Hi Julie, I appreciate this is a very old post, but I came across it whilst searching on 20 Cousin Street, Sunderland... I have a relative (surname Grieveson) residing there in 1878, as the address is on his marriage certificate (the bride was at 78 Moor St). Not sure what year your relative(s) were living there, but thought it worth an ask.... feel free to contact me - thanks, Michelle

Many of my ancestors came from Sunderland, I would love to know more about where they lived, I've tried looking for info on the following streets and schools, but seem to be coming to a dead end, photos would be fantastic but any info at all would be very much appreciated, no doubt many of these places no longer exist or the transcribers may have misspelt them when completing census returns, here goes

Hodgkin Street 
45 Barnes Lane
2 Oak Street,
Aubrey Terrace
4/5 Ettrick Place 
15 and 43 Spring Garden Lane
36 Baines lane
11 Robinson Lane
