    1. [ENG-DUR] Hendon and Washington, County Durham
    2. Mike Wearing
    3. Hello County Durham list, I have an ancestor, Mary Ann NUNN, wife of James NUNN. Mary Ann is shown in the 1881 census as having been born in Hendon, County Durham, about 1859.. I looked on the map and it appears that Hendon is part of Sunderland. But I could not find Hendon listed in the list of parish registers for County Durham. Question 1: Can anyone tell me where someone born in Hendon might have been baptized. James was born in Walpole Suffolk in 1855. In 1881 James and Mary Ann were living in Washington, County Durham, with their daughter Jane Ann. Question 2: Would someone who moved from Suffolk to Washington likely have moved to work in the coal mines, and done so because of an agricultural depression in Suffolk? Any help much appreciated. Mike, in Toronto
