Notes |
- My name is Alison Saunders Duxbury and I live in Seattle, Washington, USA.
I am writing to you at the suggestion of William Jervois, Resident
Genealogist, Albany Museum, Grahamstown.
I am interested in finding any living relatives descended from my
grandfather, Frederick Anastasius Saunders (1859-1934), a physician, who
went to South Africa in 1892 and resided in Grahamstown for some 40 years
until his death. He married Lucy Anderson Meiklejohn (1872-1938) in Cape
Town in 1893.
My father was John B. de C. M. Saunders, MB ChB, FRCS born in Grahamstown
in 1903. He left Grahamstown in 1919 or 1920 to continue his education
at Edinburgh University, Scotland. He returned to South Africa briefly in
1930 before continuing on to California where he was associated with the
University of California as Professor of Anatomy and of Medical History
and became the Dean of the Medical School and Chancellor of the UC San
Francisco Health Sciences campus. My father did not keep in contact with
his family in South Africa; he died in 1991.
My fathers brother, Reginald Andries Ferdinand Maasdorp Saunders
(1894-1964?) had four children: (1) Lucy Margaret Danvers Saunders
(1928-?) married Lawlor, (2) Frederick Reginald Danvers Saunders, (3)
Margery Hope Saunders married Lee (2) and (4) Michael Graham Maasdorp
Saunders (1930-?).
My fathers sister, Margaret (Peggy) Stuart Saunders (1897-1980) married
Harry Hillier Fuller (1896-1974). They had two children: (1) Hugh John
Saunders Fuller and (2) Margaret Ann Adele Fuller (deceased), married John
Carmichael Griffiths. They had 3 children: Ann Adele (1951- ) married
Edward Cutter, John Geoffrey (1953 - ), and David Hillier (1956 - ).
Other siblings of my father either moved away from South Africa or had no
issue.
I know that all the members of my fathers Saunders generation are dead and
I have only the above information about any of their descendants and no
current addresses. My husband and I will be visiting the Capetown and
Grahamstown areas in late February and early March and would like to find
some of my relatives. Any information or suggestions that would aid me in
finding members of the Saunders family in South Africa would be deeply
appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.
