Hope you don't mind, I had a bit more of a look at the Herefordshire censuses (censii?  )
1851 Census: Much Dewchurch, Kents Common
Thomas WATKINS H M 43 Slater & plaster/ master 1 lab Heref Much Birch
Isabella WATKINS W M 42 America
Thomas WATKINS S Un 15 Learning his fathers trade Heref Much Birch
Isabella WATKINS D Un 12 Heref Much Birch
Albert Williams WATKINS S U 9 Heref Much Birch
George ANDREWS Boarder U 16 Ag Lab Heref Little Dewchurch
1871 Census: Henry Street, Ross
Thomas WATKINS H M 56 Plasterer Heref Much Birch
Isabel WATKINS W M 55 India (British Subject)
James WATKINS S U 18 Plasterer Heref Much Dewchurch
Herbert WATKINS Gson U 2 Heref Hereford
Emma SIMMONDS Serv U 12 Gen Serv Heref Brampton Abbots
1891 Census: Henry Street, Ross
Thomas WATKINS H M 78 Plasterer Heref Much Birch
Isabella WATKINS W M 78 West Indies
James WATKINS S Un 39 Plasterer Heref Much Dewchurch
Herbert WATKINS Gson Un 22 Clerk Heref Hereford

On neither the 1871 or 1891 census was Herbert listed as a cripple, or indeed having any ailments/conditions.
Hope that helps
Best wishes

1901 Census: Almshouse, Ross

1841 Census, Much Birch.
Living alone, Barracks? Much Marcle.
William Gunter age 75 (1766) stone mason not born in county
nearby Birch common
Joseph Gunter age 35, stone mason, born Foriegn parts
Elizabeth age 33, born in county, as are the children
Mary 14
Richard 9
Thomas 5
Sophia 6 months
also a younger brother? Benjamin Gunter age 25, mason, not born in county
so William was a stone mason in the west Indies, and Benjamin seems to have been born in the UK, so the family returned before 1814-15
There are Watkins and Gunters here in the Church records for Much Birch

I did reply, but it seems to have been lost in the ether..........
The short version of the post was that on the 1881 census, Joseph Gunter is entered as having been born "on board the Allenhope" West Indies.
I presume the Allenhope to be a ship, so perhaps there would be a passenger register with addresses etc?
