Just in case, beware that it looks like there were two ladies named Clementina Sheepwash. They had different middle names apparently.

Jill, I reckon she's the 1844 Clementina Susanna as the baptism info ties in with the 1876 marriage.

I can't spot her in the 1851.

Can't really say for definite if this is the same chap that married Clementina, but it certainly seems so.

I think you are right MC (waving at you). It's going to be important for Mary to double check anything she comes across for the right middle name - ie Susanna(h).
