Metcalf's Yard, Sunderland
« on: Tuesday 25 November 14 23:46 GMT (UK) »
A little local knowledge would be much appreciated. I'm doing a FH search for my daughter-in-law, whose family came from Coundon. I've found them in the 1841 census, minus a brother and sister, in their mid-20s, who are listed together at Metcalf's Yard, Sunderland. Can anyone shine any light on the possible circumstances, please?

I don't know what you mean by "possible circumstances"
In the 1851 Census Metcalf's Yard is adjacent to Plumbers Alley, see the map at http://www.durham-images.org/public/ms/m11/m11sc4.html Monkey's Yard was another name for Metcalf's Yard. An old deed of 1874 refers to Monkey's or Mitcalf's Yard. A Richard Mitcalf lived there in 1846, but the name was not in general use.

Sorry, Stan -- didn't bother, because it was just a general enquiry, but thanks for the quick take-up. It's HO 107 / 321 / 5 / Folio 13 / Page 21 (East Sunderland). I was intrigued because of the number of people living there.
