DEATH
BOWMAN, SARAH ANN 3
GRO Reference: 1853 M Quarter in MANCHESTER Volume 08D Page 113


Maybe the death of Sarah 1850? Perhaps she was a poorly child not expected to survive and that is why her parents named another child Sarah before she had actually died. The death certificate should give you an answer.

okie doke

Look for birth info on the GRO site

You were given the link earlier in this thread

And 1850 isn't 3 years after 1849.

thanks Maddie
