Chalfont St Giles c1690s

[ShannonF]

Can anyone help me on the following? Looking for the birth of Thomas Saunders' siblings.....parents Thomas and Jane Rolls/Rowles who married 1688. Thomas was b.1691.

Also looking for possible marriages for Thomas and any potential siblings... as well as a birth for Thomas Snr and deaths of any of the above listed....

Grateful for any help,

Shannon

You may already have this but the marriage entry for them in the Chalfont St Giles register says:

Thomas Saunders jnr of Newlands, Chalfont St Peters and Jane Rolls married in St Martins Outwich, Thridneedle St, Ldn (sic) on 24 July 1688.

As any children are usually brought up in the father's hometown, the baptisms may be found in the Chalfont St Peters register.

I was about to see if there were any siblings showing on the newish Family Search site but it's doing one of its 'won't let you in' sessions!!!!

Thanks again for your help,

I note this query is a good few years old, however it might be worth me putting up what I have recently found in Aylesbury.  There are a good few published books on the Saunders there & the latest, updated in 2015, states that Thomas & Jane Rolls had: Thomas bpt 13 Aug 1691 d 14 June 1749; William bpt 7 Aug 1694 d 28 Nov 1745; Proby d after 1751; Edward d 1759; John d after 1751; Jane; Rachel bpt 1 Nov 1694 d Nov 1746; Elizabeth bp 17 May 1696, married twice.  However a document dated 1730 had "Wm Saunders Eldest son & heir apparant of Sir Thomas" & "Edward & Rachel Saunders two of the younger children of sd Sir Thomas".  Another document dated 1720 stated that Edward & Rachel were "infants", but they were both alive in 1701, so maybe "infant" just meant under 21.  So a bit confusing all round!
