Hi Heather You already have the SAUNDERS entry for the 1851 Census and 1861 Census so I checked 1871 and found no trace of a Henry SAUNDERS; neither could I identify his brothers in Dinton. I did, however, find their parents: SAUNDERS John H M 57 Ag Lab b. Dinton SAUNDERS Eliza W M 53 Lacemaker b. Dinton Below is the 1851 Census for the WELFORD Family you are interested in (I think!) Ford: WELFORD John H M 48 Shopkeeper b. Dinton WELFORD Hannah W M 35 Lacemaker b. Dinton WELFORD John S U 13 Ag Lab b. Dinton WELFORD Jesse S 12 b. Dinton WELFORD Mary A D 10 Scholar b. Dinton * WELFORD Sarah D 8 Scholar b. Dinton WELFORD Thomas S 5 b. Dinton WELFORD James S 2 b. Dinton WELFORD William S 8 mts b. Dinton ********** I think this William ****** is one and the same as shown on the 1881 Census as unm and aged 29 ALSO, the Mary A WELFORD above could possibly be the Mary Ann WELFORD Witness at the 1865 Marriage. Certainly, it is worth following up, I think. Although the 1871 Census for Dinton has many WELFORD families, I was unable to identify the above members of the Welford family. Good luck with your sleuthing!

I do believe this to be the family I am interested in. What is truly puzzling, to me at least, is the relationship with the WELFORD family. In 1838 John SAUNDERS married Eliza WELFORD and in 1882 his son Henry SAUNDERS married Emma WELFORD. I am now trying to sort out their relationship. In 1851 the SAUNDERS family consists of John 37 Ag. Lab Eliza 33 Lacemaker Joseph 13 Ag Lab Edwin 9 Henry 6 John 4 Emma 2 All born in Dinton. There would appear to be little change in 1861 except Joseph appears to have disappeared but at about aged 23 he could be just about anywhere. The 1871 could be interesting but I have no way of accessing that at the moment. Not sure what I am doing wrong but all attempts so far have failed. Thanks again for the info - it is much appreciated.
