Michael Harris ,a tailor by profession
1841 Westminster St Paul Convent Garden
Michael Harris aged 40 occ tailor
Mary 30
John 10
Mary 8
Thomas 5 born 03/12/1835 bapt 20/12/1835 St Giles in the Fields Holborn of White Lion St
James 3
William 5 months born 29/11/1840 bapt 20/12/1840 st Giles in Fields Holborn, of 58 Compton St
I have searched for baptisms for the above remaining 3 children but no joy so far
Jane Adelaide born 28/05/1843 bapt 17/06/1843 St Pancras of Warren St
All above showing parents Michael and Mary Harris
Eliza born 29/11/1845 bapt 14/12/1845 St Anne Westminster of Meads Court parents Michael and Martha
I am particularly interested in Eliza who on 1881 is aged 31 and married to William Dawson (10/06/1872). She should be shown as nearer to 36 but William Dawson was born circa 1851 so he is about 6 years younger.
I cannot find Michael and his family on any other census after 1841, he is shown as occupation tailor throughout all records found so far
Eliza’s marriage and her sister Jane's do not show father “dec’d “ on their marriage certs, 1868 and 1872
Any help with this family would be much appreciated

Many thanks for your help
I have been beavering away at this family, can't understand why I can't find more of them together as a family on census, also mother Martha for Eliza, wonder if the incumbent made a mistake
I did try to look Mother maiden name on ONS for the ones born during registration, only found a William Dec qtr 1840 ref 01 57, didn't much like the MMN and I think it is a miss transcription.
