Notes for Sarah Charlewood
Because her mother died in 1798 and her brother was born in 1796, she must have been born around 1797.  The 1851 census gives 1799 for her birth but she could still have been 52 and born in 1798, which is now the best guess.

In fact she was born in 1797, from her baptism:

First name(s)           Sarah

I can find no information about any of their marriages of Sarah’s offspring or, possibly, descendants.  There are just too many Martins with the same forenames in this universe.
