42 ish seems a reasonable age in 1829 for someone who married in 1811
Added to say…AND had a baby.  So 1770 seems far too old.

(No Clares as witnesses to the marriage  …Elizabeth Lewis & Willm. Bailey  (Willm Bailey is a regular witness)
Have you identified Elizabeth Lewis?

Sarah was buried in early January, so likely not to have had her birthday by then, so born abt 1787.
Can't find a likely Elizabeth Lewis as a spinster in the area.
Looking now for a Mr Lewis who  married an Elizabeth Something in the years prior to 1811.

Sarah may have been baptised with a different surname, and her mother later married a Mr Clare, either as a single woman or a young widow, and Sarah used her stepfather's surname later.
Berks / Oxon: Eltham, Annetts, Wiltshire (surname not county), Hawkins, Pembroke, Partridge
Dorset / Hants: Derham, Stride, Purkiss, Sibley
Yorkshire: Pottage, Carr, Blackburn, Depledge
Sussex: Goodyer, Christopher, Trevatt
Lanark: Scott (soldier went to Jersey CI)
Jersey: Fowler, Huelin, Scott

An Elizabeth Wilkes married John Lewis in 1803 at Dawley Magna. I was hoping for an Elizabeth Clare.
