Shows George Tapsell married Sarah Wood
(no other info. transcribed)
It does seem clear that the same Sarah married first George TAPSELL and then Richard LEWIS.
Assuming there was a Sarah WOOD, daughter of Richard WHITEHEAD and Rachael WOOD I still can't be sure that it was that Sarah who married George and Richard, there were others of a similar age nearby and I have NOT done the research to rule others out or to find convincing evidence it was this Sarah.
(Most noticably, there was a Sarah Wood who married in Hayes in 1787. Given that Hayes appears to have been the birthplace of Rachael, Sarah's mother, it is a particularly likely place for her to marry.)
However, the fact I appear to have DNA match with a descendant of both the marriage of Sarah to George TAPSELL and of the same Sarah's marriage to Richard LEWIS adds weight to it being the daughter of my ancestor Richard WHITEHEAD who married first George and then RIchard. (This is especially likely as this is not a part of Kent where I have ancestors other than Richard and his forebears, so far as I am aware, so it is not likely that I am related to Sarah's descendants through another line, as could easily be the case in some small areas of England).
