Because of the unexplained delay between the Marriage Allegation & Bond 16th May 1815 and the Wedding by Licence about two months later and George Hood's identity being unconfirmed, we decided to have another further image taken.

Originally the Marriage Allegation appeared to say Parish of[?] y and if the words do say "Parish of" then I don't see room for Selby and I am not sure if I see Selby anyway?

Afterward, it says "Parish Church of Selby"

I wondered what you make please of the original word (partly erased) overwritten by the word "Church", and if it was another possible place, or chapel name?

It looks to me like Selby, then rewritten because they had missed out Church of before the Selby.

I agree, I think the original says Parish of Selby.  The lower curve of the S of Selby starts in the middle of where the 'u' now is in Church.

Thanks

That letter that starts in the 'u' of church, I see that as an l (a small L), going at an angle up to the top of the next letter.

Bear in mind it was not a marriage by banns (published 3 Sundays in church) and not a rush wedding either (about two months delay between Allegation and the Marriage Day) and he was buried by the Quakers as "Not in Membership". Also when George Hood applied in 1836 to become a Quaker I discovered in the Quaker Minutes he was refused Membership, as not quite ready.

I agree with Jebber and Jomot (above) that the words of Selby have simply been overwritten with the word Church, as follows:

of is under the Ch
S is between the u and the r
e is under the r
l is under the c
b is under the ascender of the h
y is inside the final hook of the h.

I wouldn't read anything particular into the delay -- the licence would have been valid for 3 months from date of issue.

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Thank you dobfarm very much for all the enhancements, I can see more of what was hidden.

What might simply be:-
a) a straight forward error,
b) is also making me question if George Hood felt he had an exemption from marrying in the Church,
but the Church decided no before the marriage and changed it.

To me, in the 1836 Report in those York Quaker Minutes regarding his Application to become a member, the Quakers appear very guarded about what they say about George Hood.


Then when it comes to Jane Hood (nee Casson) being booted out and a Certificate of Denial being issued against Jane Hood for marrying William Hood (like they are doing with others marrying outside their Meeting), Jane Hood held the marriage relation to be of a religious nature ... her intended husband's religious views were known to her as being in unison with those held by Friends.

The Quakers eventually decide We do not feel called upon to take further proceedings

William Hood wasn't a Quaker, but Jane Hood is the only one who seems to be getting special treatment, in marrying a non-Quaker.

The others who marry Non Quaker Members are effectively being disowned (excommunicated).

As you no doubt know, at this date the only groups who were exempt from marrying in a C of E church were Quakers and Jews. If George Hood felt he was exempt from diocesan jurisdiction, he would not have been applying to the diocese for a licence in the first place. The diocese was not involved with Quaker marriages – licences were issued only for C of E clergy to perform marriages within the Church.

As regards the alteration to the text as posted above, my money would undoubtedly be on (a), a straightforward error.
