The transcribed Parish Records we have contain all the information that was
recorded in the Parish Registers. Some parishes included more information in
their registers than others. If you have viewed a few of the records you will
notice the information in the registers varies depending who was the Vicar at
the time and generally you will find more information in later years.
In 1837 a civil registration system for births, marriages and deaths was
introduced in England and Wales. For events 1837 onwards certificates are
available which sometimes contain more details than the parish records, these
certificates are available from the authorities.
Past posting giving information on what information the certificates contain.

The Census data for Sarah is 1795 - 1798 - its always possible that whoever reported the death / informed the Parish clerk was not sure of the real age or just confused !
