Hi Sally,

I know I'm coming in days after your enquiry....but I just wanted you to
know, that there in an area near to Lancaster which is called Sunderland
Point.
When I have read censuses for that area...the enumerator has just quoted
place of birth as ....Sunderland...(If my relatives hadn't taken me to visit
this beautiful tidal area.... I would just have assumed that occupants had
come from Sunderland in the North East of England).

Regards,
Sheila, Fife. Scotland.
