Hi all, I'm re-posting my Saunders family interests. I would be delighted to hear from anyone descended/researching the same. I have much more background information, but at trying to update the early 1900s details. Walter Saunders b.a. 1869, Manchester married Annie Melina Matthews (born 9 February 1874, Birmingham) at St. John's Church, Wolverhampton on 29 June 1897. They had moved to 32 Southey Street, Bootle by 1901 census, and later Annie Melina Saunders lived at 196 Longmoor Lane, Fazakerly. They had the following children: Thelma Ellen Saunders, 1898, Buxton, Derbyshire, (my grandmother), married Thomas Christopher Sherlock on 23 October 1917, West Derby Registry Office. Frances Alice Saunders, 1901, registered West Derby (didn't marry) Walter Saunders, 1903, West Derby Elizabeth Louise Saunders, 1906, West Derby Frank Saunders, West Derby (1906?)(didn't marry) Lawrence Saunders, 1908, West Derby Harold (Harry) Saunders, 1910, West Derby (David) Philip Saunders, 1912, West Derby I have not yet found where their baptisms took place. Their father, Walter Saunders, left the family, but apparently had died by 1915/16, according to his daughter, my great aunt Alice. My mother told me a wonderful little snippet, out of the blue today. Apparently, Philip Saunders was a busker, good on the guitar and, at some stage, went to America and worked for Gene Autrey, who apparently did cowboy films. How on earth do I check this out:-)) I think Elizabeth Louise went to Australia. Mam thinks she married to a Jim Gard(i)ner, a master mariner. Lawrence and Walter possibly moved to Cornwall. Anyone with connections? Kind regards, Yvonne Purdy (nee Sherlock)
