Sarah Coombes married Thomas Lanning in London in 1852.
In 1841 she was in Kington Magna, Dorset, servant to Job Lanning
In 1851 she was in London, pretending to be Thomas's wife.
By 1856 she had died of a miscarriage.

I think she came from Buckhorn Weston. ( a neighbouring parish)
On my hypothesis, she was a daughter of William and Harriet Coombes, bp 1819 in Buckhorn Weston: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/2162/32435_239530-00070/3447512?backurl=http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/45093350/person/6312669016/facts/citation/10309204625/edit/record
Her brother Job married, and gave his father's occupation as wheelwright:

Just like Sarah did:

On the baptism and the 1841 census, William is recorded merely as a carpenter.

Ignoring the many trees that suppose Sarah to have come from Iwerne Minster, there remains one which states she married George Perrot in Buckhorn Weston in 1851. This, too, seems rubbish - and is unsourced - but can anyone suggest where this info comes from? It does not seem to be the banns or marriage register - I have looked at both.

Thank you, Kite! What I have clearly missed is my own question - and the help provided! - on the subject.
