Reaching the last three of my 52 Ancestor Challenge, I know that what I write on these three individuals is more tentative than anything I have written on the first 49.
William Cheatle is the name that appears on the marriage registration of Sarah Cheatle and William Welch as a witness. Sarah Cheatle and William Welch both sign the marriage registration with their own hand as does William Cheatle. The surname Cheatle is fortunately a rather unusual one found commonly in this time period in Leicestershire.
Sarah Welch does appear on the census of 1841, 1851, 1861, and 1871.

Sarah Cheatle is said to be born at Ashby de la Zouch on the 1851 and 1861 census. The 1841 has her not born in Warwickshire. The 1871 census has her born at Alford according to the transcription but it doesn't actually look like that on the original census. It ends with ford but the letters preceeding that look more like Longford which is the place of birth of her daugher Ann (Welch) Buller. Ann is recorded as being born in Birmingham which is incorrect.
I have recorded previously the information which I found in the Ashby de la Zouch records for the Cheatle family in this time period:

There are three baptisms for Sarah Cheatle at Ashby de la Zouch that could be considered possibilities. Although the one baptism in 1789 seems rather too old to be considered (six years older than stated). Sarah lives until 1872 when she is said to be 78 years of age giving her a year of birth of 1794. Sarah's death registration gives her a date of death of 26 Jul 1872 and if she was baptized 27 Jan 1795 then she would have been 77 years of age and in her 78th year. If baptized 10 Nov 1793 then 26 Jul 1872 she would have been 79 years of age.
One of the witnesses on the marriage registration was William Cheatle. Sarah at her marriage to William Cheatle 24 Aug 1818 would have been 23 years of age if born in 1795. All of the census have her born circa 1796. Two out of four have her born at Ashby de la Zouch. There isn't a marriage at Ashby de la Zouch for William and Sarah Cheatle.
I then investigated marriages in the area around Ashby de la Zouch for William Cheatle and Sarah (unknown). At the time I was doing this investigation eight years ago Find My Past was in its infancy but now searching on this database I am finding:
William Cheatle 21 (b c 1754) a widower married 11 Aug 1775 at Sutton Coldfield (his home parish was Loughborough Leicestershire) and Sarah Bonell 21 years of age and a widow of Sutton Coldfield Warwickshire.
William Cheatle married Sarah Woodcock at Castle Donnington 23 Feb 1773. Apprenticeship records show that this William (or another William Cheatle) is a master tailor at Castle Donnington (1775, 1776, 1778, 1794). The question is does this eliminate this couple as the parents of Sarah finding that he is still a master tailor at Castle Donnington in 1794? How likely was he to have moved? Plus the Sarah Cheatle buried at Ashby de la Zouch in 1793 is not likely to be their daughter Sarah which was my thinking pattern towards the possibility of their baptizing a second daughter Sarah at Ashby de la Zouch. I rather think that this pattern of thought ends with this new data.
What of the William Cheatle of Loughborough marrying Sarah Bonell in 1775? They would then have been in their 40s when Sarah was baptized in 1795 at Ashby de la Zouch. Cheatle is a very uncommon name and not finding a solution to William and Sarah baptizing a daughter Sarah in 1795 leaves me with a very solid brickwall for this family. Autosomal DNA has also been brought into play as I have an autosomal match with the Adcock family of Leicestershire and there was a William Cheatle baptized 7 Jan 1752 at All Saints Loughborough likely the son of William Cheatle and Elizabeth Adcock. Interestingly enough there is a William Cheatle marrying Sarah Bonell and he was of Loughborough. Is this the correct person as father of Sarah? He has possible features - married to Sarah but would they still be having children in the mid 1790s? The autosomal DNA is interesting. I have the parish registers for Loughborough and have not yet investigated them.
William Cheatle married Elizabeth Adcock 29 Mar 1749 at All Saints Loughborough

Finding these two burials rather sets that this line does not come down to my Sarah Cheatle baptized at Ashby de la Zouch circa 1795.
I will though continue to check the Loughborough registers between 1793 to 1797 out of curiosity to see if I find a Sarah Cheatle. No sign of a Sarah Cheatle in these parish registers between these dates.
The Leicestershire parish records will be online over the next year or so and that may help to answer my question about the parents of Sarah Cheatle baptized 1795 at Ashby de la Zouch.
The first genealogy conference that I ever attended as a participant was back in 2003 and I remember sitting with my husband at a table for one of the luncheons and someone he knew joined us. This person, one of the speakers I think, said that in 10 to 15 years everything would be online. It is slowly coming to fruition.
