Thanks Shirley and Andy, First one born Chilton Polden married to Henry is right.
wondered if they had any children. Henry died 1852 - Sarah died 1853. Short marriage and life.

Are you sure Henry died?
Could it be that Sarah died and Henry remarried?

Oh dear, Thanks everyone. The only way to solve this would be to purchase D/Cert of Sarah to see if she was a Widow or death reg. by Henry. Interesting but if no children Henry's second marriage would not be connected to me as Sarah was the link. Thank you everybody. Will mark this as answered to save you anymore work.
