Havard look-up?

[Whenu]

Hi all, I've just started looking up the family history and have got as far as a marriage in Sydney, Australia between a John Joyce and Abigail Havard in 1874.
I've managed to trace the Joyce line back to the early 1800's in England.
I am stuck at Abigail Havard and wondering if someone can do a look-up in the mid 1800's census' please. i don't have an age for her to go on but a census from1851 and 1861 should be a good start.
Just found in the Australian Shipping records for 1872 on the "La Hogue", Abigail Havard aged 19
Also found the Welsh census for 1861, an entry for Abigail Havard, aged 7, in Milford, Haverfordwest.
 
Many thanks,

This is the only one between 1840/60 so it looks like your 1861 may be the right one.
Trying to trace them before this is proving difficult.
