I'd appreciate it if one of the List's 'sages' answer the following questions for me, please. I've read a document (posted under the auspices of Durham Records Online) called 'Historical Background of Monkwearmouth and its records' by Ken Coleman. Under the heading 'Seventeenth Century', a list is given of men who signed the 'Protestation Returns' for Monkwearmouth taken on 24 February 1641'. It then goes on to say that 'The Protestation Returns' for Bishopwearmouth are also available but have not yet been transcribed.' When did Ken Coleman write that Monkwearmouth document? Have 'The Protestation Returns' for Bishopwearmouth have now been transcribed, and are they available to view online? Mary Orton
