William Walter Henry Saunders. I have him in Perth Eton

[Cassie Scheren]

I am looking for a William Walter Henry Saunders. I have him in Perth Eton Buckinghamshire.  Then he moves to Totnes Devon with his wife a daughter Rachel . Where he had a Gillian 1941 and a George a Patrick and some other s. But no idea of their names. He is my Grandfather.  Thank you

When you say that you "have" William Walter Henry Saunders in Buckinghamshire what document/dataset was that in? (and what date if it's a document?)

I can certainly "see" a birth registration for a Gillian Saunders in 1941 Totnes, but nothing seems to indicate an earlier sibling named Rachel. Nor any later siblings for Gillian

Could you post d.o.b. for William Walter Henry Saunders and name of his wife

the only person of that name I could find is

William Walter Henry Saunders baptised 25 Dec Leamington Priors Warwick parents Henry & Sarah
Death reg
William Walter Henry SaundersJun qtr 1926 age 41 Warwick

but these details don't match yours- so more information would help - please remember it is RootsChat policy to NOT post details of the living/could be living

The birth ref for the daughter born Totnes gives the mother's maiden name but I cannot see a marriage unless the mother had been married before.

The only even remotely likely couple on Bucks 1939 appear to be this couple. (& it's a long shot)
Marriages Jun 1921
Saunders    William H    [W_]icks    Southwark    1d   39    
Wicks    Rosina    Saunders    Southwark    1d   39

Can't see any kids with first name of Rachel for them.

Gladys R Saunders (born mid 1920's) is a possible Rachel?
(although I'm pretty sure she marries 1947 to a Mr Hargreaves.)

[PaulineJ]

Anyone any idea who this gal is?
Births Sep 1939 Saunders    Rachael    Penberth    Eton    3a   2307
There is a marriage in 1958 Newton Abbott for a namesake of hers
Children (all girls) seems to be S K, E C , A & C M (registered 1963-is this you Cassie?)

In which case, we need to take a step closer to present-day, before going back in time.
Can you give us full parent details & witness names from the 1958 marriage certificate

What may be Rachael's  siblings  registered as MMN Penberthy & Pemberthy (1927-1941)
Last birth (a female- name starts with B) in Edmonton (No Gillian or other suggested names though)

Marriages Sep 1926 
PENBERTHY    Dorothy V    Saunders    Taunton    5c   632     (b 1908?)
Saunders    Edwin G    Penberthy    Taunton    5c   632  (b 1904?)

It MAY be that Gillian etc are simply a foster family that Rachael was raised with .

Did you ever meet your grandfather, or remember his death date.
If you were born when I think you were, and I have the right guy, you would have been in secondary school at the time.

Keeping on with assumption that Rachael Saunders b 1939 Windsor (MMN Penberth) is your mother & the child of Edwin George Saunders & Dorothy Violet Penberthy.

I don't think that the Saunders-Wicks couple have any connection to Rach(a)el.

1911 census (Edwin GEORGE ) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RH-V1F
(there are a couple more kids mentioned in WW1 records)
1911 census (Dorothy Violet) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X7RH-2BP

If we are on the right track, some of these aunts/uncles of Rachael may prove to be a parent of Gillian, Patrick & the rest.
