The indexed extract states Abigail Church died at East Farnham on 2 Sep 1837 aged 49, which matches the claimed date and place. The age fits the 1788 birth year. Because it is an index entry with no image, the original notice could not be checked, which keeps confidence at 3. The 'Church' name is given as her name in the extract, so no conflict with the claim arises.
Matches: Name Abigail Church matches; Death date 2 Sep 1837 matches the claim exactly; Place East Farnham matches the claim; Age 49 implies birth about 1788, consistent with the 1788 birth year
Limits: Index extract only; the newspaper page was not viewed; Notice was published 23 Sep 1837, so it is a secondary report of the death, not a death register entry; Age 49 gives a birth year of 1787 or 1788, not an exact date; The gazette's publication details are incomplete (no place or publisher)
