I found this a bit difficult to accept - that they had the same surname and come from such a small area. However, I have found a baptism record for a Sarah Hopkin that seems to match.

Do you think I should doubt that her family name is recorded correctly, or is this not unusual and not worth suspicion? Sorry if this is a dumb question...
