Mary Saunders

Abt 1814 - 1853  (~ 39 years)

• Name	Mary Saunders
  Born	Abt 1814	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [1]
  Records from Halifax indicate that Mary was 39 when she died so she was born about 1814. There are no precise references as to when Robert Saunders moved from Ferryland to Aquaforte, therefore it is possible that Mary was born at Aquaforte.

  Father	Robert Saunders,   b. Abt 1782, Ferryland, Newfoundland ,   d. 10 May 1858, Aquaforte, Newfoundland  (Age ~ 76 years)
  Mother	unnamed_wife Saunders,   b. Abt 1780,   d. Between 1826 & 1858  (Age ~ 78 years)
  Married	abt. 1806	Ferryland, Newfoundland   [4]
  Based on the age (75 yrs.) of their eldest daughter, Ann (Condon), who died in Oct. 1882, it would appear that Robert's marriage was about 1806. Robert's religious affiliation was Church of England, however I suspect (but cannot prove) that his wife was Roman Catholic. My research of their children's spouses indicate that they were all Roman Catholic, hence none of Robert's grandchildren appear in the Church of England baptism records at Ferryland or elsewhere.
