the reference for Isaac in 1851 is HO107/2448 folio 753 pg 1. I wasn't having any success finding his parents in 1851 so I checked the bmds and found Charles' death in 1845 1Q Pontypool vol 26 pg 103.
Maria remarries the following year 3Q 1846 vol 26 pg 179 Pontypool with 4 possibilities for her spouse on that page. I was working through eliminating the choices and had settled on George Belsher as her man, when I realised she was actually staying with Isaac at the time of the census!
She is recorded as Mariah Belsha visitor 48 b. Dorset, Motcombe, but she's also with her husband
HO107/2449 folio 338 pg 36 Abersychan
George Belcher head mar 36 iron miner b. Gloucestershire
Maria wife 40 b. Dorset
Interesting difference in ages - wonder if she didn't tell her toy-boy the truth!
After that, I had a look at Motcombe on the Genuki site and saw that there is an online parish clerk who has a website with parish records. In the marriages, there is Charles Foot marrying Maria Brickell October 26th, 1825. No sign of baptisms for any of their children. Brickell seems a common name locally and there's a few possibilities for Maria's birth. Perhaps you could contact the OPC for more info on the marriage as her father's name might be on the original record.
The other son, Charles, gives Weston-super-Mare as his place of birth on the 1851 census HO107/2452 folio 453 pg 11. I haven't found Ellen yet on the 1851 to see where she was born - it might help with Isaac. He stated Trinity in 1851, but this isn't a parish as far as I can see.
Sarah's baptism is on the IGI - 29/3/1840 daughter of Charles and Mariah at Trevethin(correct spelling - I can never remember and got it wrong all through previous post). Monmouthshire comes under England for the IGI.
