Thanks for the extra info.
I'm in a quandary as to whether to firmly link Henry Saunders born c 1824 to James Saunders as the Henry living with James and Mary appears to have been born 1826 from the census returns. I'm not sure if it's safe to reconcile those different dates - 1824 supplied by Henry at his marriage so presumably correct and at burial birth year by deduction 1823. The lack of a baptism for him is frustrating. he also always consistently states he was born in Herstmonceaux.
I'd welcome thoughts on the link.
I know from Henry's marriage registration that his father was a James Saunders so I'll have another search around to see if any other James' come to ligh, I didn't find any in my researches some years ago..
