Hi
Have you looked at the durhamrecordsonline site? They have a lot of Sunderland and Monk/Bishopwearmouth records. On the whole Durham is poorly covered by the IGI so looking at the original parish records is usually the way forward. Clicking on the IGI batch number for the John Isaac birth does not bring up any other children for Daniel Bricknell and Thirza Copeland so he may be the only one baptised there. It is an extracted record so should be reliable but the original may show more details and of course you may find a burial for him. There was a lot of developing industry in the area at that time. What was Daniel's trade?

Hi Andrea,
As far as I can ascertain, Daniel was a cordwainer. It is not a trade I have usually associated with journeyman activity in my various families since they were usually local trade. As he died before census times it difficult to be sure, only what was recorded at his son's marriage in 1840. Perhaps it was a trade that had special connections with Hull & Sunderland, but he was clearly only in Durham for no more than 3 years. Either way, for the times, it is still a long haul from WAR to ERY, to DUR and back eventually to WAR.
As you note, the IGI is limited. All the entries for my couple are separate and do not link to a larger family that you can find with one click. The main reason being for the variation in both their surnames and her first name, which is different for each entry. Despite different entry spellings it took me a long time to find the right way to confirm the "stray" entries highlighed by RootsChat members. I suppose there must be a way of getting the system to put these apparent disparate entries to the same mobile family.
Thanks for the site location, I will investigate. As I'm not UK-resident, it is not always easy to find every online source.
regards,
Mark

Hi Andrea,

It would have been quite easy to have travelled from Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, to Sunderland by the well established coastal shipping trade. Sunderland was a major exporter of coal as well as other goods, to ports on the East Coast. Sunderland was an expanding and prospering town and, as a cordwainer, he probably thought there would plenty of business there.
