Hi Claire, Have you searched on Google Books? There is reference in "The Jurist" to the bankruptcy of Joseph Middleton Penman and Thomas Penman of Sunderland. Also - you probably know all this - there are many Google Book references to William Reid Clanny who wrote on the cholera of Sunderland. He refers several times to "Mr Penman", who assisted him. One of my own family, Reginald ORTON, (d 1835) was also much involved in the study of cholera. He is also mentioned in connection with William Reid Clanny. RO was a surgeon mainly with his regiment in India, where he first wrote of the disease. His nephew, also Reginald Orton, was a surgeon in Sunderland from 1836 until his death in 1862.
