Hi Pauline anne,
Hubert's father was John SAUNDERS b.1852, his parents were Charles bapt. 21 Aug 1803 d. 18 Jun 1858 and Hannah ALLEN. They were married on 28th Dec 1829 in Berkeley, Glos.
Charles' father was Thomas bapt. 18 May 1753 d. 4 Jan 1830. He married Sarah Webster in Lydney church on 26th Dec 1782.
Thomas's parents were Robert SAUNDERS and Jane DAVIS. I have been unable to find Roberts birth but I know he was married on 2 Jan 1738 in Lydney and died in Lydney on 25 Nov 1768, where he is burried.
If you go through the Lychgate at St. Mary's church, Lydney you will find a collection of headstones on your left hand side about 15 yards in who are all SAUNDERS and are all decendents of Robert and Jane.
You will also find Victor on the Cenotaph outside the churchyard.
My connection.....Charles (1753) is my GGGG grandfather.
