Sarah was born in  Middlesex i believe . She was born 1693-1780.

They had 4 children
Robert 1725,
james 1729, and son 
thomas, supposedly a daughter named
Janet,or janette born 1723

I'm wondering if this might be Sarah
you have two sons named as Robert & James

Sarah Sandilands born 27 Sep 1690 Reading, England
parents Robert Sandilands & Mary
Meeting: Monthly Meeting of Reading and Warborough

Looking at the entry I can’t make out the parish name
of  in Reading & County of B?rke,
details from England & Wales Quaker Birth, Marriage & Death Registers 1578 – 1837
(available to view on ancestry)

Also to same parents
Romaryorie born 13 Sep 1685
James born 1 Mar 1686

Romaryorie Sandiland Father: Robert Sandiland
Burial Date: 8 Nov 1685 Reading, England
Meeting:   Monthly Meeting of Reading and Warborough: Reading

There’s this marriage detail this is the date on the index 30 Nov 1784 Reading Berkes
Robert Sandilands Mary Cross

When you view the actual page heading reads
16?4 Robert & Mary Sandiland,
father James Mother Marjory Sandiland,
father William Greenaway mother An

Robert Sandiland ? student in ye ? ? of the ? in Scotland, son of ye ? James Sandiland Town Clerk of the foresaid place & of Marjory his wife ? and Mary Cross widow of Reading in the County of B?ks wife of Henry Cross ? of ye same place & daughter of William Gr(ee)naway? (Bargmaker)  etc etc….

marriage year looks to read
one thousand six hundred eighty four (1684) which would tie up with the birth or Romarjorie (1685)

At the end there are a list of 33 names (2 of those being Robt Sandiland & Mary Cross)
very long document to transcribe will take a fair bit of time need to concentrate on & try to decipher correctly 

Do you have access to Ancestry?
