Maria Saunders born 1836 first child of Robert and Ann.
Maria was born in Longford and moved to Evandale a few years later.
In October 1854 Maria Saunders appears to have given birth to a son William Henry Saunders in Morven (Evandale) the father is listed as unknown. Is this our Maria?
Maria married in November 1854 to Thomas Nelson King who was 36 at the time. Thomas was listed as a baker in Evandale in 1858. There are no records found yet of any children.
Thomas Nelson King was still living in Evandale in 1860.
On the 9 January 1861 Thomas Nelson King is in the Cornwall Chronicle in a legal dispute in regards to land he had purchased that had a Water course and Quarry on it. There seams to be some sort of dispute over boundaries with the neighbour and who owned what. It does not list the address of the property.
Thomas was recorded as insolvent in 29th May 1861 he is listed as a farmer at West Arm, West Tamar. On the 8 June 1861 an application for discharge was lodged, it was granted on 22 June 1861.
No other records have been located for both Maria and Thomas.
