In the 1851 census I think they were at differing addresses:
William (67) living with his daughter & son in law Thereza & Thomas Harrell at Hartham, Hertford. I think William was born in 1783 in Stanstead Abbots
Jane was a nurse (55) to the Medcalf family at Rail Terrace in Hertford. I think Jane (Lambert) was actually born in 1790 in Ware. Jane was down as a widow in the 1861 census living with daughter Thereza!
Which makes me think I have the right family!
They had another daughter Sarah born in 1806 - who married William Bateman in 1835 and were living at Sam's Yard in Ware in 1851 - don't suppose by any chance mum & dad were living with them?!
Anything to tie this lot together would help!

That must be my William - asleep on a Barge - sounds like a for-runner of the Batemans!!
Looks like Thirza took it in turns to live with one of them - wonder when they all met up!

James Heard married Sarah Ann Scruby (which is a new name!) - 3 months before the 1841 census - she had 3 siblings: Stephen TABRAM Scruby; Joseph LAMBERT Scruby; William WHEELER Scruby - all those middle names are already on my tree.
Talk about joining everyone up - my lot seem to own this part of the county!
I am very pleased - honest!!
