No, I don't think that is the Sarah I am looking for but thanks anyway. Sarah's birth year in the Censuses ranges from 1811 to 1817 but the place of birth, Folksworth, never changes. However there is nothing on line for Folksworth that I can find and it seems to vary between being in Huntingdonshire and in Northamptonshire, which makes where to look even more confusing.

Folksworth has always been in Hunts.

Hunts isn't the easiest county to research online as the LDS was refused permission to film many parish registers, hence they're not on the IGI or BVRI. But Folksworth burials are on the NBI, and on FindmyPast, and marriages are on the Hunts Marriage Index available from Hunts FHS. And a transcript of the parish register is available from Hunts FHS. So Folksworth is relatively easy to research compared to other Hunts parishes where the registers are only available at Huntingdon Archives.
