At the Local Studies Centre at Sunderland City Library the great majority of the local parish registers are held on microfilm, as are the registers of the municipal cemeteries from 1856 to 1998. Monkwearmouth Shore was a township in the parish of Monkwearmouth. http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/Public/Editable/Themes/Lifelong-Learning/local-hi story.asp b) If someone died in Monkwearmouth Shore, where is the most likely burial place. It depends on the date, in 1838 it would be the graveyard at St. Peter's Church and the burials register from 1683-1891 is available at TWAS and should be at Sunderland. Mere Knolls Municipal Cemetery, was opened in 1856, as was Bishopwearmouth Cemetery. c) Have the MIs for Bishopwearmouth Cemetery been transcribed? The Local Studies Centre have some MIs and N&DFHS have some on fiche ut apparently not Bishopwearmouth. I hope this helps. Regards Stan Mapstone
