Confirm again there's only two Nathanial deaths coming up in transcribed indexes (after Roger's Will 1727) in Yorkshire

1745 Malton occupation skinner
1751 Heslington occupation Householder

No wills indexed

Several others in Wiltshire, Bedfordshire, Somerset, Suffolk Cambridgeshire  (One will in Strood Kent)

[Goughy]

EDITED: ignore

[Goughy]

Do you have Roger's will?  I can clearly see that Nathanial is "of Selby Co. of Ebor (i.e. York) but I can't make out where Ann was of?   It look as though William Middleton, Cordwainer (?husband of Elizabeth - had she died?) was of the same place as Ann.  I'm rubbish as reading early Wills!!

Might help search for the needle in the haystack of an "Ann Todd"

Hello Goughy and dobfarm

Yes, found possible burials (#356) in Selby transcriptions for Elizabeth Middleton and Ann Todd (if correct ones - both nee Hood).

See part of the Wakefield Deeds search response at reply #345 (in relation to the Ousegate property in the Will Roger Hood of Selby at reply #354), re Wakefield Registry reference to Ann Todd's Will.

EDIT - Who Mary Langfield is - a mystery?

Looked on FindMyPast, both:- York ... and the Prerogative ... Courts, no Will / Probate for Ann Todd of Selby?

I'll have to contact Borthwick, but no obvious Ann Todd Will.

Wondering, if George's mother was a Hood and to prevent the Selby/Wistow Hood name ending (apparently ancient, per Wheater's book - Hodd and Hud), John Hood of Selby / George Hood of Selby adopted Hood, rather than their birth surname.

Also, if there really was a George Hood widower (1831 Deed Registry) or if a transcribing error?

EDITED - 'Hood of Selby' could explain (Samuel Hood Barber and Surgeon from Selby buried Thorganby 1st July 1737) http://www.thorganby.co.uk/burials2.htm , why John Hood, Mariner and George Hood's name was fashioned 'Hood of Selby', but neither John or George was a 'Gent'.

Somewhere a Nathaniel Hood must be buried (in Roger Hood's Will).

Not a single Hood in Scarborough St Mary M.I. book of 877 M.I.s, so don't know if the Hood memorial suggested to be inside, is true or not?
