I have looked for a Sarah Scrivener (and variations) in 1841, 1851 and 1861 census and cannot find one born Berkshire, nor living in Berkshire, of the right age.
I see from your previous threads that she was aged 35 in 1864, so born about 1829-ish and that her father was Richard. (taken from marriage certificate)
I cannot find a Richard Scrivener (and variations) in Berkshire in any of those censuses either.
Of course, this does not mean that she didn't come from that area - census information is not 100% accurate. However, I can find no suggestion on any census that she did come from Bershire.
