Where and when did he die? Do you have the US census data? Might give some clues. This posting board is for Ontario County east of Toronto -- you should cross-post to the general board.

I would disagree ... the 1900 census puts him born in New York, with his parents born in England. His death certificate information is only as good as the informant -- who filled it out and provided the information? Trying to do research in Canada without further information would prove impossible.

1900 US Census
Johnsburg, Warren County, New York

Sanders, William, Boarder, b. April 1823, age 77, widowed, b. New York, parents b. England
(in home of S??? Armstrong).

The 1880 census gives his birthplace as New York. So does the 1870 Census:

Johnsburgh, Warren County, New York

Saunders, William, age 42, carpenter & jointer, b. New York
Saunders, Julia H., age 37, keeping house, b. New York
Saunders, Louisa C., age 14, at home, b. New York
Saunders, James, age 13, laborer, b. New York
Saunders, Oliver, age 11, laborer, b. New York
Saunders, William, age 9, at home, b. New York
Saunders, Anna, age 5, at home, b. New York
Saunders, Alfred, age 4, at home, b. New York
Saunders, Gideon, age 1, at home, b. New York

I'm having a hard time pulling the family together in 1860, but have found the following:

Johnsburg, Warren County, New York

Gleason, Russel, age 25, carpenter, b. New York
Gleason, Lordina, age 22, housekeeper, b. New York
Saunders, Loesa, age 5, b. New York

In a separate household:
Saunders, Wm., age 35, farm laborer, b. New York
(in home of George Moore)

Am wondering if Julia was a second marriage, and he was a widower at the time in 1860, leaving Louisa with relatives or neighbours.

It makes me think about Julia being a second marriage, because it has written down that William states in his pension records that he married Julia Hills in North River,Warren County,NY on what seems to be February 1861 by the deacon John Brown but,I don't know how that can be...their first child,a son,Henry was born in North Hudson,Essex County,NY in 1850.

Henry 1850 m.Mary Casau
Alonzo 1854? m. Caroline(?)
James
Louisea m. Wm LaPrairie
Annie m. Fred Bassett
William 1861 m.??
Oliver 1858-1930 m.Phebe(?) m. Fanny Corlew
Gideon(Giddy) m. Ida Shaw
Nellie m. Michael Lynch

Thank you for your help!

1900 Census has his status as "wd" = widowed

I have seen him listed as widowed born in England living with an Armstrong family in Johnsburgh,NY. William's birth place is a tough one to find.

Thank you.
