This is an old thread, however in December 2006 there was a request for a photograph of the church which had been destroyed by enemy action in 1943. I have located an undated cutting from 'Sunderland Echo' which has a photo of the church taken in its early days. I willl attelpt to take a scan of this cutting if I can.

Hi Alan, My parents were married in St. Thomas's and I would like a copy if you can scan it. Stan

Does anyone know of a lady that used to be called Phylis Reay who worked in Brain Mills in the late 1950s. I think, at this time she was living with her Parents in Grindon.I am trying to help her old Friend Norma to contact her.We think she married a lad from Shotton who she met while on holiday with Norma. Any help would be much appreciated.Regards from Ann Hansen.

I have a photograph taken of the same house but which also shows the houses on the other side of the entrance with Garden Street School in the background. You can just see the school in the background at http://www.east-durham.co.uk/sunderland/sunderland.htm The lamp at the very left edge of the photo is at the end of Numbers Garth. Apart from that this is a very welcome new site which only appears to have been available from 9th. January 2008. Stan

I'd appreciate it if one of the List's 'sages' answer the following questions for me, please. I've read a document (posted under the auspices of Durham Records Online) called 'Historical Background of Monkwearmouth and its records' by Ken Coleman. Under the heading 'Seventeenth Century', a list is given of men who signed the 'Protestation Returns' for Monkwearmouth taken on 24 February 1641'. It then goes on to say that 'The Protestation Returns' for Bishopwearmouth are also available but have not yet been transcribed.' When did Ken Coleman write that Monkwearmouth document? Have 'The Protestation Returns' for Bishopwearmouth have now been transcribed, and are they available to view online? Mary Orton

Can anyone tell me where Stocks Hill, Monwearmouth was? Was it the name of a district of the parish? According to their death certificates, my great grandparents, Joseph and Mary Graham, were living there in the late 1850'S early1860. I also have them living in Millum Terrace and Hamilton Street. I know where both of these were. Joseph was a timber merchant and also a preacher at the Baptist Chapel on Halgarth Square which he helped to build. He was born in Scotland in about 1808. I don't know where. His wife was born Mary Ann English in Rothbury in 1810. Is any one else researching the Grahams? I have quite a bit of information I would be willing to share. Meg

I was wondering if anyone would have a suggestion why a family would move from Northern England to the Aberdeen, Scotland area around the time 1820? I have a couple that were born in Northumberland, married in Northumberland, and had 3 children there. The last was born there in 1816. By 1824 they were in Aberdeen, Scotland having their fourth child. The father was listed as "Husbandman", 1812..."Servant", 1815...and in the 1841 census for Aberdeen he was a Farmer. Two of the sons moved back to Northern England by the 1851 census. One lived in Monkswearmouth in 1851 and then left for America in 1854. I was just curious if anyone could think of a reason for the move. Was there anything happening in Northern England borders area around that time? Thanks, Margaret

Hi Meg, Stocks Hill was the area where Millum Terrace and Hamilton Street were. The actual stocks were near where the old National School was in Millum Terrace, and not far from the "Cage", a small prison cell, on Cage Hill. Apparently the stocks were still in existence in 1815. The present day site is about where the bend is in St. Peter's Way to the east of St. Peter's Church. Stan

There was Meeting Hill, Cage Hill, Lookout Hill and Palmers Hill, but I can't find a reference to Stocks Hill at the moment. Do you have them in the 1861 Census? Stan

Hello Heather, I am afraid this is not about the 1871 or 61 Census re' Abigail BROWN, but wondered if it was possible she was in anyway related to Abigail BROWN married in 1704, ( I realise a long way back ) to William THIRLBECK & IN 1712 to John WOODHOUSE, Abigail does seem to be a family name running through the generations.Abigail was my 7X grandmother Regards Ken Peterson

Hi Ken It is entirely possible that there is a connection between your Abigail BROWN and mine - however I am still stuck in the 1870s and 80, so haven't been able to trace her any further back. I am going to order the birth certificate and that way find her mother's name - that might help me find the family on the census records. Have you traced any of the siblings of your Abigail?
