Looking for additional information on the Donald Saunders family, his parents and siblings. Donald, b: abt 1750. Spouse was Sarah Edwards, b: abt 1755. They were married about 1780 in Co. Kilkenny.
Their son; Henry John, b: 1794 in Kilkenny and emmigrated to Lanark Co, PO, Canada. According to my records; he also, was married (March 1818) to a Sarah Edwards (b: 1798).
These are the g & gg-grandparents of my wife. Would appreciate any additional info, or corrections.
Thank you
Bob

Hi Bob,
You seem to have stumbled into the same wall as several other researchers. I am a descendant of Henry John Saunders as well, and wish you the best of luck knocking down this wall.

the oldest directory entry I can find for the surname Saunders in Co. Kilkenny is from Pigots of 1824 :
Edmond Saunders, Black-mills, Kilkenny (city) - publican (Pigots 1824)
there are also quite a few Saunders records on the Rothe House section of the IFHF website at www.irish-roots.ie
From the list of sources it does not look like many records (RC or CofI) survive for Co. Kilkenny before 1800.

Hi Shane,
Thanks for this information. The Pigots entry is interesting. Edmond Saunders would certainly be of an age to be part of this family, although the name Edmond has not been carried on through the known family lines. Of the five known children of Donald, or possibly Donald Thomas Saunders, all , with the exception of a daughter, who died in 1805, emigrated to Canada, with their families, in mid 1820's.

Hello, My name is Douglas Grantham. My mother was Lois Beverly Saunders.
I will paste my family tree below. Before I do though, I will add that most those listed below are buried in the" Saunders Family Cemetery, Watford( which also includes some of the Acton, Lett, Kidd and Griffith families as we are related via marriage Ontario
Others, including Thomas Senior Saunders( Came to Canada 1817 on Brigg Maria with members of aforementioned families, and were intertwinned), are buried in the Franktown Public Cemetery. I too am looking for information on Donald Saunders, Donald II Saunders, and back further.
If I can be of further help to you or others, Let me know.

I hope this helps the Saunders Clan. Any photos out there of any of the above family would be appreciated.

SonofaSaunders,
Thank-you for the reply and info. This helps broaden the Saunders kin in our database. How far do you go in the Edward's kin? Would appreciate any input.

Hello Bob
Not sure how far you want to travel to "broaden the Saunders kin", but there is a small (133 member) tree including Thomas and Robert from Buckinghamshire, and decendants in Australia.
It is at http://www.saunders-family-tree.com/

Good Day inept,
Thank-you!! Bob

Gday to you Bob
Our tree has grown from nothing 16 months ago to almost 10,000 members from contributions of people mostly previously unknown.
Should you have GED-file or otherwise email-able details of the Saunders family, and would like them to be web-accessible, please let me know. We hide details of living people (except with password access).
Regards

Hello inept,
"Our tree" can be found where ??? The Australian info did not add or supplant the data that we have, though I did add it to our Saunders file, for future inclusion.
Regards, Bob

Wouldn't have much to add to your database, as ours are all Irish, and have no ties (yet) to English ancestors. Thanks anyway.
