I have traced back to an ancestor John Saunt b1801 in Sapcote. I have also found another branch (So far unrelated) for another John Saunt, also born in Sapcote b1775 who was married in 1801 to a Mary Brown on the 16th of February. It seems like a coincidence that John junior was born in the same village in the year of John senior's marriage.
Would any of you experts be able to suggest a way of proving (or disproving) a link as a confirmation of the father and son link would enable me to jump back another 110 years!
I think if you was to look at the Parish Records for Baptisms for Sapcote 1801. ~ 1802. You Should be able to tell who the Parents for the John born in the year 1801. And hope it states John…. son of John & Mary Saunt. It might also state the occupation of John (Snr) (Which also could help in confirming right family )
I can confirm that marriage of John Saunt. ~ Mary Brown. Sapcote. 1801. By Banns..
Also noticed this one :- John Saunt. ~ Lucy Kettle. Sapcote. 1828. By Banns. ( can this be John (Jnr) b 1801. Marriage ? )
