Sarah Ann OXLEY (nee TOWNEND) was one of my Great Grandmothers.
This OXLEY family came from the Crofton area (just east of Wakefield) in the West Riding of Yorkshire (WRY).
I have transcribed some extracts from the Crofton Bishop's Transcripts which contribute to this Family History.
Sarah's ancestry currently shapes up as follows:
Richard OXLEY (1765-1833) married Hannah ??(1773-1853).
Their children were:

Joseph Oxley married Sarah Ann TOWNEND (1821-1889) in Wakefield on 12 May 1840.
The original records showed the surname of Joseph's father to be CROSLEY and the St Catherine's index also carries this mistake.
It took 9 years for this entry to be corrected to OXLEY (thanks to Neil Precious for this detective work!).
Their children were:
