Hi List, This is my request for help in what seems an impossible task. Is anyone researching HALL's in Sunderland I have found my GG, John HALL (what an uncommon name!), or John Fortune Hall a coal miner, born circa 1861in Sunderland, son of John Hay HALL, master mariner, (no info). In March 1891 he married Dorothy A GREENWELL in Newcastle (9 Low Friar Street) but moved immediatetly to Felling. My grandfather, Edward Greenwell HALL, (known later as Edward GREENWELL) was born in Felling a year later. Dorothy died two years later and Edward was brought up by his Grandmother Elizabeth FATKIN (previously GREENWELL ms PEARSON), but all trace of John HALL , beyond his marriage registration and the 1891 census, has eluded me. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. John Leadbeater Newton Kyme, North Yorks Researching GREENWELL, PEARSON, AINSLEY, COULSON and HALL in Co Durham and Newcastle

A pleasant surprise to have so many people interested in the Carneys of Sunderland, for the record my wife's ancestors go, Peter Carney (Kearney) married Jane Mankin in 1854 their son Matthew Carney married Martha Bainbridge in 1873 and whose son Matthew married Margaret Bell in 1892 and whose son James moved to Peterborough. If anyone has any connections we would be delighted to hear from you There are several brothers and sisters along the line. i.e. Thomas, John, Jane, Elizabeth, I have one query, maybe Stan can help. On the death certificate of first Matthew Carney dated 12 March 1900 it gave the place of death as Crown inn Queen Street. I have located Queen Street on the older maps and I wondered where I might get any reference to the Inn, I trying to find out if he was a lodger there, or just a bar customer when the heart failure occurred, The certificate also states that his son Thomas was in attendance, does this mean he was with his father at the time of death or does it mean that he only identified the body afterwards. Any help or comments greatly appreciated Regards Brian. All outgoing mail scanned by Norton Anti Virus.

I have a card given to my father in 1931, when he won the CARNEY cup for Bowling in a competition held at Roker Park. I seem to remember his telling me that Mr. Carney was himself a bowler. Margaret Murdoch

The Carney family certainly get about as witnesses at weddings. The witness at my Grandmothers marriage 25/11/1911 in Sunderland was J Carney. My granparents were Jessie LEDGER of Shore Street and Arthur DODSWORTH of Williamson Terrace.

Hi All I am requesting a favour from anyone who has the 1861 census CD to look up my Grt Grandfather James Allan he would have been aged 26, by profession a Seaman or Master Mariner, he was married, his spouse Elizabeth no surname, he would have married between 1858-1861 in Sunderland, he was born in Scotland no other details, religion Methodist. Thank you Regards Allan 12/11/03 19:55pm

Hi David Family Search http://www.familysearch.org/ list William Carney born 1810 and William Kerney born 1814 both in Monkwearmouth. I am also interested in the Carneys of Sunderland, my wife is a Carney and her father was born in Sunderland, but I am now sure that they originally came from Monaghan Ireland, circa 1830. Be aware of the numerous variations in the spelling. Hope this is of some use Brian All outgoing mail scanned by Norton Anti Virus.

Henry Stothard Carney was a witness at my father's wedding in Sunderland in 1922. Regards Stan Mapstone

Hi I was wondering whether anyone has any details, or could help me with the following 1) William Carney, Husband, born abt 1814, Monkwearmouth 2) Mary, Wife, born abt 1817, Sunderland 3) Edward, Son, born abt 1834, Bishopswearmouth The family moved to Newport, MON between 1834 and 1842. I then find them in the 1851, 1861 and 1881 censuses. Mary seemed to be married quite young at approx 16 years in abt 1833. William was a Master Shipwright in 1861, so maybe involved in the Docks/Ship Building. Brunel worked on the docks in Sunderland at the time, so perhaps William came south with Brunel after he had finished? Yours David HB

Hello Andrew If my memory serves me right when as a child I sat the Sunderland Scripture Exam just as we were known as Hartley Street so Sidecliffe Rd. church was read out in the results as Sidecliffe Road. Also in a book of "Churches and people in a Presbyterian Story" published by St. Georges, Sunderland there is an outline chart which indicates Sidecliffe Rd. as opened in 1910. Was there a street called New Lodge St. in Sunderland ? From the above book " In Monkwearmouth union" (of the Presbyterian Churches) "meant there was two churches of the same denomination within 150 yards of each other. The Scotch Church on North Bridge St. and the former UP Church which had begun as Hamilton St. and now occupied St. Stephens on a site just north of the bridge."
