 7 / 7 /
Dipton,
William Hood, 55, A<gricultural> L<abourer>, Y
Catherine Hood, 45, Y
Possibly further evidence that the William Hood aged 71 in the 1851 Census at Collierley & Pontop [near Dipton], claiming his birth place Cunnagal Yorkshire, was probably born Carnigill Yorkshire (in border country), near the border with Co. Durham.
West Carnigill Farm is currently given Co. Durham, picture of the farmhouse and map here ...

The IGI had no coverage after about 1772/1773 for Romaldkirk, despite Registers at DCRO continuing onward until 1963.
No IGI Coverage Romaldkirk, North Yorks?
Carnigill on Hunderthwaite Moor seems to come under the Parish of Romaldkirk North Riding of Yorkshire. However, no IGI after 1772 (C) / 1773 (Marr), although C.M.B. Registers 1578 to 1963, source Yorkshire Parish Registers by Colin Blanshard Withers.
Churches / Chapels on recent 1976 OS Pink (1:50 000 Series) Sheet 92 Barnard Castle & Richmond map:-
Romaldkirk; Cotherstone; and more distant Laithkirk; Lartington; Eggleston
If not online, any Hood/s baptised here are not going to show up.
