Sauls (no longer) in Sheffield
Following on from previous work I have now extended the tree down from Thomas and Elizabeth.
I have had no success in tracing the two surviving sisters from these parents, but have managed reasonably well with the three sons Peter (1831) George (1835) and Joseph(1841). My line follows down from Peter who had three children William (1853), Lucy(1856) and Anne(1859), from his first marriage and I think one more from a second marriage James Latham who died aged twelve.
Again I have struggled with the ladies but it does appear that lucy died young. William went on to marry Frances Saddington and they had six children. Wilfrid, Lucy, Frances, Charles, Ebenezer and Frank. Wilfrid was a bit of a wild card and seemingly went against the strong methodist influence, he had two children Osmund and Carmen Eloise ! The latter went on to marry and I believe had two children. I am currently trying to track them down to hopefully find out more. I met Osmund in 1980 but sadly he died not long after that. Lucy married but had no children, although it appears she sort of adopted one of her nieces. Frances never married and remained a staunch methodist, going on to inherit from Father William. Her will left money to some 40+ nieces and nephews.
Charles had ten children including two sets of twins, moving to lincolnshire where the last child was born. One of those ten who shared his fathers name also went on to have ten children! I have just made contact with the daughter of one of the second ten. Ebenezer had three children, two girls and a boy. The two girls are still alive and I have been in contact with one. Her memory is excellent and she has helped considerably. I am descended from Frank and can do that bit of the tree easily!
The line from George seems to have remained in Sheffield. The longest and the next task is to sort that section out. There obviously was contact between the lines as one of the George line was a witness at Wilfrid's wedding.
I have also made contact with a descendent from Joseph.
