Research
Searched BMDregisters web site for Sara* Chown births/baptisms but did not find this Sarah. 09-MAY-2008.

Based on the book "The Wesleyan Methodist Itinerancy" by Joseph Hall (1873), if Sarah was baptized in the same religion as her brother Joseph, the minister that year would have been either James Gill or John Morgan.
