I assumed Lewis was his surname. Found his death:

3rd quarter 1938 Aged 47
Saunders, Henry L Romford 4a 430

Haven't found him on the census yet though. What was Abraham's profession?

Thank you for the information was awaiting a copy of his marriage certificate which doesn't show his date of birth but is signed by his father Abraham Saunders. So sadly its the wrong Saunders also am positive of his death September 1938 which was registered in Romford am aware that he moved with his family to Becontree in the early thirties.Many thanks
