There's this death Stoke On Trent 1864:- Deaths Jun 1864 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hood George Stoke T 6b 134 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You would need to order it to be sure it was the correct George Hood, no age is given which does not help. As for his Burial that would be a case of searching the Stoke Parish Registers, starting with his nearest Parish, not forgetting he may have been Non Conformist, some of them had Burial Grounds too. Linda.

Did Emma die before 1841 census? It might show if born outside county. But I can't find a birth or christening of Emma Reeves c1795 on IGI at Family Search. I'd suggest looking for Reeves occurrences in 1841. You might just tweak a brother or cousin. Presumably parents would be over 70 and probably deceased. As for the death of George Hood, ages only appear on death records after about 1865, when according to 1861 census age, he would be about 73. While there are seven possibilities before ages appear, only two are in Stoke on Trent Registration District which covers Hanley and there's only one over 73 before the next census. So you have a choice of three. Were there any other possibilities around his age in the area in 1861. It might eliminate the 82 yr old. Peter

I think Emma (Reeves) Hood must have died between 1827 when her last child was born and before  September 04, 1830 when he married again. ________________________________ From: Peter R Booth <pbo08596@bigpond.net.au> To: staffordshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 10:14 PM Subject: Re: [STAFFORDSHIRE] HOOD/ REEVES     Did Emma die before 1841 census?
