I am delighted there are so many researching the family, this is all going to be quite a suprise for my father in law when he visits the midlands in April.  I would be greatful if you could pass on my mail address to the "active" cousins.  I will keep in touch via the site.

Hi Aghadowey 

thanks for lists, I am sure that they will come in very useful during my research.

You are welcome Carol. I originally answered a request from someone who didn't bother to thank me for looking up all the details.

Yes, the watchingmaking lists were very interesting. Thanks. They illustrate well how quickly Coventry didn't feature in the future of watchmaking.
BTW - If anyone is related to the Albert of Birmingham listed I have in another tree (you will need to review both of the SANDERS families on my website on separate webpages).

Thanks also to all for recent posts. I have been snowed under with personal messages from my recent postings. Sorry if I haven't responded to all yet.

Regards,
Mark

Re: The Will of William SANDERS 1712 - We think this is the same one we currently have as the head of our Coventry SANDERS family. He was a tailor. It seems the watchmaking involvement of the family took hold during the middle C18th.
