The only likely marriage is in 1810 but the fly in the ointment is the bride was not a spinster, and if she is the same woman, she'd have to be a very young widow if she was just 19/20.
I can see how that might be uncomfortable, although I will say that one of mine married at 19 and was widowed at 21. I also have an ancestor who married at 15/16 years old- although her husband outlived her, she could potentially have been a widow that young if he hadn't.
And she may have been born about 1787-1788 instead of 1790/1791. Sarah may have been approximately 60 in 1851 when she died. She and her husband had her first child in July 1812. I tend to question ages at deaths at the best of times but even more when they are an exact round figure, often that is a educated guess. She was admitted to the workhouse in 1848 and her age was given as 57. The marriage was April 1810 in Axminster, Devon, and Sarah's hubby was a coachman. I even have a copy of the original 1810 marriage record and George Coombs was a bachelor. No occupations given but both signed the register, they did not just give their mark. Sarah witnessed her eldest sons marriages in 1835 and 1845 so I compared signatures but could not draw any conclusions.
After 1810 the George and Sarah seem untraceable in Devon and my George and Sarah seem the only candidates who could be the same couple.
