• Name	Stephen SAUNTER

  Gender	Male
  _UID	ABE2886D844F48D197A5485991FD5D1F5561
  Death	Mar 1889	Elham RD   [1]
  Notes	1841 census: not found. 1851 census: at 54 Snargate Street, St Marys, Folkestone, Kent, Steaphan (sic) (40, cordwainer employing 20 men & 2 apprentices, born Bacatley(? - Beckley in later censuses), Sussex) Liser(?) (40, born Sandwich(?), Kent), Ann (19, born Rye, Sussex), Liser(?) (6, scholar, born Camberwell, Surrey), Jack (4, scholar, born Camberwell, Surrey) and Harry (3, born Dover, Kent). Stephen and Mary lived together for many years before marrying in 1877. Margaret Saunter says that Stephen's first wife was (possibly) Susannah Farrell, with whom Stephen had 4 daughters, 2 of whom died before 8 years old in Rye. This doesn't square very well with the 1851 census quoted above. Margaret adds that Susannah died and was buried at Rye on 29 January 1872 leaving Stephen free to marry Mary Madams. 1861 census: at 8 Grove Terrace, St Marys, Folkestone, Kent, Stephen (52, bootmaker (3 men), born Beckley, Sussex), Mary (30, born Whitstable, Kent), John [presumably Jack in 1851] (14, apprentice bootmaker, born Camberwell, Surrey), Harry (3, born Dover, Kent) and Florence M (4 months, born Folkestone, Kent). 1871 census: at 6 Grove Terrace, Folkestone, Kent, Stephen (63, shoemaker employing 1 man, born Beckley, Sussex), Mary (43, born Whitstable, Kent), Harry (13, scholar, born Dover, Kent), Florence M (10, scholar, born Folkestone, Kent), Affra H (7, scholar, born Folkestone, Kent) and Charles J (5, scholar, born Folkestone, Kent). 1881 census: at 150 Dover Road, Folkestone, Kent, Stephen (77, bootmaker, born Beckley, Sussex), Mary (53, born Whitstable, Kent), Eliza H (17, born Folkestone, Kent) and Charles T (15, bootmakers assistant, born Folkestone, Kent).
