Capel parish records - FLINT

[PJH]

Hello one and all. Can anyone assist with a parish record check in Capel, Surrey for the name of Sarah Ann FLINT.
I know she married a James Simmons COOPER on 3/2/1862, but I can find no birth record for her. I assume it would be around 1839 ish. The only possible is a Sarah FLINT Sept 1/4 1839 in Horsham (VII 338). But pending the arrival of that certificate, can anyone help.
Many thanks. PJH.

I have Capel registers up to 1840 & there's no Sarah Ann Flint on the baptism's but of course she could have been born after this date.  The name Flint does appear there so if your certificate gives you information that points to Capel, come back & I'll try to help.

Hi PJH

Just to add to Jane's comments,

Do you have her marriage cert of 1862? If so what name and occupation is given for her father?

Have you found her and her family on the 1851 census?

(And it wasn't compulsory to register births until the 1870's so there may not be a registered birth)

Thanks for the help.
I have just received the marriage certificate today! How's that for timing.
Her marriage is on 3/2/1862 at the Parish Church at Capel. She is shown as Sarah Ann FLINT of full age, spinster living at Capel Street. Father is given as Frank FLINT occ= sawyer.
Her husband is James Simmons Cooper, labourer also of Capel Street. No father's details? (Illegitimate possibly?).
Witnesses were John Worsfold and Eleanor Taylor.
I do not have access to the 1851 census unfortunately.
Does any of this help?
Thankyou.
Regards.

Thank you Jane, that is super.
Looks like the Horsham birth for Sarah Flint is a good bet (1839).
Many thanks.

I think so too.  She is on the IGI as being baptised 19/5/1839, West Grinstead.  This pre-dates the Q3 birth registration but that might have been a late registration,
