Thanks for the reply Phil. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any connection. My Saunders were brothers Albert and Arthur who arrived into S.A. and later moved to Merewether around 1890. Cessnock connections were Albert's son Albert 'Alf', who married Annie McINTYRE, and Arthur's daughter Jane who married Samuel RICHARDS. Maureen You wrote - only one Saunders connection in my family tree namely Ellen Saunders who married Charles A Stanmore in 1880 and had 10 children
