I have found a marriage of a Richard Saunders on 30.7.1811. St. Mary's, Lewisham, Kent. This I guess could be Richard's parents. (A long shot but possible).
I also have a Margaret Saunders in my family married to an Arthur Sales in 1933 Lewisham. Could there be a connection??
Regards Hoppity

Thanks so much for info.re. (a long shot) it's the first and only one at the moment. I can't find a marr. rec. for Rich. but all of his children were bapt. at Dudley Worcs. and according to cens. entries his wife was born at Dudley. he must have moved to the area pre.1840 Thanks again Jacquelineve.

No, I really have'nt got much further with Richard, except to say that I've found a marriage entry for him on I.G.I. 7th Oct.1833 Aston Juxta Birmingham, to Mary Griffin. According to 1881 census R's birthplace is Kent, all a little confusing. Have been told that marriages pre.1837 do not state the fathers names, so thats held me up. Any suggestions.
Kind regards Jacquelineve.
