No they're definitely two different people. Sarah Goodeve nee Darby 1796 - 1888 and Jane Bone nee Darby c1825 - 1879.

Correction: thanks to the new GRO index I've found that Jane's first daughter was in fact Jane Rebecca. So no help there

Yes, Rachel married Charles Darby in 1793 and Sarah was born to Rachel and Charles in 1796 and for some reason not baptised until 1812. So, Annie, are you suggesting Sarah was really born pre 1793 and the birth date at her much delayed baptism fudged? That sounds possible although it looks like even with a 1796 birth date she lived to a very old age dying in 1888 aged 91. Add another 3 years on and that makes 94. In the East End!
I wish I could work out where Jane comes from though. There seems to be a curious lack of children belonging to Charles and Rachel which makes Jane's parentage very difficult to pin down. I can't see how she is related but she must be looking at the witnesses I mentioned previously. Her own first daughter was named Rachel which may or may not be a pointer (Sarah of course had a daughter named Rachel in 1838).

sent off for the death certificate of Rachel Darby - it's just added more bricks to an already stubborn brick wall.
Three years ago I was searching for the baptism of Jane Darby
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=656801.msg5027370#msg5027370
and had worked on the basis that Jane must have been closely related to Sarah Goodeve nee Darby, whose mother was Rachel Darby. Now the death certificate states that Sarah Goodeve, the informant, declared herself to be the sister of widow Rachel, not the daughter!
Is it really likely the registrar made a mistake in thinking the daughter then aged about 44 was the sister of the deceased then aged 67, particularly when I haven't found any siblings for Sarah? I'm so confused.

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Re: Family Historian, am I thick? Gedcom disaster
« on: Thursday 21 July 16 15:44 BST (UK) »
I'm another one new to Family Historian, enjoying the 30 day trial. In the past I've been using an old version of FTM making regular GEDCOMs, emailing them to myself and opening them in my Heredis app on my ipad. With no trouble. However now, although I can do the GEDCOM export from FH using the File > Export route, the notes are missing when I open Heredis. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I made sure nothing was excluded when I did the export.
Is this anything to do with the fact that in FH my notes appear in the bottom of the 2 windows of the notes tab (which I think I can fix using the Clean Up Notes plug in when I purchase the program, putting them into the top box - is that right?).
