He died on November 6, 1819 (not in 1821). Some time ago, I found his obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine: see here. See also for the correct date (1819) Meyers Schachlexikon, p. 235 and other modern sources like this weblink. According to Google book search, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives also 1819 ("Sarratt died, after a long illness, in 1819."). --DaQuirin (talk) 12:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The exact date was not known for a long time (the date 1821 probably had to do with the reedition of Sarratt's Treatise which probably was more like "Sarratt/Lewis"). It seems that the authors of the The Oxford Companion to Chess found the mentioned 1819 obituary (first) and since then the matter should be settled. --DaQuirin (talk) 15:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
