Title: Bishopswearmouth
Post by: Skipworth on Saturday 17 June 06 01:48 BST (UK)

I have an entry on the 1841 census at what looks like Bishopswearmouth - the borough is illegible.  Could someone tell me where Bishopswearmoth is or was?

Skipworth in Australia

It is now part of Sunderland. I have Chickens and Smiths there in 1800.
