Hello, I have been on the Sunderland list for some time now, hoping for a bite on one person who is eluding me. However, I have found nothing that is related to my family yet. So I thought perhaps someone else might be waiting as I have been and I would like to put out an APB for my missing Great-great grandfather. His name is James (or possibly John) William "Peter" Horn. He is said to be born 1868 and married Rose Baker in Sunderland, Northumberland April 13 1891. He was a soldier and came from a family with 9 sisters. Once he married Rose (a gypsy) he was disowned. He and Rose are said to have come to Canada in 1904, landing in Montreal. I would appreciate any help or information anyone can give me on how to find him in Sunderland. Most sincerely, Jennifer Schack

Hi Jennifer If this is Peter and family in 1901 then Peter born in Durham. Herrington doesn't seem to be aplace but maybe a mistranscription of Merrington or maybe even Heighington. Perhaps Stan Mapstone could help with the geography. Hope this helps.
