I just wanted to say a very big thank you to jjen, giggsycat and Act61 for all your help.  I think you have solved my puzzle.  Genius finding the family under Body.
Thank you so much

Please help me find my ancestor.  Her birth was registered in March Q 1861 in Stroud, Gloucester which covers the Stonehouse area..  The name given was Hannah Abia Rodway but no mothers maiden name was given - so its possible she was unmarried.  Census returns after 1881 state consistently she was born in Stonehouse, Gloucester.  Her name changes from Hannah, Anne and Annie - which are obvious changes to the original name of Hannah.  I have found her marriage to Henry Darke - and census returns after 1881.  Interestingly, her  first four children were registered as Darke with the mothers maiden name of Rodway but her  final 7 children were registered as Darke but the mothers maiden name was given as Turk !  The 1911 census suggests a long marriage with Henry Darke - and it ties in with the marriage to Henry Darke.   If anyone has access to 1861 and 1871 census - I would be interested to find out about her birth family.
Many thanks - its puzzling me !

Thank you again

Thank you for trying to help Giggsy,
According to the marriage certificate of Mary Parrott her father was called James.  The later census returns (when she was married to John Redhead) state she was born in Sevenoaks in Kent circa 1842.   The GRO ref suggests she was born in 1841 in Sevenoaks. 
I have hit a brick wall - although I was able to find her siblings by using GRO and referencing the mothers maiden name of Everest.  It is of course possible that her father normally used the name Samuel - but used his correct name of james on the wedding certificate .
