SAUNDERS Norfolk/Suffolk

[Glen Saunders]

I have been researching the "Saunders " clan and came across your
16-11-2004 post in British Genealogy.
I have no record that my ggggrandmother Hannah Saunders was ever
in Norfolk/Suffolk but she did work for a "Gotobed" family in Ely,St Noets,
Cambridgeshire as a Nurse/Servent according to the 1881 census
[RG11,piece1684,Folio68,page15.
Hannah Saunders was born in 1830, Monksilver, Somerset. Because she
was a single parent she left her son Thomas with her Mother Elizabeth
in Stogumber 1851.
In 1871 the census records her visiting her sister Eliza Winchester in
Brighton and the last record in 1881 in Cambridgeshire.
Because of its proximity to Norfolk/Suffolk I wonder if you could check
your database for any record. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Glen Saunders

Brian, I have only just found this thread. I have a Deborah Saunders b 1750 (calculated from burial record age 45, buried in Dennington 8th July 1795). She was married to Thomas Pipe in Wilby 25th March 1773 and was said to be of Dickleburgh, Norfolk. I am attempting to establish her parents.

Do you have any Deborahs in Dickleburgh?

[Brian]

Sorry Glen, I can't find anything that matches.

Michael I haven't found anything on the database, but will check my original notes in case I missed her...the parish records of Dickleburgh are a bit bewildering as there are many registers some of which overlap and contain different records!

Thanks for checking your database

Can any one with further reserch confirm that this is correct? thank you. In particular wether it was George Thomas or George William.

Thank you so much, it looks like My George Thomas. I have found his service records that say Mar Ann was his wife, but wasent sure i had the right George! Onwards and upwards, thanks again

Hi Brian, I'm researching this family of Saunders for a friend and would appreciate any help you can provide me, I have found 2 Richard Newby Saunders, one born in 1826 and one in 1828, both in Lowestoft. Can you tell me which was the fish merchant who died in 1892?

Hello

George John Kettles Saunders married Eliza Shepherd at Lowestoft St Margaret on 3 Jan 1856. He was one of five children born to Richard Newby Saunders and Mary Ann Kettles. I have an extensive amount of information on this family and if you send me a private message with your email address will forward all the rest of what I have and other researchers interested in this family.

I've just come across this site. I am looking for relations of Ephraim Saunders of Hopton/Thetford, on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. He was my great grandfather. He was orphaned when he was 7, and next appears (misspelled as 'Ephriam') in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, described, almost certainly for convenience, as 'Stepson' of a Robert Fairley, married to Ann, whose birthplace (Ann's) .is given as East Harling, Norfolk. Ephraim's actual father and mother were William Saunders of Hopton and (probably) Eliza Brown of Shelfanger (not Thelnetham, as appears on one census transcription). Any help getting back from William or Eliza will be gratefully appreciated.

By the way, how does the private messaging work on this site?

John

Hello John, Samuel Saunders and Elizabeth Lock married in Hopton in 1805 are, I believe William's parents. He had seven brothers and sisters. Snowed under today and hastily replying.

Best wishes
Brian
