Re: Thomas SAUNDERS and Louisa nee MORRIS, b. 1876 Bewdley Staffs.

Thanks for the 1901 household information.  So it looks like Louisa had put the children (Helen and Gladys) in an orphanage by 1911.  I will try and draw some conclusions!

Thanks again,

Lesley

Thomas Saunders had probably died,  but there are a lot to choose from .

Re: Thomas SAUNDER's death

Yes, that's what I just emailed my brother. 

If Thomas SAUNDERS appears on the 1911 census (I haven't seen the census record to verify) then it would be some time after 1911 and before 1913 Louisa SAUNDERS'S (nee MORRIS) remarriage to George EDWARDS - who looks like a neighbor's son - haven't quite figured it out. 

Also want to see where who Louisa was living with at that time (1911).  Might help with getting some name recognition from my mom.

Thanks again.
