Sadie is an old pet form of Sarah, so look for the same person under Sarah as well.
Sadie is a pet form of Sarah that also became a popular given name in its own right during the 1800s, so a Sadie may have been named Sadie at birth.
The same woman can be Sarah in one record and Sadie in the next, for example a birth under one name and a marriage under the other. Match age, place and relatives before you join the two.
