Hello Casalguidi,
From my grandad's birth certificate I found out his father, William Thomas Saunders was a Lighterman. I found him on the 1901 census, age 26, a Waterman & Lighterman born in Greenwich, Kent living at 20 Inverine Road, Charlton. He was married to Mary A. (Jackson), 27 from Charlton, Kent. I found their marriage certificate from 8 Aug 1896, when William was 20 living at 27 Troughton Road, his father was John Saunders, a labourer. William T. was born on 2 Nov 1875 in Greenwich East (from Waterman records)but I cannot find his birth cert. In 1881 a William Thomas Saunders lived at 20 River Terrace, Greenwich but his labourer Dad was James not John. William's brother James matches the witness on the marriage cert.
