Hi Matilda and welcome to Rootschat!

Did you know about the Surname Interest Table
http://surname.rootschat.com/  If you add your surnames into the table you may be lucky and come up with some matches.  I have found a few through it!

Best of luck

You never know what might happen and I figure the more places I put my surnames the more chance I've got of a contact one day!!

Matilda,

How far back are you with your SAUNDERS. I have hit an Agnes SANDERS/SAUNDERS b. 1758 daughter of William SANDERS/SAUNDERS and Grace m. 1745 in Poltimore. Agnes married John SYMMS/SIMMS and died in 1828 in Broadclyst. Are your SAUNDERS from this region?

Matilda,

Here's some details I found quickly;

     1881 Census -  12 Pugsleys Court, Barnstaple, Devon
     RG11/2243
     William SCOINS b. 1823 in Chittlehampton, Devon - Labourer
     Caroline SCOINS b. 1831 in Middlesex
     James SCOINS b. 1858 in Chittlehampton - Labourer
     Mary A SCOINS b. 1862 in Chittlehampton - Hawker of Fish
     Rose SCOINS b. 1875 in Barnstaple (granddaughter)

     1881 Census - 25 Bodens Row, Barnstaple, Devon
     RG11/2244
     Henry SAUNDERS b. 1857 in Taunton, Somerset - Licenced Hawker
     Rachel SAUNDERS b. 1858 in Chittlehampton, Devon
     Mary A SAUNDERS b. 1876 in Barnstaple
     William H SAUNDERS b. 1877 in Barnstaple
     John SAUNDERS b. 1881 in Barnstaple

     Birth - William Henry SAUNDERS
     Jun qtr 1877 Barnstaple Vol 5b Pg 467

     1871 Census -  Green Lane, Barnstaple, Devon
     RG10/2183
     William SCOINS b. 1817 in Chittlehampton, Devon - Labourer
     Caroline SCOINS b. 1831 in London
     James SCOINS b. 1855 in Chittlehampton - Labourer
     Rachel SCOINS b. 1856 in Chittlehampton
     Mary A SCOINS b. 1862 in Chittlehampton

     1861 Census - Frog Street Chittlehampton, Devon
     RG9/1487
     William SCOINS b. 1811 in Chittlehampton, Devon - Labourer
     Caroline SCOINS b. 1821 in London - Stay Maker
     James SCOINS b. 1854 in Chittlehampton
     Rachel SCOINS b. 1858 in Chittlehampton
     William Gilbert SCOINS b. 1860 in Chittlehampton
 
     Birth - William Gilbert SCOINS
     Mar qtr 1860 South Molton Vol 5b Pg 471

     1851 Census - Chittlehampton Village, Devon
     HO107/1891
     William SCOINS b. 1817 in Chittlehampton, Devon - Labourer
     Catherine SCOINS b. 1823 in London (Catherine is obviously an error)
     Margaret WILLIAMS b. 1845 in London (listed as daughter despite difference in surname)

     Marriage - William Maine SCOINS m. Caroline WILLIAMS
     Dec qtr 1849 South Molton Vol 10 Pg 309

I have not investigated whether Caroline was previously married, or whether she bore Margaret out of wedlock? What a frustrating family, some family members seem to change their year of birth like a change of clothes (they don't appear to be transcribing errors).

Regards,
