It may all be coming together
On that 1844 marriage, Ann said her father was John Mason, Hair Dresser
And in 1841 in Marylebone we have (as posted earlier)
Great James Street
John Saunders 45 Hair dresser, Not born county
Ann Saunders 35 No
Fanny Saunders 6 Yes
John Saunders is in the 1845 PO London directory as a hairdresser at 20 Great James Street, Lisson Grove.
But not listed in 1849.
However, John and Ann are still there in the 1851 census (Launders on ancestry)
Piece 1490 folio 160 page 38
20 Great James Street, Marylebone
John Saunders Head M 50 Labourer, born Brecknockshire
Ann Saunders Wife M 47 Oldham Hampshire (should that be Odiham?)
The Carters, Fredrick and Ann, are also in Great James Street in 1851, at number 19, just two census pages / images before John and Ann Saunders! That's on folio 159 page 36.
Then in 1861, young George is with his grandparents, though all have gone down as born Middlesex London.
Still don't have a baptism for Ann, not even as Mason.
Nor for the 6 year old Fanny Saunders in 1841, though we don't know for sure that she was John and Ann's daughter.
