Hi HowardJ
Sorry to disappear for a few days. I hope this gets to you - not very good at this site navigation!
Have checked and message was confidential - but can't find out how to send a reply through the same means. So, yes please send details privately. ME

Hi HowardJ
I've just joined and picked up your posts on Christina Sutherland and William Linge. I am a grand daughter of William's younger brother Stephen. Stephen took over Thistley Hall Farm and lived there until, at his death in 1939, the farm passed to my Father, Arthur Thomas Linge.
 The Linge family were not prolific breeders! Of Stephen's 4 children only Arthur had offspring - there are two of us living. My aunt Harriet kept photos etc some of which I think include marriages at Thistley.
So, I can't provide any information on Christina for you but do have some side branches.
You will have discovered that Thistley was demolished as part of Sunderland's post war rebuild but in the cemetry you will find James B, Mary Ann and 2nd wife Isabella. Next to them are my grandparents and on the opposite side of the path the grave of William's brother (?)Arthur and his wife. Do you know the family's sad story about them?
Hope to hear.
