Re: non-conformist worship,

Not that I know of, Sarah's husband was the son of a CE parish clerk and they married at a CE church.

However there ia a family legend that links them with a Methodist church. My father always told me that he and his siblings were was baptised at a Methodist church but it turned out that just one of his brothers was, the rest at a CE church.

It looks like the non-conformist theory will have to be explored further. Are any records from the area available?
