TRURO - Saunders - 1840's

Who are you looking for?

There are a few Saunders born in the 1840's in Truro and on the 1841 census there is a Saunders living in St mary's, Truro and a few living in Kenwyn.

Dear Deb

Thank you very much for replying so quickly.

My ancestors were not born in Cornwall but came from St George's and East Stonehouses, and some of their children WERE born in Truro, including GRACE SAUNDERS, a child of about 5 in 1851.

Mr Saunders was a compositor.

By 1861 they had moved to Canterbury, Kent.

I am hoping to find out more about them and whether there are any other family members out there, please.

Thank you very much for your help - I have found some details but hoped to find out particular information such as TREGENZA which was given to my great-uncle as his middle name, and we wondered if there was a family link somewhere.

with best wishes

Dear Deb

That is amazing!  THANK YOU SO MUCH!

That would most definitely explain how my ancestors ended in Truro when Mr Saunders married someone who was born in 'St Georges' and he came from East Stonehouses, near Plymouth, Devon.

I have been enquiring and had no joy.

Thank you again.

Where did you find that volume?

Hi Imison

That marriage was on Free BMD. If you order the cert, then at least you can find out their father's names and we can search from there.

I have been looking in 1841 and I see William and Elizabeth Saunders with baby Elizabeth(10 months). He is a compositor and they are living in George Street, Kenwyn, truro.

in 1841 there is also this family living in Kenwyn st, Kenwyn:

Saml Tregenza 55 plaster?
Jane  " 57
Edith  "  20
Charlotte 15
laura 15

another Trgenza family is living in St Mary, Truro.

Dear Deb

Thank you so much - it does make me wonder then if that was a male relative who was perhaps an uncle or some such?

thank you again

Dear Deb

I have just had a thought - I wonder when their 10-month old child was born? If they married in 1840 it makes me think could they have married when their child was 'on the way' as it was a common enough thing to happen in those days?

Hi

I was also wondering about that and i have notice a transcrepancy in the information as well...

In 1841 Elizabeth is 10 months and it looks like it says   "Y" under 'born in county' but in 1851 it states that Elizabeth (Ann) is 10 and was born in Southwark, London......

ummm ... maybe they went to London to have the baby to get away from the scandal
