The Selby name could come from further back the generations such as a maternal grandmother perhaps rather than a Selby bride.

Thank you for all for these replies.
Although, I am no longer looking at Selby Hood, I am particularly interested in your comment Monica that the middle surname (in naming sequences) can denote ancestry further back.
Although, we have also been looking at James Goldie Hood of Hessle, Yorkshire (origin Dumfries), I noticed this was the case with the surname Goldie in a book of Memorial Inscriptions, that the Goldie surname was not the previous immediate generation (his parents). Reply #16 ...

My Grandmother claimed that my HOODs of Selby were of Scottish origin and we are stuck at a Selby, Yorkshire, marriage by Licence, 18th July 1815, George HOOD aged 28, to Sarah RUSSELL.
Sarah RUSSELL was local (baptised Selby 1793).
I am descended from their Son John HOOD.
However, Son James HOOD used middle name (mostly surname) for many of his children with Sarah Hood (nee ARUNDEL).
The two unused surnames are COOK and PEARSON, which it seems can only be connected to George HOOD's line. Reply #542 ...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=756955.msg6274021#msg6274021There is an earlier HOOD & PEARSON marriage at Beverley, Yorkshire, but no Yorkshire or other proveable Birth record of George HOOD circa 1785 to 1787. I suspect Nonconformism and possibly local to Selby.
However, I am obviously very interested in your comment, Monica (quoted).
Also the Quaker Burial Ground at Selby was cleared (visited). The September 1845 Burial Note, Death Certificate (aged 60 years) and newspaper notice gives brief information (see notes bottom of my posts), but not his parentage.
The Selby Quaker M.I. survey was too recent and the Grave Plan is missing in the Selby Quaker records.
