When you say that you "have" William Walter Henry Saunders in Buckinghamshire what document/dataset was that in? (and what date if it's a document?)

I can certainly "see" a birth registration for a Gillian Saunders in 1941 Totnes, but nothing seems to indicate an earlier sibling named Rachel. Nor any later siblings for Gillian

the only person of that name I could find is

William Walter Henry Saunders baptised 25 Dec Leamington Priors Warwick parents Henry & Sarah
Death reg

but these details don't match yours- so more information would help - please remember it is RootsChat policy to NOT post details of the living/could be living

The birth ref for the daughter born Totnes gives the mother's maiden name but I cannot see a marriage unless the mother had been married before.

The only even remotely likely couple on Bucks 1939 appear to be this couple. (& it's a long shot)
Marriages Jun 1921
Saunders    William H    [W_]icks    Southwark    1d   39    
Wicks    Rosina    Saunders    Southwark    1d   39

Can't see any kids with first name of Rachel for them.

Gladys R Saunders (born mid 1920's) is a possible Rachel?
(although I'm pretty sure she marries 1947 to a Mr Hargreaves.)

Anyone any idea who this gal is?
Births Sep 1939 Saunders    Rachael    Penberth    Eton    3a   2307
There is a marriage in 1958 Newton Abbott for a namesake of hers
Children (all girls) seems to be S K, E C , A & C M (registered 1963-is this you Cassie?)

In which case, we need to take a step closer to present-day, before going back in time.
Can you give us full parent details & witness names from the 1958 marriage certificate

What may be Rachael's  siblings  registered as MMN Penberthy & Pemberthy (1927-1941)
Last birth (a female- name starts with B) in Edmonton (No Gillian or other suggested names though)

Marriages Sep 1926 
PENBERTHY    Dorothy V    Saunders    Taunton    5c   632     (b 1908?)
Saunders    Edwin G    Penberthy    Taunton    5c   632  (b 1904?)

PENBERTHY, DOROTHY  VIOLET     WAY  1908  J Quarter in TAUNTON  Volume 05C  Page 276
Deaths 1946 Saunders    Dorothy V    39    Plymouth    7a   635

SAUNDERS, EDWIN  GEORGE     MILLS     1904  D Quarter in TAUNTON  Volume 05C  Page 265
Deaths Mar 1977   SAUNDERS    Edwin George    10OC1904    Bristol    22   576

It MAY be that Gillian etc are simply a foster family that Rachael was raised with .

Did you ever meet your grandfather, or remember his death date.
If you were born when I think you were, and I have the right guy, you would have been in secondary school at the time.

Keeping on with assumption that Rachael Saunders b 1939 Windsor (MMN Penberth) is your mother & the child of Edwin George Saunders & Dorothy Violet Penberthy.

I don't think that the Saunders-Wicks couple have any connection to Rach(a)el.

1911 census (Edwin GEORGE ) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RH-V1F
(there are a couple more kids mentioned in WW1 records)
1911 census (Dorothy Violet) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RH-2BP

If we are on the right track, some of these aunts/uncles of Rachael may prove to be a parent of Gillian, Patrick & the rest.

The 1858 marriage has been confirmed as correct.
Sadly, the groom (b 1935) dies 1968 Newton Abbot district aged 32.

Pauline I could kiss you. I think that you have found my lead, you and the others are angels.I come from a very disjointed past and background. This is amazing. I don't know how to thank you Pauline or anyone else. excluding the rude person.I went back over the records and realized that I made an error and mis read. my GRANDMOTHER is a Penberthy which I mistook as an area. As Penberth as shown is a native Cornish area.a million thank you's to the most deserving people .
I am very new to this . as you can gather. But I have managed to get my fathers lines. I found that easy. But these people have been a little tricky. Pauline thank you x

Hi. I have a Jean Hellewell on the baprisin reg. Then on Rachel's marriage registration entry as a Janet Thompson. I dont know if that is a faster parent or a witness name.??? Rachel was always shade about her past.
Thank you

No I  dont have a physical copy of either certificate s. I just saw the registry  on the Geneologist site. But I have unsubscribed from it as it  holds very little information on the site and they pad out the pages with highlighted newspaper cuttings of irrelevant material.
But I  did see a census with Rachel on it in in Totnes with Gillians name on it in 1941. ?? And we were raised in Newton Abbot area.
I am totally confused also. I have found my Father's family and lines. I just can't understand what I am doing wrong.?
