Their - James & Sarah - monumental inscriptions are recorded on the OPC site. (For some reason, Ancestry doesn't have post 1812 burials)

Given that James Millard had inherited property in Bruton Somerset from James Allen, do you suppose that he might have originated from there?

Thanks Phoenix, I'll have a look at the OPC site.

I did wonder about a possible Somerset connection but Millard appears to be a mostly Dorset name. Needs further investigation though.
