    Sarah married John Warman Saunders (b 1 Apr 1851 Folkestone). The marriage was reg Marriages Dec 1870 MAJOR Sarah Ann S Elham 2a 1529 to SAUNDERS John.

    1871 UK CENSUS Dwelling: Radnor St, Folkestone, KEN (Elham) Source: RG10/1014/2/51 John W. SAUNDERS, Head, M, 20, Mariner, b.Folkestone, KEN Sarah A. S. SAUNDERS, Wife, m, 20, b.Folkestone, KEN Sarah A. SAUNDERS, Dau, 2 months, b.Folkestone, KEN

    This seems to confirm that John Warman SAUNDERS was b. Abt. 1850 in Folkestone and that his wife was "Sarah A.S." which corresponds with the following marriage information - Sarah Ann S. MAJOR. On the IGI (online) - Sarah Ann MAJOR, christened 6/6/1851, Folkestone daughter of Henry Spearpoint MAJOR and Ann.

    Advised by Irene Saunders that the S. is Spearpoint, as suspected.

    I have two more children: Henry Spearpoint b 1856 Folkestone FreeBMD B: Jun 1856 Major Henry Spearpoint * * * 1861 5 @ Radnor St. (Henry S) 1871 Mariner 15 @ East St. 1891 widower unemployed Fisherman 35 @ 31 Radnor St.

    William b 1859 Births Jun 1859 MAJOR William Elham 2a 683 1861 2 @ Radnor St. Not with parents on 1871 census

    I have also found a further Henry Spearpoint b1893 FreeBMD Births Mar 1893 Major Henry Spearpoint Elham 2a 1030

    I therefore consider it likely that the Jane Elizabeth Hall marriage in 1880 (see below) was probably to the 1856 Henry Spearpoint and that the 1893 Henry Spearpoint is their son.

    Marriage Mar 1880 Major Henry Spearpoint Elham 2a 1177 (To HALL Jane Elizabeth or Paterson Elizabeth) (If married Jane Hall, death could be her or more likely a child in Mar 1888 MAJOR Jane Elizabeth 30 Elham 2a 703)

    Sue indicates regarding a query about Susannah & Elizabeth SPEARPOINT (dau's of Henry/Sarah MATSON). "I think you will find that Susannah and her Sister, Elizabeth, were both 'born' 19 April 1799 and 'Baptised' 8 November 1801, Zion Chapel Fenchurch Street-Lady Huntingdon Form, Folkestone, KEN. Thus the two dates you have (See online IGI). Still has to be confirmed but from what you have said, you already have the birth information from the PR's."
