Hi....Sunderland is actually in Durham.....could "Durham" be the word you are looking for? Romaldkirk seems to have extended into Durham at one time though technically in the county of Yorkshire. ROMALDKIRK, a parish in the wapentake of Gilling West, and liberty of Richmondshire; 6 miles NW. of Barnard Castle. A most extensive parish, situated in Teesdale, extending from Deepdale, near Barnard Castle, to the confines of the three counties of York, Durham, and Westmoreland. This parish includes the townships of Lartington, Cotherstone, Hunderthwaite, Mickleton, Lune, Helwick, and Romaldkirk. Population, 377. If I'm off base here, hopefully someone local will elaborate. Best wishes.....mary lou **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money & Finance. (http://money.aol.com/tax?NCID=aolcmp00300000002850)
