Hi, Listers: I've been wading through on-line images of Bishop's Transcripts for the Parish of Sunderland, and very interesting they are. The period 1769-1842 is covered by 1412 images. However, I discover that at least a third of these pertain not to Sunderland but to Wallsend in Northumberland. Is there some historical reason for this or is it just a plain mis-filing screw-up? In any case, where might I find the missing images for Sunderland? Do they in fact exist? Can anyone help, please? Bruce Dodd, Ottawa, ON

Hi Bruce, This was remarked on when the transcripts were first available. I posted this on the [DUR-NBL] list on 21 Apr 2008 Sunderland 1769-1842 has 1,412 pages, with no index, and there are a batch of transcripts for Wallsend parish among them. The Wallsend images run from number 119 to number 695 in Sunderland 1769-1842. They start with Baptisms 1813 and end with Burials 1823. I have not looked at the intervening pages so they may not be continuous. Sunderland 1830-1837 has 663 Images Sunderland 1837-1842 has 169 Images Bishopwearmouth is not listed On 11 June 2010 05:06, Bruce Dodd <bmdodd@rogers.com> wrote: > Hi, Listers: > > I've been wading through on-line images of Bishop's Transcripts for the > Parish of Sunderland, and very interesting they are.  The period > 1769-1842 is covered by 1412 images.  However, I discover that at least > a third of these pertain not to Sunderland but to Wallsend in > Northumberland. > > Is there some historical reason for this or is it just a plain > mis-filing screw-up? > > In any case, where might I find the missing images for Sunderland?  Do > they in fact exist? > > Can anyone help, please? > > Bruce Dodd, > Ottawa, ON > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
