Thanks S for finding this Sarah, not sure why I didn't see her in the 1881 Census but v pleased you did, for first time ever I even started dreaming about this hunt last night.
However please advise whether you think this IS "our" Sarah, or just one of the possibles, as clearly it's not a rare name locally at all ?.
I've just re-searched Births for a Sarah Jones born abt 1800-1810, on this site, GlosArchives Non Conformists site, & LDS. However there's no clear birth/baptism in the West Dean area that I can see despite there being quite a few possibles with father Thomas, especially if going over the border especially into Herefds etc.

These are the contenders from this site's PRs:

1043710 1798 JONES Sarah, Thomas & Margaret, Dixton
179780 1800 JONES Sarah, [not stated] & Priscilla, Penalt Penallt Monmouth
375332 1800 JONES Sarah, not stated & Margaret, Ledbury
72000 1803 JONES Sarah, Thomas & Sarah, Newent
391147 1803 JONES Sarah, Thomas & Pherina, Much Marcle
422981 1808 JONES Sarah, Thomas & Elizabeth, Monmouth

I've not searched all of these for likely subsequent marriages but I saw one last night that may fit the Newent one & personally I favour the Monmouth/Dixton ones.
Do you agree these warrant further research to hopefully whittle down further ?.

All the best, Jeff
