I will preface this by mentioning that I'm in the middle of a genealogical study of my father's paternal side. I've discovered that his father was born in Sunderland of Irish parents. His father's mother was born in England, however his father's father was born in Ireland. Both of his grandparents were born in Ireland as well. What would be the major reason many Irish would migrate to the Sunderland area? By the way, the family is Catholic. Any information about finding birth/baptismal records would be helpful.

Will Sunderland be relegated to the 1st division?

by rob-craig Dec 10, 2002 at 8:07 AM

Following last nights humiliating 3-0 defeat at the stadium of light by manchester city a team who i can only describe as a glorified 1st division team is the writing already on the wall for sunderland and is the 1st division already typing out next seasons fixture list with Sunderlands name on it?With the benchmark of 40 points from a 38 match season Sunderland have gained 14 points from 17 games,needin in all probability 26 more points from 21 games.If they can not beat mediocre teams like man city at home where are the 26 needed points going to come from ,I personally am looking heavenward but alas my lord you have forsaken me!
