TRURO - Saunders - 1840's

[imison]

that makes me laugh out loud!cc

maybe that's why the enumerator got the name wrong - he couldn't understand all the various regional dialects/accents and just wrote what he thought he had heard! lol!

If you want a really good read to get away from your SAUNDERS/TREGENZA/LANE/SLOMAN peeps go to the "Cornish Mystery" just above your post .... talk about fascinating stuff !!

Okay back to your Saunders peeps .... and their descendants..... in 1881 census ther are a few Saunders born around the age of william SAUNDERS (b 1819) born in Stonehouse ...

Thomas S saunders b 1822 Stonehouse
James Saunders b 1826  East Stonehouse

By the way if I were you I would order John S DUCK's birth cert .... maybe worth the money ...just to put his parentage at rest.!!!!

Dear Deb

Thank you again for all your research - magnificent.

What I shall probably end up doing is to work out which certificates I need to buy by drawing up my most up-to-date tree and find out which people's certificates will yield the most information.  As it could give parentage to many people, not just JOHN SAUNDERS DUCK.

However, there is one problem that some of the documents have been lost if there is Irish parentage, and I know that some of my ancestry is Irish.....

I have just been looking up the message boards on Ancestry.co.uk and found that there is a family called TREGENZA.

Also, there is a large number of people in Devon with the name SAUNDERS.

One person has said that there might be connections with the SANDERS families as SAUNDERS and SANDERS are pronounced much the same, so when a GERMAN person came over his name was anglicised.

I hope this makes sense.

It just makes searching very much more complicated though.

Hallo
I am researching the Saunders/Duck tree for my friend Brenda Duck, her Grandfather was John Saunders Duck 1880, he lived with auntie Grace on the 1901 census and was in the Army as a married man, he married Ellen Florence Bennett.  I also can't find him on the 1881 or 1891 census! He died in Wandsworth, London, can you help with any info at all? I have his birth certificate which shows he was born in Bethnal green area on 26th Dec 1880 but not registered until early 1881, his father was John Duck, (Plumber) and his mother was Ellen Duck nee Saunders, I am assuming sister of Grace, I can find no marriage cert of his parents. The Saunders I believe moved to London from Truro.

Dear Joan

I am very intigued about John Duck's birth certificate.

What precisely does it say about him?

I see that he was born on 26 December 1880 and that his father was a plumber.

Ellen and Grace were definitely sisters.

Their parents were the Saunders in the Truro census of 1840.

I know that the Saunders migrated to Kent and turn up there in about 1861.

Ellen was supposed to have been married to a sea captain and I know she was alive in 1921.

I hope we can more about him.

Hello again, Jo,

I am very interested about this new lead.

I take it to mean then that William Saunders Compositor possibly met the Compositor Mr Duck, and that he then allowed his daughter Ellen to marry Mr Duck?  And that these are the two grandfathers of John Saunders Duck?

So, the plumber was the Mr John Duck who married Ellen Saunders.  But both she and her new husband were the children of the compositors Mr William Saunders and Mr ....? Duck.  What was John Saunders Duck's grandfather Duck's name?  And that of his grandmother Duck?  Do you have the ancestors of the Duck family as I am intrigued to find out more about these people please.

And what happened to John Saunders Duck?  Who were his children as they would be the relations of Auntie Grace Lane of Camberwell, too?

I know that Ellen was alive in 1921.  She was about 70 at the time.

I understand that John was her only child.

With best wishes
