Hello my fellow Rootchatters!
My current project is to research the Sanders line of my family tree. Sadly i don't know too much about them. Speaking to my grandfather, whom is a Sanders spoke of that his mother and father, as well as his grandparents were buried in Bushbury Cemetery, Wolverhampton. The current lines that i have found are all around Wolverhampton and Cannock, mainly Staffordshire.
I have tried researching on the archives for my family, i had a Grandfather called Arthur but there was two Arthur Sanders that appeared, one that went too America and one in England and i don't know which one my real Great..Great..Great Grandfather is. All we know is that he was born and died in in England.
I shall be attaching a file with some small facts about the Sanders line but i wont be giving too much, like i said all the deceased were birthed and died in Staffordshire.
Thanks!

Hi
You just need to go one step at a time.
Has grandad got his birth cert? That will give his parents names, and mums maiden name. You can then look for their marriage. The marriage cert will in turn give their fathers' names. Once you are back to 1911 , you can use the censuses to trace the family.
If you get stuck, then do ask on here. Dont give details of living people, but ifyou are sure they are deceased then tell us all you already know about them. Start with grandads parents.

Hi Liz, yes i have tried my absolutely hardest. Even contacted the Cemetery of his son to see if i could find anything out. My Grandfather can't remember anything of his Great Grandfather we have absolutely nothing. When his father died the woman he was involved with took everything and flooded it therefore we have nothing.

The gravestone photographic resource project. www.gravestonephotos.com has an entry for a vera and roger sanders in Bushbury. There's quite a few sanders from all around the country but mainly down south.

Yes already looked there and my Great Grandparents nor my Great Great Grandparents are on their, so i gather it is incomplete

So you start with what you do know,and work back.
Does he know his parents names? His grandparents?

All these free sites are incomplete as they rely on volunteers. Freereg are due to update next week. They update monthly as does freebmd etc but the photo sites will vary because the photos have to have the info transcribed on some.

His parents are called John Charles and Violet A Sanders nče Hartland. Violets birth is uncertain but she died 1 march 1967 since my mum was born on the same date. Charles death is uncertain, he died in 1983 death date is known but he was born 9th may 1912.
John Charles' parents were called Arthur Ernest and Susannah Grace Eliza Sheldon.Arthur was born in 1878 and died in 1956 were Susannah was born in 1979 and died in 1962. This is where the tree comes to a hault on the Sanders side since theres a british Arthur and a british arthur that emigrated too America and goes off into two different lines of two different families which makes it hard for me to know which one i must follow.

Marriage
Oct/nov/dec 1900
Cannock ref 6b 949
Susannah Grace E Sheldon / Arthur Sanders ( no middle name given)
Have you got this marriage cert?
Not sure what you mean about confusion with an Arthur that went to USA, if you have 'your' Arthurs death in 1956 - was that in England?

Yes i do have the marriage certificate and what i mean by my arthur is that there is no Arthur Sanders that went to america that died in America but was born in Staffordshire. So the American Arthur went to America but came back and then there's another Arthur that never left England.
