Roker Methodist Church and Sans Street Methodist Chapel are in completely different parts of Sunderland. Roker is north of the river and Sans Steet south of the river. **There were a number of Methodist Chapels north of the river so it is not clear which one you mean by the Roker Methodist Church. The Assembly Rooms in Upper Sans Street became the Pavilion Cinema in 1907, and had been used by the Salvation Army from 1882.

Hi, Listers I have references to Roker Methodist Church, Sunderland, and Sans Street Methodist Chapel (or Mission?). Are these two churches or one referred to in two ways? It has been suggested to me that Sans Street might have been turned into a cinema. Did that actually happen? Does anyone know, please? Thank you Bruce Dodd, Ottawa, ON

Hi Everyone Just a note to say I have emailed Ancestry telling them that the 1916-2005 deaths have some errors - I choked some known deaths of mine and found they came up with Sunderland Northumberland -no wonder we cant find them ! Cheers Pat Phillips

Hi Pat, No. It does more than it says. I'd not like to guess what limitations there are. Try it with one of your known deaths, then, click BoR. Note the date or if recent, read the entries.

Hi Pat, It's worth trying the Sunderland City Council site these days. It does much more than is stated or widely known.

If I enter Sunderland for a location I get a choice of Sunderland Durham England United Kingdom, Sunderland Bridge England United Kingdom, and Sunderland Cumberland England United Kingdom, as well as three in the USA.

Hi Stan You mentioned that "In 1948 The ambulance office was situated temporarily in the grounds of the General Hospital, Chester Road. The staff consisted of an Ambulance Officer, twenty one drivers/attendants, with nine ambulances and three sitting cars." Prior to this the former ambulance station was located at "Eden Vale Garage" on Eden Vale Road (Source: County Borough of Sunderland NHS Act 1946, Amended proposals for carrying out duties - Ambulance Service) I'm not sure where exactly the garage was, if it was also a commerical garage or just used for ambulance services or indeed if the building is still there Rob

Hi Rob, Eden Vale was the Corporation Yard at that time, off Durham Road. If you put the post code SR47LP in search at http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm you can see it marked on the 1950 map.

Hi Joan, Sorry to say, but those names don't ring any bells. My mothers family 'Robson' comes down from Benjamin Allen Robson b.1833 in Sunderland and d.1932 aged 98. He was known as the 'old man of Hendon' and had an article about him in the Sunderland Echo. However, unless he had brothers, whose offspring match the names you mention, then I can't see any connection. I know he had a sister Elizabeth but I have found no brothers as yet. I shall keep you in mind if I come across any of those.

Hi, Just a suggestion,since ROBSON is a popular name (except for me)in these parts why not reply on list except for the living (those that are more interested, can always get back to you off line). Also, by putting you info. on list it also goes in the archives.

Hi: I think I can help for a change instead of always asking. I can provide a little relevant Robson info, but since some of the players are still living, I suppose I should reply off line. Bruce Dodd Ottawa, ON

Is anyone out there researching ROBSON family history? In particular, the Hendon area of Sunderland is of interest. Family names that come to mind are:- Thomas Robson b.1868 married Hannah Young b.1871 in Sunderland in 1891. sibling were:- Robert Gordon b.1892 Ellen b.1894 Margaret Hannah b.1897 May b.1900 Gladys b.1901 Thomas b.1904 William b.1913 If these look familiar to anyone doing similar research, I would love to hear from them. We could perhaps, swap notes. Dave

I'm wondering what role the St. Johns Ambulance Association may have played in the early days; certainly they were involved with patient care and transport during the First World War. Maybe a lister may have more about the local branches of the Association and Brigade they can share.
