How do you know Sarah is Née WEBB?

Is there an in-law at a census? Can you please post census ref. I can only see 1851.
Where are they 1841 & 1861?

At that 1851 Martha LOVELOCK is said to be a niece not a grandchild. But I do see her birth reg and baptism = Edward Lovelock and Mary Ann May, so that’s confusing.

I think this must be William May recorded at Old Farm Corner in Kingsclere aged 57 born Brimpton & a sawyer in the 1851 census. His wife Sarah is aged 58 & born in Reading. Also in the house is Martha Lovelock a niece aged 11 & born in Kingsclere.

Ten years later in the 1861 census William is recorded at Old Farm Road in Kingsclere aged 65, born Brimpton & a sawyer. His wife is now Maria aged 45 and born in Burghclere.

I reckon Sarah's death was recorded in Q3 1853 in Kingsclere RD aged 63. The age is slightly out compared to the 1851 census but only by a couple of years but ages weren't always recorded accurately in the census.

I can't see any marriage for William pre 1861 but in Q3 1862 in Kingsclere RD there was a marriage between William May & Maria Rose.

Then in the 1871 census Maria May is a widow still at Old Farm Road aged 58 & born Burghclere.

So I think William's death was in Q1 1871 in Kingsclere RD aged 78.
