Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Sadler at Watlington?

Hi all, It is not clear how old these posts are. I have been researching the Sadler family for many years. They go back to John Sadler born in Crowmarsh Gifford in 1725. Ellen Sadler was the daughter of William Sadler and Ann Parker. They lived together as man and wife for some years before they married in 1853. According to the Bucks Free Press's report of the inquest into Ann's death [as Ann Frewin/Fruin] in 1880 Ellen was born in Turville in 1859, although there is no record whatsoever of her birth. She was probably originally called Hannah and born to William and Ann in 1860.
I think the vicar must have been a bit useless, as there are definitely mistakes in the parish register. William Sadler was baptised in 1809 to James Sadler and his wife Grace, nee Clarke, although on his marriage certificate it says his father was called William. James was born in 1786 in Crowmarsh Gifford. It is not clear who is 'Ann' on the 1841 Census. His wife Patience was still alive at the time. It is possible perhaps that the information came from a neighbour who didn't remember his wife's name.
I am interested in hearing more from anyone researching this family.
