Hi Listers, The recent postings about Sunderland Churches has prompted me to ask about what the the IGI refers to as 'Old Meeting or Corn Market Chapel'. The registers for that Church record my HALLS (John Hay 1822, William 1824, John 1828, George 1832, Jane Porteous 1835, and Isabella 1836) I suspect their parents, William and Christian, were maried there but I cannot find any reference to marriages or burial registers. Does anyone know of the Church and its history? Would the mariages and burials have been recorded elsewhere or have gone unrecorded? Any information would be much apprecited, as would contact from anyone who's lines might spring from the HALLs, HAYs FORTUNES or PORTEOUSs in Sunderland. John Newton Kyme
