Biography

Genealogically Defined

Samuel was born in 1794 at Henfield, Sussex, England[1] and baptised on the 24th August 1794 at St. Peter, Henfield, Sussex, England, the son of John Sander and Sarah Sander[2]

On the 22nd December 1813, Samuel Saunders, bachelor and Charlotte Martin, spinster, both of the parish of Woodmancote (Henfield), married by banns at St. Peter, Woodmancote (Henfield), Sussex, England. Witnessed by Mary Paching and Thomas Paching.[3]

In 1819, Samuel appears to have been sentenced to 7 years transportation for Larceny at the Sussex Assizes. It is possible that he was kept on the hulk for 7 years or he managed to return to England after his sentence. This would explain the gap in births of his children 1819-1826.

In 1820, Samuel Saunders was aboard the prison at Justicia docked at Woolwich, Kent.[4]

Samuel's wife Charlotte died aged 39 years in 1831 and was buried on the 6th February 1831 at St. Peter, Henfield, Sussex, England.[5]

On the 7th December 1831, Samuel Saunders of Henfield, widower, and Harriett Langford, spinster, of Cowfold, a minor, married by licence with consent of her lawful father James Langford, at St. Peter, Henfield, Sussex, England. Witnessed by Charles Fuller and Mary Vinall.[6] N.B. Samuel was nearly 20 years older than Harriet.

In 1880, Samuel was living at 40 George Street, Hove, Sussex, England.[7]

He passed away in 1880 and was buried on the 17th January 1880 at St. Andrew, Hove, Sussex, England.[7]
