Hello
As previously mentioned Leeds University Special Collections Library have a large Quaker collection deposited, for various places in the County of York, as I was enquiring if they had a George Hood of Selby (died Selby 18 September 1845). They sent me a link and told me that they had the burials all online, but I can't get it to work or understand how their online search works, I'll look out the link and post it and see what you make of it?
York Quakers also sent me this link to a pdf document of Yorkshire Quaker burial grounds ...
http://www.yorkquakers.org.uk/Resources/Burial%20Grounds%202015.pdfWhich might be of general interest?
Apparently, there were 20 burial grounds in the York area, but only 5 now remain in the ownership of the Friends per pdf doc.
When I enquired with the Quakers burial email address quoted in pdf doc, regarding William Hood of Selby, a Quaker according to Society of Friends - "The Annual Monitor" of 1871 (scanned and available free online), mentioning Wm Hood, Selby, who died 1870, their burial email only responded regarding the York burial ground, saying their Register had no Hood burials listed, at York.
I am looking for nine burials, of 9 Hood deaths at Selby, between 1845 and 1879! Just to see if it will assist me in getting back to / or confirm the previous generation.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=728231.396In 1835 George Hood of Selby, was sub-letting part of his business premises at Selby to a John Green and a daughter of John Green was later married in 1848 at Selby, by an Independent Minister, which may / may not suggest George Hood was an Independent dissenter?
Kind regards, Mark
