There were two Joseph Saunders baptised in Crick at about the same time. It is possible that Joseph Saunders son of John and Alice baptised 15/10/1752 at Crick could be the Joseph who married Mary Clay, however the Joseph baptised 24/03/1754 son of Thomas and Ann seems to be the more likely because his children have the same names as those of his brothers and sisters.
Mary Saunders (Clay) was baptised at St. Helen’s Sharnford,
Leicestershire. Details of this
baptism are entered in the parish register on two separate sheets of paper...
(1) Mary Clay, wife of Joseph Saunders was baptised at the age of 77
years. I can find no registry of her baptism but the persons whose names
are appended, table that they were present when she was baptised.
Sampson Jacobs(?) Curate.
(2) Baptised February 14th 1829, Mary Sanders, formerly Clay, of the Parish of
Sharnford.
Joseph Cotman Rector witness Richard Holyoak and Rebecca Sanders.
The Parish Register of St Helen's Sharnford records the marriage of Joseph Saunders of this Parish to Mary Clay of Claybrook by banns on 10th October 1776.
Anne (child no 3) married William
GOODE on 27/10/1801 at St Helen’s Sharnford
Joseph (child no 4) was buried on
22/6/1784 and the next son given the same name (7)
Elizabeth (child no 5) was buried
24/9/1786 and a later daughter has been given the name Elizabeth (8)
Mary (child no 6) married Joseph
WALE on 18/6/1809 at St Helen’s Sharnford
Joseph (child no 7) married Sarah HACKETT 14/11/1820 in Sharnford. He died on 11/01/1870 (death certificate from Chris Le Cornu) and was buried 16/01/1870 in Sharnford. Sarah was baptised 18/05/1800 in Sharnford (father William Hackett, mother Helen). They had 1 child - Charles, possibly baptised on 23/11/1823 and died 13/01/1883 age 59 in Sharnford. It would appear from the census information that Sarah died somewhere between 1823 and 1841 and that Charles never married.
