Thankyou for all of your help.
I found the name William Saunders who was a Coster from my Great Grandmothers Marriage Certificate. It also said she was 19 yrs,
so I looked up on Free BMD & Family search & found what I think is her date of birth.
I have also asked other members, by doing search trees on here.
A Thomas Saunders & Caroline Saunders were witnesses at Ann's wedding.
I have used all of the different Family Search sites & found that Thomas,Caroline & Ann were children born to William & Caroline.
I found their marriage on Family Search as well.
Thanks for trying to help me

Fred, what do you mean you "found" Caroline, William and Ann? Where did you find them?

How do you know father William was born c1813?
