Notes - The surname is very difficult to read in the Banns notice and the marriage register. It could be HUPSEY, for instance. HUSSEY is picked because the "mark of" name seems to be this, and the penmanship seems quite scatty for the minister concerned, and it is on balance the most likely....
Searching for Sarah HUSSEY and similar names comes up with only 1 recorded baptism that is not too far from Affpuddle and about the right date, assuming that the 1841 Census is roughly correct. This is for Sarah born to Gideon and Sarah and baptised on 17 May 1781 in West Knighton.
There is no obvious census entry for 1851, so it is likely that she had died by then. There is a burial of a Sarah Guy at Kimmeridge, which is possible, on 8 Feb 1859, aged 84 (ie DOB in 1775), which is possible, but it is probably not her.
