Saunders, James I have been researching James Saunders for the Chelsea Graves Society and have gathered a large collection of documents. James was born on 20th September 1878 in Rawtenstall, Lancashire and died on June 22nd 1952 in Manchester. He is buried at Failsworth cemetery in Oldham in the same grave as his wife Emily (nee Boot). It would appear that at the same time as he was married to Emily, James was also married to another woman named Dorothy Harley. He was arrested on a charge of bigamy and tried at Liverpool Assizes in 1923. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. If any family member on here wishes to get in touch, please send me an email at robertrandall261@gmail.com

Saunders, James I have been doing my husbands ancestry for many years & James Edward Saunders was his Great grandfather. I believe he was born in Rawtenstall in 1878 although his father was from Birmingham. I have lots of information & it would be great if either Carolyn or Lindzie would get in touch so we can share the information. Thanks Janet
