    3. Doris, Although in my innocence/ignorance I thought that the film that I had ordered would have images of the actual pages of the Sunderland Parish Church Register of Christenings, that was totally incorrect. That order was placed during my first visit to our local FHS (I have still only been there 4 times), and I blindly accepted the suggestions of one of the local volunteers as to what film I should order. I really had no clue as to the real contents of any of the various films/fiches that we found on the catalogue. In fact, Film 0471924 is described in the catalogue as "Computer printout of Sunderland, Durham, England". The title details go further to explain that it was "extracted for the controlled extraction program..." In other words (as I understand it) every person listed in that computer output should be recorded in the IGI. Certainly, since returning from the FHS today, I have found all of the children of "our" Henry Robson and Ann Henderson that I identified on the film, plus one that I must have overlooked when I scanned the film. Your "Isabella Robson" is shown on the IGI as "Isabel Robson, Born 26 August 1830, Daughter of James Robson and Isabel Tim". Dates of births and christenings are recorded separately. From the records that I noted down yesterday and today it would seem that very few christenings were recorded after the very early 1800s. The only further information that might perhaps be shown on the film would be father's occupation, and parents' places of birth. This information is shown on a minority of the records that I looked at. An even smaller minority also lists siblings of the newborn child. That film is due to be sent back to Utah in four days time, and I will be unable to get to the FHS until Tuesday, but will see if I can add anything to Isabella's info from the IGI. As for any connection between "your" James Robson and "our" Henry - who knows? I have not yet managed to identify where/when Henry was born, let alone who his parents were. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest Jones" <erniej@compuserve.com> To: <ENG-DUR-SUNDERLAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 8:58 PM Subject: RE: [genealogy] Re: [SUNDERLAND] LDS film 0471924 - Sunderland Parish Records - Christenings 1719 - 1836. > Hello Tim > > If you still have the Sunderland Parish Records could you look up Isabella > Robson christened 26 August 1830, father James Robson > mother ?Isabella ?Timm.
