Although they married in Surrey - what evidence do you have they were both born there?  Wood is a very common surname so some guideline as to their respective birthyears is needed.

How old were they when they died?

Is Sarah shown as a spinster or a widow on the 1786 marriage entry?

John Wood died 2. December 1841 in Burstow, age unknown. Sarah died 13 June 1833 in Burstow, age unknown. The Information come from familysearch records. A Familytree stated that she was born on the 11 of May 1765 in Burstow but without her Parents names , and that John was born 1761 in Horley, Surrey and was christened on the 17 of February 1762 in Saint Saviour, Southwark, Surrey , also without Parents names.

Best wishes

As per  https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp he was 81.  1841 census shows him aged 80 and born in county

Family Search has 2 baptisms in 1760 in different parts of Surrey

That was her burial date - not her death date.  She was 66 so approx birthyear 1766/7
