Dearing help please! UPDATE

[JAP]

...   In 1861 her son John Harrison is with the Jennings household as 'brother' - but it is not clear to who!

Hazel, what is the reference for this census entry please?

Incidentally, there are a couple of deaths which might be possible for "Dearing":
Dinah MOORE, death, Mar 1863, Stepney
Dinah MOORE, death, Dec 1864, Shoreditch.

Here are some interesting entries from the IGI:

27 Apr 1841, St Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London
Samuel HARRISON married Diana ROGERS or WADLEY

Parents William ROGERS & Diana
Given the dates, these are probably/possibly two different sets of parents - but Richard ROGERS b 1836 certainly fits with Diana HARRISON in the 1841 ...
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a George ...

St Mary-St Marylebone Road, Saint Marylebone, London
Elizabeth ROGERS b 18 Dec 1823, bap 14 Jan 1824

St Andrew, Holborn, London
William ROGERS b 29 Jun, bap 30 Aug 1826

All Souls, Saint Marylebone, London
John ROGERS, b 28 Mar, bap 12 May 1833
Richard ROGERS, b 2 Feb, bap 28 Feb 1836

PS (added later after thinking about it!): The IGI has a Diana WADLEY born 1799 in Middlesex but she would be too old for "Dearing" as,  in the 1861 (age given as 40), "Dearing" has a 5yo and a 1yo.  Perhaps we are following up some red herrings?
Perhaps Diana WADLEY, b 1799, married William ROGERS and had various children with him.  He died and Diana WADLEY/ROGERS married Samuel HARRISON.  Her age (rounded down to the nearest 5) of 35 in 1841 fits quite well - OK, it should be 40 but perhaps she said it was 39 and that would be rounded down to 35.
Perhaps the Diana HARRISON who married Thomas MOORE is a completely different Diana HARRISON.  Her age is given as 29 in 1851 and 40 in 1861; she has 5yo and a 1yo in 1861.

Hi Jap

Wow, what a lot of 'ferretting' you've done! I have come to the conclusion that only Thomas' Birth will give us the answer, as Diana's ages are too different in the various Censuses to be logically the same person.  Can't wait for it to arrive now!!

Thanks for your input.

 CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY HELPERS!!!!!

I have just got Thomas's Birth Cert. - 8th Jan.1860. 
Mother: Dinah Moore formerly HARRISON!!!  (Special thanks to ArranRoots for suggesting that Marriage!)

I am now busy collating all the information you put up on here - thank you all once again.  I shall chase Dinah to her roots!  I wonder where the Dearing came from?!!

Cheers, Hazel
