I am searching for branches of the Saunders family that went from Britain, probably Wales, to Jamaica possibly in the mid 19th Century. Common male names were Arthur, Frank and Harold. Arthur Saunders married Emma (Louise) Phillippo about 1880 in Jamaica. One of their children was Frank Saunders who went to Saskatchewan about 1910. He had sisters Helen, Elizabeth and Isabel. He had two brothers, Harold and Hugh, both lost in WWI. The family went to England in 1908 and Frank left for Canada in 1911. He married Margaret Jarvie Gordon in 1911 and had five children. Margaret, Arthur, Ian, Harold and Frank. I have lots of information on his branch of the family. I am also looking for a branch of the Stonehouse family that. I believe, moved to the Salt Lake City area in the 1930's. William Stonehouse from Northumberland, England went to the US to work for a newspaper. He would have been my great uncle and I have some information on his brother James. I also have a little information on his father.
