Sarah LONG 1798 - 1865 Newland (General)

Thank you slowhands for taking an interest in my problems.

The marriage record for Ann Long and George Nash in 1842 (FoD Record_ID: 12590) gives the father of Ann as Richard Long, so I had assumed that Richard and the mother Sarah were married. Hence I was not looking for the birth/baptism of a Sarah Long, but hoped that there would be a record of her first marriage to Richard Long to give her maiden name.

The records suggest that Sarah CARLISLE nee LONG is the grandmother of Tom / Thomas NASH 1844

My question is it possible for a Sarah D'ARCY nee LONG to have given birth to a base child called Sarah LONG in Newland prior to her marriage in say 1798 ?

Ann LONG is Tom's mother, Ann's father Richard, born in approx 1820.

On the marriage transcription it does not say that Richard is deceased, and from Census data LONG's in Newland / Coleford seem to be rare.

There is a John LONG from Mitcheltroy Monmouth who is a Farmer, his daughter Sarah marries John Elsmore in 1855 in Bream. I wonder if your LONG's are related ?
