SAUNDERS, Norfolk/Suffolk, All dates

[lesleyhannah]

Our Saunders/Sanders can be traced back to Matthew Sanders born about 1320 in Charlwood Surrey - later our branch moved to Ewell, Surrey, and later to Pembrokeshire. Could there be a link with the Norfolk branch?

Of course there is always the possibility that members of a family moved to other areas of the country.  There are connections with Wales as I seem to remember that some gravestones in Dickleburgh to the Saunders have a welsh inscription around the edge.  The family show no sign of being from Wales in all the Censuses so they may well have distant relations there.

 I'm still searching (7yrs) for bapt/birth of my 3xg.grandfather RICHARD SAUNDERS born c.1811 Kent.
      Have just seen the ALEXANDER name mentioned,and
started to wonder whether this could have any connection,
as his son's christian name was Alexander, also a daug.
Julia (not that common a name)

 Richards occupation-whitesmith.
                     
   A long shot,but you never know!

Hello Jackie

Sorry I have no information in my database.  I note the IGI has a marriage between Richard SANDERS and Margaret Gibbs on 30 Jul 1811 at Saint Mary Lewisham Kent, I wonder whether this may be a clue for you?

I have Saunders who emigrated (as convicts or free settlers: unknown) to Australia but not exactly sure where from:

John SAUNDERS
M to: Ann WOOD

Child of the Above:
John SAUNDERS
B: 1 July 1826 - Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
M to: Alice RANSLEY (B: 6 July 1839 - New Norfolk, Tasmania, Australia)
D: 17 Jan 1912

Perhaps there is a link.

[Brian]

Hello, it is difficult to say!  I see from the IGI that the marriage was

 21 MAR 1826 Hobart Town, Tasmania, Australia

I haven't done research in Australia but wonder if the original entry might have more information for you - perhaps fathers name?  Otherwise the way forward would be to try and find ships records.

regards
