It seems possible that the mothers name in 1795 is wrong. It would not be the first time - depends on how good the record keeper was, and his state of mind at the time. It might have been scribbled on a bit of paper (maybe without a mothers name, or it was hard to read) and he just guessed?
Does the burial say how old Sarah was?
Familysearch shows a baptism for Sarah Philpott in North Nibley (which is only a stone's throw from Berkeley) in 1753, but I thought she might be a bit old.
There's also one in Bath in 1762 and another two in Minchinhampton, a few miles further north, in 1761 and 1763. There are three baptisms in Wiltshire, not really near Chippenham but they are all in the 1750s.
The marriage records says Sarah was of Tytherton Lucas, in the parish of Chippenham, she might have been working there, but born elsewhere.
