I hope the air has cleared in Carcassonne, it has been sunny here today. If it is any conolation I lost 2 days work checking all the census’ when my computer automatically shut down. I know ‘control and save’!
Is she (Sarah) the Sarah Hartopp who marrried Abraham Fisher in Keysoe in 1783, following the death of Thomas in 1780?
John a big ‘Thank you’ for reply and that Sarah Hartop was a widow.
If Sarah Hartop was nee Sabey d of John then her mother was Elizabeth HULL of Thurleigh (d of Robert Hull a Farmer who died 1723 and Elizabeth)
There were other Sabey Hull / Hall links (plus Joseph and Elizabeth later)

I'm pretty sure the 1827 burial is that of William son of James and Elizabeth baptised 1752 in Bolnhurst. I'm not so sure about the William of Colmworth buried at Thurleigh.. He could just as easily be William (brother of Goodman) baptised at Colmworth in 1721. BLARS have his will, which might shed some light on who he was. And, yes, I know, William's parents are shown as Joseph and Mary. I'm assuming this is a PR error for Joseph & Katherine.
Wm Sabey of Colmworth burial 1 Nov 1782 St Peter at Thurleigh Beds
The reason I thought this could have been related to John of Backnoe is because John Saby's Farm was in the Parish of Thurleigh. If John’s son William did not die, perhaps he married at
Thurleigh to Sarah Throssel in 1785?
William's parents are shown as Joseph and Mary. I'm assuming this is a PR error for Joseph & Katherine.
I do not have the baptisms etc for this period in Colmworth so there may have been another William Sabey bap in Colmworth but have allocated the burial William bap 1721 son of Joseph and Mary/Katherine’s;
William Saby an infant buried 28 May 1728 at St Denys Colmworth Beds
In 1750….One of the non-conformists was John Saby, farmer, of Backenhoe, 8 in household. (Keysoe, Brook End Baptist Church Book, held at BLARS). That's either a lot of unrecorded children, all of whom must have died as they're not mentioned in the will) or a lot of servants.
John, his wife Elizabeth, children William and Sarah is only four! Elizabeth born and died 1752 James was born after 1756 so not in the count. A possible child was Mary Sabey d of J of Bolnhurst burial 1774 Thurleigh.
I had a look at any possible family members in the area who could have been servants to Farmer John in 1750 and found;
Joseph Sabey to Eliz Hall on 24 Dec 1751, servants, both of Bolnhurst (?1st wife)
They had one child bap William, son of Joseph & Eliz Saby, labr,
priv bap 26 Dec 1752 Bolnhurst.
If William was privately baptised did he die soon after which is why he was baptised to be buried?
Joseph’s wife Elizabeth nee Hall was buried in 1769. Although they had been married 18 years there were no other baptised children. Perhaps Joseph and Elizabeth were also NC and this is where Francis 1760 fits in? Could John the Farmer and Joseph the servant be related?
Somehow I've missed this Bolnhurst Sabey line from my Ancestry tree, as they don't link in to my other Sabeys ie they don't link to Joseph & Katherine. Must look to rectify that, but it's a day's work!
I look forward to your findings!!
