Hi all.
I was hoping to get a bit of help.
I’ve got a 3xggm Jane Sanders b.1818 Shebbear, Devon. Married Isaac Ayre.
Her father was John Sanders b.1791 Northam, Devon.
I’m not sure how accurate my findings are, but my mum once mentioned something about the Sanders family being gypsy. Have no idea how to verify either way so any suggestions or info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Anna

Hi Anna,
I can't find a mention of your Sanders in amongst mine (yet!), but Sanders/Saunders was a common traveller name. A quick search for the names you mentioned brought up this page, which may give you a bit more to go on! https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/jane-sanders-24-7m99x

Best wishes,
Antonia

Hello everyone, just introducing myself as a fellow descendant of the Sanders/Saunders line.

Michael Dean Sanders (1800-1892) and Elizabeth Draper were my 5x great grandparents.
Michael Saunders (b.1820) and Delilah Lee (4x great grands).
Walter Saunders (1850-1920) and Sarah Lavinia Burton (3x great grands). Walter and his family settled in Hersham, Surrey, with 10 children, one of whom (Noah Alfred Saunders, b.1888) was killed in France in 1918.

I have quite a bit of information on this line, and if I can help anyone out, I'd be happy to do so. I am on Ancestry if you'd like to see more detail. I get a bit tangled up in the families they married into, but I know there are Orchard, Lee, and Stanley in abundance! If anyone has any photos of the Sanders/Saunders line, I'd love to see them. :) In the meantime, happy researching!

All the best,
Antonia
