George Hood Burial where? Died Selby, Yorks 18 September 1845 Part 3

[BushInn1746]

Hello All

dobfarm, this 'gravestone' near Selby Catholic Church.

Facing the Catholic Church, with your back to the road, is this grave on your left, or right side of the church boundary wall?

In the front garden, or to the rear of a property?

Can you see it from the pavement, or did you see it from the Churchyard looking over the Church boundary side wall, or back wall?

Apparently, the Tannery lately occupied by Mrs Hood was still there after the R.C. Church was built.

2. Re these Sexton, or Graveyard or Churchyard books, I have the photocopy pages for an Aircrew, as well as the Register entries and they can be useful, when the graveyard memorials remain pretty much intact.

Kind regards, Mark

Very possible more headstones at the back or headstones moved and propped up against a wall at the back removed from where the cark is now.

Saw gravestone while sat upstairs on a double decker bus from Leeds in front of the church. ( free buspass)

Real is a shot in the dark this and most likely a vicar or an important  somebody of the church but also could be George with your missing burials.

 In the link photo- back of white van, under the first arched window, directly in front of  a lonesome one off - deep maroon red rose tree but zoom in as gravestone blends into the church walls background. Headstone has a see through cross shape and looks  like a chess pawn outer shape with a head stone and a flat stone over the grave.

According to Verger at Selby Abbey,  Selby Sexton records held at Leeds City Archives

Hello Goughy and All

Thanks, that explains why we couldn't find the plan or Graveyard/Churchyard (Sexton) Book in the Borthwick paper Indexes. The only document related to the floor of the Abbey Floor, but was too general.

Son of James and Sarah Hood of Selby
Although not in my direct lineage and me being a generation further back (from James and Sarah Hood of Selby), I thought at £9.25 the 1863 Birth Certificate of their son James Alfred Hood was worth a gamble, for possible address of an elderly (sideways) Hood relative, because by 1865 James and Sarah Hood were back in Selby.

Question
I am after please, an 1861 Census and (close to) 1863 Street Directory look-up please?

For the following address ...

REGISTRATION DISTRICT - SUNDERLAND
BIRTH in the Sub-district of South Bishopwearmouth in the County of Durham
Born 34 Blandford Street Sunderland Bishopwearmouth [address has gone into the name column]
Name, if any James Alfred 20

[Haven't got a clue why 20 appears in the name column, unless the place had numbered districts]

James Hood Father 34 Blandford Street Sunderland and Occupation as Chandler (Foreman)

The 25th September 1863 birth was registered on 5th November 1863.

Regards Mark

[Goughy]

In 1861 living at 34 Blandford Street were a David (born 1831) and Dinah Rankin.  Both born Sunderland.  Occ Master Carpenter.  Also in building was a John P (Occ Draper) and Catherine McGregor

Thanks dobfarm
Because James and Sarah Hood were in Bishopwearmouth / Sunderland in 1863 (per Birth Certificate) and then back in Selby for the birth of their next child, it left me wondering:-
(i) possibly nursing an elderly relative (currently uknown) and/or
(ii) possibly present at death (of person unknown)

Yes, "John Clark of Selby" and Clarkson surnames cropped up in George Hood's Selby property registrations.

I'll look at a newspaper Hood death, I have noted for the North-east area.

In 1861 living at 34 Blandford Street were a David (born 1831) and Dinah Rankin.  Both born Sunderland.  Occ Master Carpenter.  Also in building was a John P (Occ Draper) and Catherine McGregor

Thanks Goughy, nothing obvious, but the address narrows down where they were in the Sunderland Registration District.

that's just what you need - just one Hood connection to an area other than Selby & Scarborough
