The original inscription on the family vault (it was replaced) read
Also Mrs Ursula Sarah Wife of the above Mr. Geo. Engleheart, died 16th October, 1817, in the 57th year of her age.
Note that you would not expect the inscription to read "the above Mr. Geo. Engleheart" since George Engleheart did not die until after his wife Ursula, however he is already previously mentioned in the inscriptions as his first wife (and Ursula's sister) was buried in the vault:
Also Mrs Elizabeth Wife of Mr. George Engleheart, died 29 April 1779, in the 26th year of her age.
In the obituaries section of "The Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 122" in 1817 there was a brief obituary "Oct. 16 At Bedfont Lodge, Middlesex, Ursula Sarah, wife of George Engleheart, esq.".
