I'd be grateful for any help with the following:
I am looking for the names of parents of
George Saunders b 1836 Abingdon
he may have had sisters Martha b 1841 and Amelia b 1839
born in Drayton, Oxfordshire (but may not be related to George)
The children lived in Abingdon 1851
Thanks.

Welshwoman,
I've been through the images for Abingdon and cannot find George. There seem to be only 4 SAUNDERS families in the town at the time (the images are not too good in places and pretty well unreadable).
Name, Age, Occupation, Born in County ?
William, 30, , y
Mary, 30, , y
Jane, 3, , y
James, 50, unreadable, y
Elizabeth, 50, , y
Jane, 16, , y
Elizabeth, 13, , y
Emma, 2, , y
William, 35. Weaver, y
Sarah, 40, , y
William, 17, , y
Eliza, 14, , y
Elln, 11, , y
Harriet, 2, , y
Edward, 6, , y
Henry, 25, , y
Emma, 20, , y
James COX, 10, , y
Martha COX, 10, , y
As you are probably aware, ages of adults are rounded down to the nearest 5, no relationships are shown.
Regards
Harry

Thanks for checking for me HarryW. None of these fit with info I have so I guess my search for George continues but not in Abingdon.

OH GOODNESS THAT'S IT!! Thanks so much.
Yes, George was in the workhouse in 1851, two Saunders girls were listed also.
I have the confirming information that George's father's christian name was LEWIS (although recorded as Saunders) and a shoemaker. Probably George chose to ignore the detail of his father's surname when he married in Swansea years later!
They (Lewis and Frances) probably never married, and the girls in the workhouse at the time were probably not George's sisters.
Frances death suggests that Lewis died, or left without family to look after George.
Amazingly this means my surname could (should) have been SUTHERLAND. My 84 year old dad is going to be shocked by that bit!
Thanks again Debbie
