It is dedicated to Frederick William LARKIN and his wife Margaret. Margaret is the daughter of Luke and Elizabeth DOLAN. Margaret was born about 1878 in Sunderland, DUR, ENG possibly the youngest of eight known children. Father Luke was from Rosscommon, IRL, and mother Elizabeth was from Dumfries, SCT. Frederick William LARKIN was born in the Dec Qtr 1876, in Reeth, North Riding of Yorkshire. His father was Peter James LARKIN. The couple married in 1896 at St Mary's RC Church in Sunderland, and were prominent in the Roman Catholic community. The family has now sparked our interest - I have them on the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census. I wonder if anyone else is researching this family as I would love to know more, as would my sister. In particular my sister is interested in the beautiful monument with a large angel adorning the top. happy hunting Diane R Sunderland UK - ------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Good Morning Bryan, It may be worth looking at BUTCHER SHOPS. There was a Hogg's butcher's shop in Ormonde Street [Sunderland] when I was a child. It was sold to the father of a friend of mine in the 40s or 50s.

Mail seems to have ceased - is there a problem with the site or has all inspiration dried up. My wife has struck something similar on another mail list, everything stopping about 4 Nov, maybe the onset of colder weather has slowed things in the northern hemisphere. David Rowntree Tasmania

Hello everybody! I hope you don't mind but I'm trying to track down some elusive ancestors and I've just discovered that they lived in the Sunderland area for about 5 years around 1841, and I wondered if there was anybody who had access to that Census who would be willing to look up the family for me? The parents were Thomas and Isabella Theckston (also spelt Thexton, Theckstone, Theakston, Thackston and even Pickstone!) They were both born around 1800. Their children were Mary, Elizabeth, Jane and Sarah. I'm afraid I have no idea whereabouts in Sunderland they lived, though it is quite likely that it would be near a paper mill. I would be grateful for any help. Regards, Jane Watson.

Hello All Does anybody have the following in there tree, John Robson born 1840, his parents were (John Robson & Eleanor Urwin), married Eleanor Ann Hall, Parents (John Hall & Jane Dixon) in Sunderland 1860, they had a Son Douglas born Dec 1860. Maybe someone can help. Regards Allan Robson

I’m desperate to contact Anne Badger regarding her email too me via the Sunderland Echo website, as we have a common ancestor. Sarah Elizabeth Andrews married George Wailes Dickinson in 1914 and had a child George Dickinson born 1917/1918. Sarah Elizabeth Andrews died just after the birth of their son in 1917/1918 Sarah Elizabeth Andrews was born 1890 in Monkwearmouth. George Wailes Dickinson was born 1887 in Chester-Le-Street George Wailes Dickinson’s father was also called George Wailes Dickinson and was born abt 1853 in Hexham. He died about 1936 in Sunderland. I’ve also see a mention of Thomas Wailes Dickinson, but again, have been unable to contact the person who emailed me. It’s SO frustrating, as there is a definite connection, but I’m unable to get in touch with these people :-( If anyone else has connections to this family, then please let me know.

Hello List, I have sent Carolyn the page from the 1891 So others may wish to respond in other directions Yours Frank -----Original Message----- From: carolyn macri [mailto:cmacri@optusnet.com.au] Sent: 30 October 2004 01:08 To: ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SUNDERLAND] OLIVER / SPROAT This is my first post to this list. I am researching the family of Edward Sproat Oliver and his wife Jane Ayre. I know they were living at 51 Harrogate Street Bishopswearmouth in Durham in 1881. Is there a kind person out there, that would be able to have a look up at this same address for this family in 1871 and 1891. I know that Edward Sproat Oliver died in 1875 but Jane die not die until 1893. They had a son William Oliver aged 32 in 1881 and a Catherine A Oliver aged 30 in 1881. Jane was 66 and head of the house in 1881. I am hoping that his is the same family that was living in Liverpool Lancashire at one time, and I would love to know if they had any more children.

Stan, Being late on the list this may have come up before however I have been browsing http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/findbylocation.asp and it has some fantastic information and all directories are searchable, names, businesses etc. From Kelly,s 1890 I noted the populations of the various areas. It shows the Panns as an entirely different township albeit with a population of only 195. I havn't gone through the historical information available yet as there is masses in various directories but the site will provide answers to a lot of questions I have.

By 1851 there was an average of two-and-a-half families (or between 10 and 11 people) to each house in Sunderland Parish, and although The Panns was in Bishopwearmouth, I suppose it was no different there. Even in 1926, Sunderland Health and Housing Committee reported one house in the east end with eight rooms which had five tenants and a further twenty five lodgers. An adjoining house with seven rooms had four tenants plus another fourteen residents. Regards Stan Mapstone www.mapstone.org
