Has anyone knowledge of Sarah Boyton who according to the IGI is the daughter of Robert & Sarah Boyton and was baptised 5 Nov 1710 at Bocking. I'm looking for Sarah Doyten/Boyton who married William Thompson at Panfield by banns 26 August 1731. I found the marriage whilst I was in the UK recently but didn't have time to follow it up. I interpreted the surname in the marriage entry as Doyten but it was badly written, I suspect the correct spelling would be Boyten/Boyton/Boyiten etc.
Thank you.
