Thank you everyone for your feedback - its been very interesting to hear your responses.
I did wonder about the Mickleham births - then I was looking at my tree last night and Ive got a Sarah born 1805 listed on there too which Id forgotten about - she was born in Bethnal Green so I wonder if Ive got it wrong and the 3 in Surrey were children of a different Richard and Sarah
Sarah was born in 1783 so the Dorking Richard would be 10yrs older - not unusual I know and could explain why he might have died before 1841 although Im still not convinced he did as my Gx4 Grandfather Joseph was married in 1845 and there was a Richard Dean as his witness - since Ive not found a brother for Joseph with that name, it could only be his Father or his cousin.
ARGH its sooo hard (but gorgeous, lovely fun )
