Richard Saunders married Caroline Sparshott (daughter of Frederick & Sarah Sparshott)on 24 December 1862 in Adelaide, SA. She was born in Thebarton, SA on 27 July 1843. Her parents arrived in SA prior to the 1841 Census of South Australia, but I have not investigated their arrival date as yet. Richard & Caroline had 9 children - Frederick William 1864, Annie Amelia 1865-1954, Albert Richard 1867-1922, Lily 1870, Florence Charlotte 1873, Randolph Ernest 1874-1946, Maud Hart 1876, Edgar Harving 1878-1963, and Garnet Hornby 1880. I have more if you are interested. Contact me with an email address.

Add a little romance by sending this personalized "I Love You" teddy bear greeting with his/her first name. You don't need an occasion . . . Just choose the teddy bears color and treat (lollipop or toy pinwheel

I am interested in the Saunders family. My notes give:
Richard and Rebecca married in Over Stowey
OVER STOWEY MARRIAGES 1813 - 1837

.
There are 2 baptisms in Stogumber to Richard and Rebecca Saunders
STOGUMBER BAPTISMS 1813 TO 1858
Saunders Robert Richard/Rebekah Chimney Sweep Kingswood 21 10 1838

There is a marriage in Stogumber which is probably the brother of Richard as he married a Jones girl.

Saunders Richard Age 35 Labourer 1430/1 - wife - child - child - child - child -

Another tree had confusing notes about Sarah Jane i.e.
Name: Sarah Jane Saunders Sex: F Birth: 20 DEC 1836 in Devonshire, England Death: 27 AUG 1923 in Minlaton, South Australia, Australia Note: Surname also known as Sanders. Questions over how and when surname changed. Arrived in South Australia on the ship Lysander on 06/07/1839 had left from Liverpool, England with her husband George Illman 18/03/1839.

I tried emailing the tree owner at myblossom@bigpond.com but it was returned.
Do you know if Sarah arrived in 1849 or earler or later? Do you know where Sarah was born in Devon?

Hi

I am interested in tracking down the Saunders of South Australia both there and back to the UK

My grandfather was Garnet Hornby Saunders, son of Richard Saunders and Caroline Charlotte Sparshot He was born in 1880 and came to NZ in 1902.

He became well known in NZ as a businessman and also featured in the Cairns and Townsville media This can be found in Trove. Garnet featured in the NZ Dictionery of Biography
