Hi I wonder if anyone out there would be kind enough to do a look up on the 1851 census for Jarrow. I am looking for JANE MCKENNA, approx 1 year old, born in JARROW Her father was JAMES MCKENNA born in IRELAND, a labourer at the shipyards. Jane was later living in Walker when she married William Leighton in 1868. Any help greatly appreciated. Liz Leighton

Good Morning..............if there is a 1851 census for the Bishopwearmouth area could someone please look up...........................ROBERT SMITH, wife JANE (nee Hardy) and there should be a 3 year old son William. I'm trying to find out if there were other siblings. As always I appreciate all the help you give but I do apologize about SMITH........so challenging trying to find the right ones. Look forward to hearing from someone.........................Judy

Thanks to all for their help in locating Christopher Street,sunderland. Very much appreciated. Regards Brian Cook

Hi Brian, I have found Christopher Street in a 1914 Directory, it ran from White House Road to Burlington Road and is the first street west from Hendon Road.

Hi Can anyone help please? I'm trying my trace my grandmothers family and I have very little information to go on. I thought if I put all I have down here then someone may be able to add to it. My grandmother was Jane ARMSTRONG born 1903. Her father was James ARMSTRONG a boilermaker. (from her marriage certificate) Her mother may of been called Sarah and she had an elder sister called Alice and 3 brothers, Robert, William & Thomas. They are believed to be from the Hendon area. At the moment I've drawn a blank on this family so any help would be appreciated. Regards Den Northants

They were indeed in Monkwearmouth in the 1851 census. HO107/2398 folio 25. Bottom of the page. Tinkers Row Greenwell, Ralph, head, married, 24, coal miner, Northumberland, Wallsend Greenwell, Alice, wife, married, 25, Northumberland, Benton Greenwell, Jane, daur, 7 mo, Durham, Monkwearmouth If you would like the image contact me off list. Janis

Alice HAMILTON married Ralph GREENWELL on 20 Sep 1847 at All Saints Newcastle. in 1851 they had a daughter Sarah Jane - born 6 Sep 1850. Ralph was a pitman, as was Alice's father James. Could someone please look them up on the 1851 census. They MAY have moved to Monkwearmouth by then. Thanks, John

Hi Avril Thanks for the info but according to the marriage certificate they were aged 21 and 20 in 1883, that would make Michaels age right but Annie has already lost 10 years!!

Hi Frances I too am having problems with DOYLE's from the area. I have Michael born Sligo Ireland Feb 29 1860, I know he moved to the Sunderland area but don’t know when, he married Annie MAUGHAN at Hexham 26 Nov 1883 but that is as much as I can be sure of at the moment.

Hi I am not certain, but I would think that an "equestrian jester" would have been a clown who involved stunts on horseback in his act? Anyone else got any ideas? It is certainly an interesting occupation!!

Hello All If anybody comes across the following Baptism in there Parish Records or happen to not notice it while searching would you please let me know as John's birth is not Registered on the St Catherines Index as follows: John Robson was born around 1840 his parents were John Robson (Joiner) and Eleanor Urwin, his birthplace according to the 1861 Census was Bishopwearmouth but that could be wrong, I have been searching for his Baptism for quite some time. Many Thanks Allan Robson

I am searching for information on my Great Grandfather Michael Staples who lived in the Sunderland area from approx 1922 until his death in 1963. He moved there from Grimsby Lincolnshire with his wife Ada and children. If anyone has any directories of Sunderland in the 1920s-1930s, could you please have a look and see if he is liste?. He was supposed to be an analytical chemist (Death Certificate), but have also found his occupation as, General Dealer and Perfumery Dealer. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks David Staples
