Hi Mark.
I don't think this George Hood age
30 upwards X Isabella Robinson, age 21 marriage 1831 and the death of this George Hood died at Tarlogie in 1846
age 51. If it had been the other way round being 10 years
before the Gateshead George Hood son of John Hood baptism 1786 , then he could have been born 10 years before his baptised. You have an age of birth years parameters 1795 to 1800 a good 9 to 14 years
after the Gateshead George Hood baptism 1786.
So
its not confirmed.
Facts are what is,
not what one wants if the facts don't fit ones likings - hence cover all angles as and when.
1841 census being the first naming people as always been a bit iffy and who gave the enumerator the info/ same as death certificate age depending the person who register the death knowledge the deceased's true death age or not.
So! Its on record to go back too.and I fully understand you wanting to keep your mind on your present thoughts of research.
(I read somewhere you thought the Selby death of George Hood 1845 in the Quaker ground
maybe was because the Abbey C of E would not have George buried in the Abbey graveyard? but George was involved in the parish being an Overseer also married as C of E 1815 . My opinion is it was Quaker Cassion Hood who got both George and Sarah (Russell) buried in the Quaker burial ground and thus George was seriously involved in the C of E Selby parish.)
One day something may turn up
I had the same problem with my maternal umpteen Gt granddads back, Thomas Tidmarsh born 1771 ish back on the 1841census for Balsall in Warwickshire birth place Staffordshire, I could not find his baptism till I found his daughters marriage, her surname Tidmarsh but her father signed himself as witness Thomas
Tidmash (no R) and I soon found his baptism Thomas Tidmash (No R) 1771 in Atherstone and years later found a poor relief Oveseerers record in Balsall as Thomas
Tidmas (no R or H) payment from Atherstone Parish Overseer (Parish of birth). So keep looking.
