But, then there is also this one:-

Christening Place: SIDBURY,DEVON,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Willm Dowell
Mother's Name: Sarah Davies

...........which gives Sarah's name as Davies, so looks to be 2 different couples names William and Sarah.

Do you know anything else about them - names of children for example.
Is 1790 birth or marriage year?
An Ancestry tree has a Sarah Barber (b. 1773 Norfolk) marrying a William McDowell 1790 Sidbury Devon?
