  Special Note	1881	Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada   [4]
  The name William Saunders appears as a witness at the marriages of three daughters of James and Joanna (Evoy) Saunders at St. Mary's Basilica in Halifax, Nova Scotia in the 1840s and 1850s. These events suggest a close kinship, and although I found no documented proof that William was their brother, I believe it is a strong possibility.

  Buried	abt. 15 Apr 1881	Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada   [5]
  Address: Holy Cross Cemetery
  William is commemorated on the same headstone as James and Johanna Saunders and one of their granddaughters.
