First wife Frances was buried in 1819 and James married second wife Mary Tapp in 1821.
The 1817 marriage was 'Fanny Gander'. (I know that is another name for Frances.)



There is a baptism for a Sarah Saunders with these parents on 16 Nov 1817 at Herstmonceaux.
The census I mentioned earlier has James Saunders, Fanny Saunders with presumed daughter Sarah (20)

other children
William 11   
Stephen   9   
Hannah   7   
Eliza      4   
Jesse   9 months.  Jesse's birth registration gives mothers maiden name as Gander   
Harriett

Thanks for the extra info. 

I'm in a quandary as to whether to firmly link Henry Saunders born c 1824 to James Saunders as the Henry living with James and Mary appears to have been born 1826 from the census returns.  I'm not sure if it's safe to reconcile those different dates - 1824 supplied by Henry at his marriage so presumably correct and at burial birth year by deduction 1823. The lack of a baptism for him is frustrating. he also always consistently states he was born in Herstmonceaux.

I'd welcome thoughts on the link.

I know from Henry's marriage registration that his father was a James Saunders so I'll have another search around to see if any other James' come to ligh, I didn't find any in my researches some years ago..

Don't forget the ages on the 1841 census were rounded for those over 15. So enumerated as 15, he could be 15-19.

I'd forgotten that and probably explains the apparent discrepancy however his birth year are all over the place in the censuses;  1841 - born 1826; 1851 - born 1825; 1861 - born 1827; 1871 - born 1825; 1881 - born 1826; 1891 - born 1823; 1901 - born 1823 & 1911 - born 1826.

I think I'll stick with the 1824 from his marriage record and 1823 in his burial record.

A baptism record would answer so much. :'(
