I have one of my ancestors who is listed as gate keep (not gov) and lives at sunderland gate lampton so i assume he was in charge of said sunderland gate and again assume it was one of the entrances to the lampton estate.

Having googled several variation i cant find either a detail map or an references to said sunderland gate.

can any of you good folk enlighten me?

do you mean Lambton?

doh yes lambton as in worm sorry

have you looked for the "neighbouring addresses" from the census record? Sunderland Gate is on the 1881 census

this map might help

http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-109390-lambton-castle-little-lumley/osmap

I wonder if the name changed over the years

another site worth exploring

the 1881 census is where i got it from but just cant seem to find any other reference for it needs someone with local knowledge i think.

Are you talking about John Wintrup

A neighbouring address is Houghton Gate. This is on OS maps.

looking at the 1881 census I see it lists Primrose Hill and Primrose Cottages etc,

I wonder if Sunderland Lodge was on Sunderland Road and renamed when the church was built
