I think I have found George Wood & Elizabeth Cockin on 1851 census. I cannot find them as a family with George Henry 1847, who would be 3/4 by 1851 census.

1851 cens @ Gowthorp, Selby, North Yorks.   HO107/ 2351/188/p 3
George Wood, Head, 33, Mar. Inn Keeper (Grey Horse) Born Hensall, Yorks
Elizabeth, wife, 29. Mar. Born Clementhorp, Yorks.

I know this area very well and there is a Clementhorpe at Gilberdyke which is next to Blacktoft. On transcription it is Clemewsbroup, Yorks...

1861 cens @ Bridge Street, Broughton, Brigg, Lincolnshire. RG9  /  2399  5  3
Elizabeth Wood, head, 39, Wid. No occupation listed.  Born Blacktoft, Yorks
William, son, unmar, 15.  Cannot make out his occupation  ?? Draper??    Born Blacktoft, Yorks
Mary R, dau, 7. Scholar. Born Thorne
John T, son, 4. Born Brigg

Could this be the family of John Wood & Rebecca??

1841 cens @ Sandholme, nr Eastrington, Yorkshire  (Sandholme is between Eastrington & Gilberydyke)
John Wood, 65. Farmer
Rebecca, 60.
William, 25.
George, 20.
Joseph, 20.
No occupation listed for the last 3. All Born in County.

This is most likely the correct family as George would have easy access to Gilberdyke and Blacktoft to meet Elizabeth Cockin.

Cannot find John Wood on 1851 cen, so possibly died, here is two possible deaths in the District for Sandholme/Eastrington/Gilberdyke/Blacktoft areas.

Sep Q 1843  Howden District, John Wood

Jun Q 1846  Howden District, John Wood

this is all, covering from 1841-51 FreeBMD.

Joseph Wood c 1821 of where?? son of John & Rebecca Wood, maybe Hensall like siblings George & William, so there is a census that would fit Joseph..
and I think he has George Henry Wood aged 4 yrs Nephew..
