Captain William Sanderson (1795-1842) of South Shields, died in Quebec

I went looking for John Taylor Sanderson (1839).

Found him staying with the family of John Taylor in 1851.
He is listed as a nephew.
Going to GRO I saw that his mother's maiden name was Taylor.
And then going to FreeReg I found a marriage between William Sanderson & Mary Taylor.
All of the above happens in Jarrow.

I couldn't find a connection to Isaac Sanderson despite many such people in the data.

Anyway, I think we've got the man and his family, finally.

My initial interest in Capt William (1802) was that he died in a place where I have a few clusters of DNA matches who also match known Sanderson line relatives. Not Quebec precisely but the broader region. I wanted to know if he had offspring in Canada and while we can't rule out the possibility there is no clear reason to think they existed, and I think good enough reason to believe they did not.

This means I'm ready to let go of this search if you folks are.

Hi,

From the Quebec Church Death Records, the Anglican Holy Trinity Church, the date is written out as....forty seven. It says age 45. The "forty seventh leaf" on the top right is page #.

Good find dbree

That is the burial record of "William Sanderson, Master of the" [blank]
"Aged, forty five Years, died, on the Eighteenth, and was Buried, on the Nineteenth day, of July, in the Year of our Lord, One thousand eight hundred and forty seven."

The 1847 Register with the burial in, indicates it was originally known as the English Metropolitan Church at the City of Quebec.

As dbree says, on the 47th leaf.

The original full size photograph of the grave of Capt. William Sanderson, was by Ginny Lesak Jakoubek and she appears to have passed away this year.

Dbree-
Magic find - glad my "feeling" about the 1847 newspaper reports were not ill founded. As already said "it's amazing what's out there when you start digging"

Thanks HT and B1746.

HT I'm stealing your link for Grosse Ile, as I've not come across it before.  Thanks
