| Residence |
1870/1871 |
St. John's, Newfoundland [4, 5] |
- In both Lovell's 1871 Directory and McAlpine's 1870/71 Directory. there is a reference to a William Saunders living at 239 Gower Street in St. John's city. In Lovell's, William's occupation is given as a carpenter, while McAlpine's refers to his occupation as a ship carpenter.
In Sharp's Directory 1885/6, and Might's 1890 Directory, this same street address was occupied by William's son, John, who is listed as a ship carpenter.
As far as I can tell, this Gower Street address was very close to the area known as Theatre Hill, hence the reference to it in William's newspaper death notice. My research indicates that this location was commonly used in reference to the area of Queen's Road from the foot of Long's Hill to the junction of New Gower Street. It seems that official references to Theatre Hill may have disappeared after much of St. John's city was rebuilt after the Great St. John's Fire of 1892.

| Census |
1799/1800 |
Ferryland, Newfoundland [1] |
- In the list of resident families enumerated in 1799/1800, Daniel 'Sanders', who appears to be a widower, was living at Ferryland with his two sons, Robert (17) and William (11), and his only known daughter, Ann (10).
While it doesn't appear that Daniel was employed during the 'fishery off season' of 1799/1800, his eldest son, Robert, was a servant of the Ferryland merchant, Thomas Norris.
Daniel's involvement in the seasonal fishery at Ferryland in 1800, shows him as a crew member of the Public Bait Skiff, under a master named Edmund Wallace. His son, Robert, was also involved in the 1800 fishery. He was the boat master of a three-hand skiff, owned and operated by Matthew Morry &Co., of Caplin Bay.
