I have done a 'Google' search and found three family history references to Ellerslie Terrace but no information as to where it was. I did find reference to '36 Elleslie Terrace' so the street was even bigger than suggested. Streets within roads in Sunderland will probably continue to cause problems. Quite close to where I live is 'Ashleigh Terrace' within Atkinson Road and also Holyoake Terrace and Garcia Terrace, both within Mere Knolls Road. Alan Vickers.

Hello Sue, I would definately be interested in any information on the Kinley family, Margaret KINLEY married William RIDLEY my G Grandfather 14/08/1871 and my information on her family is quite sketchy as I could never a birth certificate with the correct parents. I also have lots of other names on my copy Parish records and will try to go through them and post the names, I am sure that we all sit on information that could help someone. Best regards & a Happy New Year to all.

If you look on www.historicaldirectories.org you can search for all sorts of things. For example, there is George Allison, Builder, Fulwell Road in Kellys Directory of 1890 for Durham. Terraces then were often complete blocks built on a road of another road. For example, I am still looking for 11 Kensington Terrace, where Miles Abstemious Pearson lived in 1890 - according to Kelly - but there is no such number in Kensington Terrace in the 1891 census - it reappears in the 1901 census. The whole block was on a road named something else. Geoff Pearson Scotland, UK

Clifford, Just a few thoughts - In a response to one of your earlier messages to the Northumbria list I see a reference to "Campbell Terrace, Fulwell Road". Perhaps Campbell Terrace was a building, not a street. And perhaps you should be searching Roker rather than Seaburn. Have you looked at all the available trade directories etc for the period? http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/ncl/TradeDir3.html shows a pretty fair list of library holdings in the region which might help?

There are a number of examples in Sunderland, especially on the long main roads. There was an Argyle Terrace on Fulwell Road between Sea Lane and Brown Road, and also a Wardell Terrace on Fulwell Road at the Roker Baths Road end between All Saints Church and Sutherland Street. Regards Stan Mapstone www.mapstone.org

In the 1914 Directory there was a Campbell Crosby, House Decorator, at 12 Campbell Terrace, but unfortunately there is no street directory for Fulwell. Regards Stan Mapstone www.mapstone.org

Hello I came across the following headstone today in the Sydenham Cemetery here in Christchurch, New Zealand. She is not a relative of mine but may be of interest to someone. I have a digital photo if anyone would like a copy. In Loving Memory of ADALINA MARY WIFE OF THE LATE GEORGE HUDSON OF SUNDERLAND, ENGLAND AND ONLY DAUGHTER OF THE LATE REV. JOHN BLACK (FIRST GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF ENGLAND) DIED 26TH SEPTEMBER 1915 AGED 61. Regards Tony Rackstraw researching the following Sunderland families: RACKSTRAW, PATTY, FARROW, BAXTER, WIGHAM, LINCOLN, WALLACE, PALLAS, WISBACH, GARTH, CHEIN, GIBSON, SMILES, James Christopher Hudspeth or Thomas William Thompson, O'HAIR, LOADMAN, PEACOCK, WOOLER, CLEMENT, MARR and BELL.

Clifford - I am not sure where Cambell Street was but will try to find out. I have not been able to locate it on the maps that I have. The 1899 directory lists about eleven names of people living in Cambell Terrace. R Potts, Blacksmith ws living in No 4 at that time. Alan Vickers.

There was a George Herbert Allison, engineer, Dene Works, Residence 3 Campbell Tce Fulwell listed on the 1899/1900 Wards Directory. Sadly I can't seem to find it on any maps I have either.

109 years ago today, in 1896, my Father (Howard Gourley Allison) was born at 4 Campbell Terrace in Fulwell. Last year, I went in search of this address in the seaburn area but it seems that Campbell Terrace no longer exists - since when, I don't know. Does anyone recall this street, and/or can they point me to an old map that might show it? What sort of area was Campbell Terrace? Might number four have been a maternity home? The address is unknown to me in any other context. Any clues please? Thanks in anticipation, Clifford Allison

Hi list This is a very long shot to start the new year with but here's hoping someone out there may be able to help me. I have recently received the marriage certificate of my husbands grandparents. They married in Lincolnshire but Granny came from Sunderland. Thomas Burt TAYLES to Jane ARMSTRONG in 1928 Jane was born in 1903 in Sunderland (exact date unknown), her father was James ARMSTRONG and he was a boilermaker. Jane went to Lincolnshire in domestic service. She had a sister called Alice and a brother called Robert. This unfortunately is all that I know about her. Can anyone help with any further details or is this a bit too vague? Regards Den TAYLES Northants

I am trying to trace the following family who are proving very elusive I'm afraid. John Stafford WATERS b. 1845 in Durham Sunderland m. Sarah Jane HORE b. 1855. I believe Sarah's mother's name was Mary Ann. Their first two children also born Durham were William b. 1867 and Elleanor b. 1875. I believe the family then moved to Milford Haven. John Stafford was a plumber as was his brother William. If anyone has any knowledge of this family I would love to hear from you. Regards Lyn Tregilgas Adelaide South Australia
