Other Events:

• Census: 1799/1800, Ferryland, Newfoundland

Notes:

Census:
When the 1800 Census was enumerated at Ferryland in the fall of 1799 and winter of 1800, William, the eldest son, aged 22, was living in the family home. During the fishery 'off season' he was listed as a servant to his father, an indication that he was considered the primary male who performed the day to day chores and duties needed to survive the harsh Newfoundland winter conditions.

During the 1800 fishery season, the extended census recorded that William was a fisherman. He and his younger brother, John Jr. (later known as John William), were crew members, under their father, John Sr., the boat-master of a 5 man shallop, fishing on behalf of John Hill &Co.

In later years, William's brother, John William, became very prominent as a merchant, a Justice of the Peace, and was appointed to other Crown positions. However, no obvious trace of William surfaced in any of the surviving records, so it is unclear if he died young, or moved out the area.

Died:
All later references to a William Sanders/Saunders after 1800 appear to refer to William's first cousin, that is, William (son of Daniel).

Other Events:

• Baptism: 1 Aug 1824, Renews, Newfoundland

Notes:

Birth:
Illegitimate

Baptism:
This record indicates that Sally was baptized at Renews by the Rev. C. Blackman, the Episcopalian Missionary stationed at Ferryland. He recorded that she was the illegitimate daughter of John Saunders, a merchant and planter at Renews and May Markin (or Martin), a pauper, of the same place.

The date is uncertain since these records appear to have been extracted from earlier documents and they are not necessarily in the proper chronological sequence. Another transcribed record says Sally was baptized on 21 Aug. 1824 and that her surname was Martin.

Notes:

Birth:
The baptism record that I located for this child does not identify his father's name but the child's given names suggest that his father was likely John William Saunders.

Other Events:

• Census: 1871, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
• Census: 1881, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
• Special Note: 1881, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Notes:

Census:
In the 1871 Canada Census, there is a listing for a William Saunders (age 42) who was born in Newfoundland. He is recorded as being a Roman Catholic, living in a Hospital for the Insane. His occupation was recorded as a stevedore.

Census:
In the 1881 Canada Census, William Saunders, 67, a stevedore, was living in an Insane Asylum. He was a Roman Catholic, born in Newfoundland.

Special Note:
The name William Saunders appears as a witness at the marriages of three daughters of James and Joanna (Evoy) Saunders at St. Mary's Basilica in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the 1840s and 1850s. These events suggest a close kinship, and although I found no documented proof that William was their brother, I believe it is a strong possibility.

Buried:
William is commemorated on the same headstone as James and Johanna Saunders and one of their granddaughters.

Ferryland Court Records


15 1837 John Sanders Junr. Charged with obstructing the constables in execution of their duties.

22 Nov. 1838, Grand Jury List - John Sanders member. It was recorded that the Magistrates/J.P. present were: Robert Carter, Peter Winser, Alan Goodridge, and J.W. Sanders, Esq.

Court Action:
In today's world the term 'Junior' is usually applied when referring to a son with the same forename as his father. However, in earlier times it was also used to distinguish between any two males, with the same names, to identify the subject person by virtue of his relative age. Based on a search of various Ferryland Court records, a younger John Sanders was first recorded about 1837. He was referred to as John Sanders, Junr. in two records and later in 1838 just as John Sanders in another record.

Court of Sessions - Southern Circuit Minutes
15 February 1837 - Sanders, John Junr.(and others) charged with obstructing the constables in the execution of their duties.
27 February 1838 - Penny, Edward vs. Sanders, John Junr. Penny claimed John had threatened him. This incident was likely in relation to Penny assaulting a Thomas Sanders on the previous day, February 26. Also on February 27, and likely because of the same incident, Penny charged Richard Sanders with assaulting him.
22 November 1838 - John Sanders - Member of the Grand Jury. The Magistrates/JPs at this session were Robert Carter, Peter Winser, Alan Goodridge and J.W. Sanders Esq. The latter was likely John Sanders' uncle.


Voter:
In 1840 and 1841, the Voter Lists for the settlement of Ferryland, recorded John Sanders's 'place of abode' as the North Side. In 1842, it lists a John Saunders at Cold East [Point], and likewise, a John Sanders is listed at the same 'place of abode' in 1844. A later update notation, written in the 1844 Voters List, states 'died 1845'. The validity of this update note is questionable since there is no other reference to indicate that it is factual.

To add to the confusion, the baptism records at St. John's show a son, James, was baptised there to John and Catherine in May 1842. While this baptism suggests James was born at St. John's and his family had moved there, this may not have been the case. The Voters Lists raise the possibility that John and Catherine may have lived at Ferryland until 1844. The next three children for this couple were baptised at St. John's between February 1845 and September 1847 before they moved on to Nova Scotia.

Notes:

Birth:
Parents were noted as being from the British Provinces.

Baptism:
Baptism record shows child was baptised as Elizabeth Jane. Family surname spelled Sanders, mother's maiden name spelled Madan (sic).

Notes:

Birth:
In this marriage record, the groom's parent were identified as Thomas and Eleanor Crockett. It doesn't give Eleanor's maiden name but noted that Thomas Sr. was a seaman. It also noted Thomas Jr. (age 27) was a clerk and that Margaret was 24 years old.

Died:
The information on Thomas' death certificate was given by his daughter, Eleanor Beatrice Crockett. She gave her grandfather's name correctly as Thomas Crockett, born in Scotland. However, she misspoke her grandmother's name as Elena Lawrence, who was born in Halifax. I not sure of the reason for the confusion but Thomas's mother was Eleanor Saunders. However, her father's aunt, Sarah Saunders, was married to Nicholas Lawrence so it appears Eleanor confused her grandmother's surname with that family.

On the death certificate, it states that her father was an accountant so this information agrees with occupation titles (clerk, bookkeeper) recorded in earlier censuses records and other documents.

The John V. Pugh, who died in New York in 1883, appears to match the John V. Pugh from this family. While the 1881 Canadian Census shows John still living in Halifax, NS, his occupation was given as a clerk. Other than the fact that the listing says he had been in the US for five years, his occupation there matches the line of work noted in the 1881 Canadian Census.

In the 1881 Canadian Census, Alice was still single and living at home with her parents and siblings.

Notes:

Died:
Mary's personal information was given by her sister, Margaret C. Pugh. Margaret gave their mother's name as Alice Saunders, however, it was recorded incorrectly that Alice was born in Nova Scotia. It was noted that Mary was single.

Other Events:

• Census: 1881, Dufferin South, Marquette, Manitoba, Canada

Notes:

Census:
Henry was listed as being 24 years old, born in Nova Scotia, Roman Catholic, single and a bookkeeper. It appears that he was a boarder of people of various ages and trades. This appears to be the same Henry who was also enumerated at his home in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This may have occurred if the enumeration dates were at different times of the year.

Henry married Jennie Nelson abt. Jan 1891, Manitoba, Canada. Jennie was born 7 Jan 1866, Ontario, Canada; died May 1940; was buried May 1940, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada . [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Baptism:
I found this baptism record for St. Paul's RC Church for William Lawrence. His father was recorded as Nich and his mother was recorded as Sarah Landers (sic). I think it is likely that this is an error that was meant to be Sanders, the alternate spelling often used for Saunders.
