Would anyone have access to the 1901 and 1911 census to let me have a transcript of those resident at Monkwearmouth and Southwick Dispensary on Roker Avenue, Monkwearmouth? Many thanks Rob

The "Eye Plan of Sunderland and Bishopwearmouth was drawn between 1785 and 1790 by James Rain, the parish surveyor of Bishopwearmouth. A copy has been available for some years from the Sunderland Antiquarian Society. http://www.sunderland-antiquarians.org/ Rain's Eye Plan (Note 7 feet wide by 2 feet high) Prrice £7.50 (plus post and packing) Did you find the information about the Salters Tracks of any interest.

Hi Bruce, It is Germanicus Oceanus, or the German Ocean, the original name for the North Sea. The North Sea was known as the German Ocean until the early 20th C., when hostilities with Germany meant this name became politically unacceptable in Britain.

Hi, Listers: I have just received on loan (my cousin is emphatic on that point) an aging whiteprint (I suspect an ozalid) of a map entitled, in an ornate title block "An EYE PLAN. of Sunderland and Bishp(sic) Wearmouth from the South by J Rain``. There is a secondary note in the corner ``Copied >From the Original Plan by Victor Bain and Norman Wigrell, Architects, 1909`` (I can`t be certain of the spelling of Wigrell``). The North Sea is labelled ...anicus oceanus, which may, perhaps, refer to the word ``Sands`` below. Little of Monkwearmouth appears beyond some shoreline buildings, and a fancy note, thus ``Monk Wearmouth Shore is held by LEASE for certain Lives under Sir Hedworth Williamson Barnt of Whitburn``. (I suppose that would account for Hedworth Terrace, where the 1881 census found my grandparents.) The map is full of cheerful illustrations of ships and keels in the river, a rope walk, a church yard filed with stones that look like picnic tables, a windmill, a bottle factory, and so on. Assuming that this map is well known to local historians, I`m hoping that someone can tell me the date of the original. And what ``for certain lives`` means. Thanks, as always, Bruce Dodd, Ottawa, Between spasms of Olympics fixation on the TV.

Alan, You posted in October;    "Rob - there is a note on the website for St. Benet's Church, Monkwearmouth that says: "April 1st 1916 a Zeppelin raid caused a number of casualties in the area, blew out most of the windows in the Church, School and Monestry and damaged the doors." Alan Vickers." I have just looked at this web site, and for some reason next to this entry, they have a photograph which shows the wheels of a Heinkel bomber that crashed in Suffolk Street on 5th/6th September 1940 http://www.stbenetsparish.org.uk/ChurchHis.htm Stan Mapstone

David - I was born in Fence Houses and lived there for a number of years but I have to say that I have never heard of Rothsay House so I cannot help in regard to its location. Alan Vickers.

If you go to http://www.britishpathe.com/ and put Sunderland in "Search the Archive" there are a lot of interesting films relating to Sunderland. Stan

I have a marriage cert. for William Parker Westgarth and Alice Beaton at St. Matthew's church Newbottle in 1909. It gives his address as Rothsay House in Fence Houses near Houghton-le-spring. Can anyone remember where Rothsay House is or was with some directions to it. I've looked on old maps but cannot locate it. Dave Warne

Dear List, I have been told that my Aunt had a Hairdressing Salon under Victoria Hall in the early 1940's. This apparently was bombed during the 2nd World War. Her name was Jane Reed. I cannot remember her married name around then as she was a war widow and she re-married just after the war. Does anyone have any information on this or any photos of the Victoria Hall from just before it was bombed please. Judy

Hello Stan Thanks very much for your helpful reply. Interesting to hear that the Hall was located on Calver Street. I suppose this was named after Captain Edward Killwick Calver, RN, who was instrumental in establishing the Hall and the later Monkwearmouth and Southwick Dispensary. He seems to have been an interesting character who lived in Southwick for many years and married a Sunderland girl. His obituary is on the ICE Virtual Library site (currently not functioning) but makes no reference to his time in Sunderland or Southwick. I'd be intrigued to learn more. I wonder if you or any of the other listers may know more? Rob
