I did wonder if maybe Sarah had previously married a Hunt and he'd died, although she was young when she married Joseph Homer. The marriage entry stated she was a spinster, but maybe it was a mistake.

Aha!
FreeREG has the transcription of a marriage 27 Oct 1867 at St Andrew, Netherton, Worcestershire: Joseph Hunt, full age, bachelor, puddler, residence Netherton, and Sarah Brooks, full age, spinster, residence Netherton, father Edward Brooks miner, witnesses Samuel Heywood and Sarah Ann Heywood.

Your Sarah would definitely not have been "full age" in 1867 but the rest fits.

Oh, I should add that the groom's father is down as William Gill, labourer - we might need that info to try to figure out what happened to Joseph Hunt.
