Hi

there is a family in Barnstable in 1891 and 1901 they seem to live a settled life so this might not be your lot but here they are in 1901 (WHOOPS I MEANT IN 1891)

Henry Sanders head Hawker 36
Rachael wife 24
Mary age 16
William age 14 Hawker
John  age 10
Henry age 5

Regards,

Jim

Thanks for your searches Jim.

On balance I think Cathay's find is more likely.  Henry's age aligns better, and the possibility of settling into a house within Edward's generation is, I think, less likely.

Yes Ian I agree  -

 the henry i found may be on the young side to to be the father of your Grandmother.

Good luck jim

Cathay - have you heard of Britannia being a boy's name?

[Ian2904]

In the 1901 census, Edward's birthplace has moved from Bournemouth to the Isle of Wight.  Sybil is recorded as Susan, and they also have two more daughters - Betsy and Caroline.

hi ian.sybils real name was susan nee orchard daughter of william orchard and caroline scarrott,i have their tree.henry seniors dad was george born 1823 in sussex, and his dad was michael also born sussex in 1795.the brittainia saunders in this line was def a girl she married thomas orchard in 1904.

Excellent work Cathay! 

I did think I'd never heard of a son being called Britannia - daughters yes, but certainly not sons.

The Susan / Sybil question cleared up, and the line traced back to Sussex - result!!

Many thanks

Ian

[cathayb]

we can do the orchards aswell if you like?they are an interesting lot!

[Ian2904]

Thanks for the offer Cathay.  I do need some time to draw up the tree as it stands at the moment.  I've got to take it down to the family for Christmas.  So I'll pass on that for the time being.

Many thanks
