Hi
I have looked at the 1871 census but Judith was already a widow, narrows your search a bit.

Here are the details from the 1871 census

address 6 Smith Street

Judith Porter, head, widow, age 56, grocer born Guernsey St Peter Port
Richard Porter, son, age 15, scholar, born Guernsey St Peter Port

they also had a servant and a lodger living with them

RG10/5765
ed 1b folio 165 page 8
civil parish of St Peter Port
