Robert DAVY (Davey) born to Sarah DAVY (Davey) 1789 illegitimate in BURWELL

I am at a brick wall. I am looking to see if anyone can Please Help!

ROBERT DAVY born to SARAH DAVY christened on 12 April 1789 in Burwell, Cambridgeshire England.(the parish transcript says Robert Davy baseborn child of Sarah Davy)

What we think we know is-

SARAH FABEN was christened on 16 October 1754 in Swaffham Prior, England, she married Henry DAVY who was christened 9 December 1754 in Swaffham Prior, England, they married on 6 December 1773 In Burwell Parish, Cambridgeshire, England. They have a daughter SARA DAVY christened 16 October 1774 in  Prior, England. Henry then dies and is buried 24 December 1774 in Swaffham Prior. Right now I have no other father for Robert and clearly Henry is not the father. I am also wondering if the mother is the daughter Sarah?

I found a transcription from the Cambridge Family History Society:

DAVY Sarah and Sarah 1790
Archive Parish: Burwell
Other Parish: Swaffham Prior
Type of document: Settlement Removal Order

We have then had people connect Robert to Campbell not Davy, not sure if this is true or not either. I appreciate any information and documentation that I can look up so I can have proof. I am excited to be here and hope to be able to help others as they help me.

One online transcript of the baptism of Robert Davey 12 April 1789 at Burwell shows his mother Sarah Davey to be a widow.

Rosie99,
 interesting because the parish transcript we have from St. Mary's in Burwell we found Robert Davy son of Sarah Davy widow also, but baseborn. I am wondering if he was re baptized, or if there are two Robert's OR big one it was transcribed incorrectly with no fault to anyone of course. Can you share where you found the info? If it was an original or not? Thanks for your help I appreciate it this has been a long year of work! Just re read and saw that it was an online transcript you saw also. HMM the mystery continues

Sorry it was just a transcript.  Unfortunately Burwell and Swaffham Prior registers are not available to view online.  The clergy was obviously being polite with 'baseborn' as the child was born out of wedlock.

I agree that is what I as thinking. I told my aunt we might have to make a trip to Burwell when and if we can travel agin were in the US
