Richard Gibson married 1792 Selby- 1800 trade directory a Cooper Wren lane Selby

Unlikely to help with your search for George, but going back to Richard Gibson there is a newspaper article in the Chester Chronicle and also the  Stamford Mercury dated 16 September 1791 referring to "an ingenious Cooper in Selby" who had made a barrel that could hold three different sorts of liquor at the same time, with the single cock able to draw any of the three without mixing any of the others.  Possibly a patent record somewhere?

Looking at the Window Tax records for Selby c1780 ~ It does list Jo Hood as a Miller, hasn't a miller been mentioned before ? it has been crossed out, but I'm looking at the record below him which mentions him with a JANE ? ? ?.

Wonder if she could be his second wife (to be)

EDIT: Sorry it's only small, I just can't get the hang of re-sizing

If you can manage to find the original search page there are for Selby church records, sacrament money records, poor law records, all very interesting

Great find Claire - it could put a whole new spin on things. 

George Hood's bondsman was a Miller, and the Cockin family I was looking at as the possible marriage witness were also Millers.  Jane Casson's father was also a Miller, and the 1911 shows Edwin Hood's father-in-law Joseph Smith Shaw as a Miller Farmer.
