Yes, I believe that is indeed the correct Sarah Jenkins, though there was also a Sarah Jenkins baptised in Coleford in 1812 (whom I listed in my earlier posting), and the following Sarah Anne Jenkins born to George and Elizabeth Jenkins and baptised at Bream Chapel in 1812:

My GGG-grandmother Sarah Jenkins Nash was indeed a widow living at Sling Pit in 1851; her husband William Nash had passed away the previous year. In the 1841 census, she was living with William and their children in the same area (Sling/Clay Lane End).
