Think your posts, have partly beaten me to it, but spent some time trying to take the Ropery Lane, Sunderland inhabitants forward. Then I couldn't find a nearby neighbour in Silver St. in 1851 that still lived there in 1861, until in 1851 I met the late Wm Dodds aged 46 b.Monkwearmouth & Sarah Dodds, aged 38 b.Sunderland, right down the street and then worked back to No. 50 Silver Street in 1861 ...
I had not seen your posts, until I came back to post this ...
