they moved to Bedwellty because Adelaide married a John Sheppard in 1905.
not sure what happened to the other girls, perhaps they stayed in Bristol

i have found the girls on the 1891 census.
father was Edward - appears as Edwin
mother ann
surname Saunders
married in 1868

came from Crudwell Wilts
moved to Bristol -North Common
moved to Bedwellty South Wales

finding it a little hard to find marriages

Have you found any of them on any census. You may need to identify the children first

hi have you tried looking on census for them if you want help give us more info like names dates birth and place
and we will see if we can find them
PP :-)

Hello everyone,
I have been asked to investigate my Mothers ancestor. Not sure what is true and what is family myth.
the story is that one of her ancestors maiden name Saunders killed her two children. she was sentenced to be executed but this was changed to life. It was either Elizabeth,1870/ Florence, 1875/ Ellen1877 or Annie.1883 the dates cover from about 1890 to 1920.s i should imagine.
i know this is a bit vague to say the least, but i was wondering if anyone knew where i start?
Is there such a thing as prison records for public reading?
