They can be traced to Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham areas as far back as 17th C. They were boat builders and had a ferry across the river Tyne. They were said to be Dutch protestants that came to England when King Henry VIII changed the countries religion. Does anyone know of any Sadler's in the US? My mother was a Sadler, Thanks, Keith.
