Thank you all for your useful replies. I have learned the hard way to check different spellings of surnames so always check for 'Saunderson' and 'Sanderson'. James and Eliza's daughter-in-law Mary (and presumably son William) is (according to Billiongraves) buried in Carnmoney Cemetery 1940. I still need to check with Newtownabbey Borough Council to find out how many are buried in that plot. As for finding where James and Eliza are buried my best guess is the Church graveyard. My reasoning for this is that James died pre-1901 and I believe Carnmoney Main and East were opened after this date. Aghadowey - yes that is the correct census entry. From rootschat I printed a copy of a map of the Church graveyard and have convinced myself (using a magnifying glass!) that I've spotted the name Saunderson. If anyone has copies of books or CD's of gravestone inscriptions for any of the cemeteries mentioned I'd be really grateful for a look-up!
