Not unusual for folk to claim to being born in whichever parish they are living at the time...one of my families was consistant in telling porkies on pob

Looking back in census in 1871 Sarah is 8 and her place of birth is given as Watersfield.  Looking at Free BMD (which you can do yourself) there is a Sarah Ellen reg in Thakeham...Thakeham RD covers the parishes of Coldwaltham and Watersfield.................

and the same for John Blackman reg in Thakeham RD Jun Q 1861 so it looks as though they were both born in Coldwaltham

Chistenings;
WILLIAM James Humphrey, 04 December 1870, Hardham, Sussex
GEORGE Humphrey, 26 March 1865, Hardham, Sussex
Both with Parents JESSE and MARY ANNE

SARAH ELLEN Humphrey , 02 August 1863, Coldwaltham, Sussex
ROSA Humphrey, 10 January 1869, Coldwaltham, Sussex
Parents JESSE and MARYANNE 

1881 Census has;
Jesse HUMPHREY, 55, Farm lab
Maryanne, 44
George, 16, Farm lab
John, 13, Plough boy
William, 10
Henry, 9
Frederick, 6
James, 3
Elizabeth, 2
Walter, 2 weeks
All born Coldwaltham except George who is down as Hardham which fits with Christenings. And 1891 census where John/William are with their sister Sarah Ellen Blackman. 

Possible Marriage from FreeBMD;
Jesse HUMPHREY
December 1859
Thakenham
2b 459
On same page only 1 spouse but spelt 2 ways!
Mary Anne HENINGTON or HERRINGTON   
So I cant check Census for her at the moment to get the correct name.

EDIT;
1891 Sarah Ellen is away from home working as a Servant
