Hello, everyone: I am new to the list and researching the SA(U)NDERS name around E.Grinstead, Ssx and Felbridge/Lingfield, Sry. An extremely persistent given name in the family is CAREW, including my g.g.grandfather, b. in E.Grinstead in 1804, one of his sons and one of his sons, all named CAREW SANDERS. So also is one of my uncles. Just a few miles from E.Grinstead is Charlwood and Beddington, where many members of the CAREW family, confidantes of Kings and very powerful, with links to EDWARD III, etc. resided and intermarried with some SANDERS during the 1400's and 1500's. I cannot quite make the ancestral link though these folks all lived so close together, you can hardly "swing a dead cat" without running into one of them. There were also intermarriages between the CAREWS and the BISH/BYSHES. One of my g.g.g. grandmothers was a BISH from Horne, Sry. My theory is that the name CAREW SANDERS in my family comes from the maiden surname of a CAREW ancestor by marriage, with whom I am as of yet unable to link. My SANDERS "tracings" deadend with a WILLIAM SANDERS, b. in E.Grinstead, approx 1582. Is anyone working on these family lines or have any thoughts? Many thanks. Jack Sanders, Eureka, Kansas, USA
