Robert and Sarah Cover of Thursley

Robert Cover, a son of Thomas, a labourer, (and his wife Susan) was baptised in Hascombe on 28th December 1728.

Sarah Inwood could have been either of two girls baptised in the area; in Shere on 9th April 1727, a daughter of William, or in Puttenham on 1st March 1729/30, a daughter of John. No evidence has been found to say which Sarah Inwood married Robert Cover.
