Hello Goughy, dobfarm and All,
Please see my questions near the bottom, I have had all my photocopies out and come to the conclusion that there must be some missing Hood (sideways) connections in the Selby area, which I hope will lead back to other earlier Hood's.
One point passed down, was that forenames were taken from the previous generation. However, I have noticed that mainly in the sideways connections (from the direct line of descent) that surnames have appeared as middle names, between 1854 and 1884.
July 1815 George Hood (birth unknown) marries Sarah Russel (born Selby 30 Sept 1793), my 4 X Gt. Grandparents.
Known Children of Geo Hood Marrying
1847 John Hood, tanner, of Selby, marr Sarah Richardson at Sculcoates (from Certificate), my 3 X Gt Grandparents.
1851 William Hood of Selby, brewer, marr Jane Casson (born Thorne), at Scarbro' Register Office.
1851 James Hood, currier, marr Sarah Arundel, both of Selby.
1855 George Hood, farmer, marr Ann Marrison (born Blyth, Notts), at Selby.

1858 John Wilkinson Hood (James Hood was Son-in-Law of 'Head' Mary Wilkinson, but James wife was nee Arundel)?
1861 Matilda Vincent Hood (born March Qtr, but not on 1861 Census? Died 1862) - Where in 1861 Census, Hood/Emily Vincent (parents per IGI) a bit of a mystery??
1861 William Russell Hood (William R Hood) at Ousegate 1861 with James & family & Mary Wilkinson (Head). Russel was the surname of Sarah Russel, wife of George Hood Sen'r (so middle name taken from 2 generations back).
1863 Mary Beatrice Hood (not searched for) - Beatrice can be a surname & forename.
1870 Bernard Pearson Hood born Scarbro' District (son of James Hood online source, not chk'd), investigating, Birth Cert ordered.
Two John Hood deaths in the Registration District of Selby in Dec Qtr 1860, separated by one page in Register (both Certs ordered).
I have ordered Certificates for the remaining marriages and others for some of these above.
James Hood was Son-in-Law of Mary Wilkinson, per Census.
Elizabeth Cook Hood, or Cook surname, wonder how this fits?
Bernard Pearson Hood, or Pearson surname, does this link to a previous Hood generation, I am wondering (Cert ordered for birth address in Scarbro' District)?
Matilda Vincent Hood registered March Quarter 1861. IGI - apparently daughter of:- Hood and Emily Vincent born in the March 1861 Qtr. Baptised later at Drax 5 June 1861, died in 1862 (Birth Cert ordered).
Hannah Hood death March Qtr 1868, aged 24, death registered in the Selby District, not noticed previously in the Selby Census's as born Selby (Cert ordered).
Incidentally, there was a marriage 24 December 1839 in the Parish Church of Riccall John Hood to Elizabeth Lazenby, both of full age, but Batchelor and Spinster, registered at Selby (from GRO Cert).
I might discover a little more as the Certificates arrive, but surnames Cook, Vincent and Pearson and a few odds and ends are unclear?
The Russel in William Russell Hood, goes back two generations.
Thanks Mark
