I’m currently researching the SANDERS family from the Reigate area and due to a lack of information on-line, wonder if anyone knows anything about them or has access to records that would help me. Apart from BMD entries in parish entries, I just cannot locate any information about the Sanders family.
I'm particularly keen to learn more about where they lived in terms of locality and size.
Generation 1: John Sanders (d1632) and his wife. 1599 and 1612 John was of Odworth, Yeoman.
Generation 2: John Sanders (1612-1644) and his wife Bridget Bancke. Have no information.
Generation 3: Richard Sanders (1638-1716) and his wife Mary Peeler. Lived in Burstow, but have no specific information.
Generation 4: Richard Sanders (1673-1706) and his wife Elizabeth Lambert. Freeholder and Copyholder in Burstow. Described as a Yeoman.
Generation 5: John Sanders (1705-1736) and his wife Mary Hill. 1706 described as a Yeoman. 1736 referred to as Captain John Sanders. Also recorded as a ‘gentleman’ of Woodhatch.
Generation 6: Johnson Sanders (1730-1778) and his wife Martha Charlwood. Recorded as being ‘of Lodge’. This, I believe, was a manor house but did he occupy it himself? 1775 Freeholder with property in Charlwood .
Generation 7: Thomas Sanders (1763-1840) and his wife Mary Ware. Described as ‘of Court’ but did he occupy what, I believe, was a manor house itself? How large was it and where?
Generation 8: James Anders (1783-1837) and his wife Mary Dungate. 1816 Bailiff at Court Lodge. Does this refer to a smaller residence and not the manor house itself?
Generation 9: Richard Sanders (1817-1892) and his wife Mary Ann Knight. 1847 Stable House, Dorking. 1871 Collikmoor Farm. 1881 Breakspear Farm, Capel.
Generation 10: Thomas Sanders (1844-?) and his wife Martha Rose. 1871 Upper Meridan, Dorking.
Any information will be really appreciated.
