The family were Baptist - Glen found records at Bucks RO.
"the Chess Vale Archealogical & Historical Society transcript for Chesham shows:
Children:
Elizabeth BUNKER aged 9, baptised 5/2/1756 - no parents names given, but fits exactly with her age at death.
However on the same day, 5/2/1756, a Hannah BUNKER, aged 8 mths was baptised and Hannah BUNKER d. John/Sarah from the Workhouse was buried 10/3/1757.
Another unbaptised child of John/Sarah was buried 5/4/1753"

There was a marriage at Chesham, Buckinghamshire for Francis Dod and Eliz Foster on 17 June 1725, who could be the parents of Sarah, but as she was not baptised as a child there is no way to prove it.
