Hello to the Sunderland List, I have been reading the posts for a while now, but have never added anything of my own. I am on several mailing lists and this is one of the most informative. I enjoy reading about the addresses, even though I have never been in Sunderland. The lines I am researching were there for a time, though. Here are some of their names: George and Wilhelmina CLARKE & their daughter (dates unknown) Mary Catherine Reeves Kirkland CLARKE b 1812 & her husband Joseph KNOX b 1819 their daughter Anne Carr KNOX b 1847 her husband James KING b 1848 in Sunderland James KING was the only one born in Sunderland, the other were in Berwick on Tweed, Tweedmouth and Norham. The only occupation I know is for James KING. He was said to have been a glass blower or to have worked in the glassmaking industry. The Ann (KNOX) and James KING left England sometime between1848 and 1887 and settled in the US, where he continued work making glass. Are any of these names familiar to anyone? Best Wishes and thanks for keeping the board so interesting. Sue from Arkansas USA
