Sarah Darby was baptised at St. Peter's on Wednesday, 9 December 1750 at Roydon, Essex.1,2 The church has walls of flint and rubble, and probably dates back to at least 1260. Historically, Roydon was a parish of scattered farms and cottages, with open fields and common meadows. There were 105 ratepayers named in 1734, and the population was 667 in 1801. On the north and west, rivers form the parish and county boundaries.3
She was the daughter of Richard Darby and Sarah Peachy.1
She married John Underwood, in a Church of England ceremony at St. Peter's on Monday, 12 October 1772 at Roydon, Essex..4
She may have attended the wedding of her brother in the marriage of Richard Darby and Anne Brett in a Church of England ceremony at St. Peter's on Thursday, 8 June 1775 at Roydon, Essex. Both Richard and Anne signed the wedding certificate. They went on to have four children together.5,6
She may have attended the wedding of her brother sister Elizabeth when she married Thomas Darby in a Church of England ceremony at St. Peter's on Monday, 14 September 1778 at Roydon, Essex. Elizabeth and Thomas went on to have 11 children together over 17 years.7,6
Sarah attended the wedding of Matthew Bush and her sister Susannah Darby in a Church of England ceremony at St. Dunstan's on Monday, 9 August 1790 at Hunsdon, Hertfordshire. They also signed the marriage certificate as witnesses. Matthew was 20 years older than Susannah.7,8 "About two miles north-east from Stanstead, in the same hundred (Braughin), stands the pleasant village of Hunsdon, in the parish of its name. From the church, and other positions in the neighbourhood, some beautiful views may be obtained, including the course of the Stort to join the Lea ... The parish [1839] contains about 600 inhabitants." The church stands close to Hunsdon House, nearly a mile south of the village. The walls are of flint rubble with stone dressings, the south chapel being built of brick. This church possesses some exceptionally good details of fittings of the 16th and 17th centuries.9
Her father died February 1821 at the approximate age of 90. Sarah was aged 70 when this happened.
Sarah died on 3 April 1829 at age 78 at the reported age of 79.2 She was buried on 10 April 1829 at Hunsdon, Hertfordshire.4
