Hi, Listers All: Thanks to those who offered help re the Bishop's Transcripts. In addition, I have to apologize to Stan Mapstone. I ought to have known that the subject of Wallsend's transcripts' being included within Sunderland's would already have been covered, and looked for it. It adds weight to my suspicion that I'm not always smart enough to use what I already know. But the Bishop's Transcripts, especially for the Parish of Sunderland, seem still a bit of a mystery. Are those shown on that web site all that exist, even in the Bishop's archives; or only those that have been digitized; or only a subset of those digitized selected to be shown on the site? Is there another site to be consulted? Another source of Sunderland or other transcripts? And, as a matter of pure curiosity, can anyone suggest a reason that the error still persists ? Thanks, Bruce Dodd
