There is a baptism shown for a John Webb 1844, but the father is different :

Another in 1848, with father George, mother Harriett.

I think it is Joseph & Sarah and that the Parish Record for 1844 is wrong, see Census :

1851 Census East Dean
8
WEBB Joseph 38 Engineer East Dean
Sarah 38 East Dean
George 17 Ruardean
Joseph 14 Pit Labourer East Dean
Jane 11 East Dean
John 7 East Dean
Sarah 4 East Dean
Richard 8m East Dean

EDWARDS John 41 Collier Stanton
Ellen 35 Hampshire
James 14 Coalpit Labourer Lydbrook
Martha 13 Lydbrook
Thomas 11 Lydbrook
Josiah 9 Lydbrook
John 7 Lydbrook
Elizabeth 4 East Dean
Charles 2 East Dean

I also believe that the Sarah who married Joseph Webb on 25 Nov 1832 Flaxley **, was Sarah Herbert 1812, daughter of John Herbert & Sarah Mason married 2 April 1809 Walford, Witnesses Elizabeth Yemm & James Webb. John Herbert being the son of William Herbert and Hannah Yemm. Sarah Mason being the sister of Benjamin Mason 1811 who married Olivia Cooksey.

** Witness 1 Mark of William Webb Witness 2 Mark of Jane Herbert
