  Catherine's address was not given in her marriage record. It appears from earlier court records that there was a Thomas Madden in the Renews area but no Madden males were recorded in the 1840s/1850s Voters Lists. Catherine's name was mentioned as a witness to a couple of marriages in 1838 performed at Holy Apostles Parish.

  In Jun 1849, the baptism of Mary Saunders was recorded in Halifax, Nova Scotia but no other document indicating when the family moved there has been found.

  No immigration record was located to indicate when the Saunders family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
  Census	1855	Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States   [5]
  The Massachusetts State Census of 1855 shows that John Saunders (a mariner) and his wife, Catherine, were recorded as being 30 years old and they were recorded as being born in Newfoundland. Their eldest child was listed as Jane, a female - age 11, however, other documents identify their eldest child as James, not Jane. Their other child was listed as Mary (6) who was born in Nova Scotia. Their were four girls/young women in the household, two Cluneys from Newfoundland and two Bigelows from Nova Scotia but their status (lodgers or kin, etc.) within the household was not declared.
  Census	1860	Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States   [6]
  In the 1860 United States Census, John Saunders, a mariner, was recorded as being 40 and his wife Catherine, was recorded as being 39. Their children were recorded as James (17), Mary (10) and Elizabeth (5). The enumerator didn't record the exact birthplace of John, Catherine, James, and Mary but wrote in the letter B.P. (for British Provinces). Only Elizabeth was recorded as being born in Massachusetts.
  Census	1865	Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States   [7]
  The Massachusetts State Census for 1865 shows John Saunders,(49), a sailor and his wife Catherine, (39) were born in Newfoundland. These ages differ from the 1860 census when John was recorded as being 40 and Catherine was 39. While it states that their two daughters Mary (14) and Elizabeth (9)were born in Boston, other records indicate all of their children, except Elizabeth, were born in the "British Provinces".
