Sarah was born about 1770-71 at Kinnersley, Herefordshire, according to the census. Four candidate Sarahs were born in Kinnersley between 1771-72: (1) Sarah Lewis (chr 9 Dec 1771) daughter of Francis and Mary[1]; (2) Sarah Moteley (chr 5 Jan 1772) daughter of Robert and Elizabeth[2]; (3) Sarah Waring (chr 26 Jul 1772) daughter of Edmund and Ann[3]; and (4) Sarah Price (chr 22 May 1772) daughter of Phoebe[4]. The first is most likely, based on census age.
In the March 30 1851 census, the widowed Sarah (80) was living with her son William (57) at Kinnersley, Herefordshire, where both were born.
