Hello Kim,
From the burial records, it would appear that your Henry Prince died in 1844 and Lydia died in 1846 (both burials at Wilton Independent Church).
Also from the 1841 census, Henry was not born in Wiltshire.

From the Family Search Christenings, the most likely candidate for Henry appears to be HENRY born 9/6/1790 son of GEORGE & JUDITH baptised at Lyndhurst Independent Church, Hampshire.
(Lyndhurst and Wilton are only about 15 miles apart).

Looking at George & Judith's children, they are :-
     William baptised 1782 at Blandford Forum Independent
     Henry         "        1785            "           "             "
     Sarah         "        1787

Hello Kim ,
                    sorry continuing....
     Sarah baptised 1787 at Lyndhurst Independent
     George              1789        "                       "
     HENRY         9/6/1790        "                       "
     John                  1792          "                      "
     Mary                   1794          "                     "
     James                 1797          "                     "
     Maria                   1799          "                    "
     John                    1801           "                    "

2 Henrys and 2 Johns suggests that the 1st ones may have died.
 
George was buried back at Blandford Forum Independent in 1822 and Judith also in 1835. (Blandford Forum, Dorset is also only about 15 miles from Wilton). It looks like the family moved from Blandford to Lyndhurst around 1786.
Another interesting point is that LYDIA TIDMAN was also baptised at Wilton Independent Church in 1789.

The whole family were obviously strongly of the Independent Church faith.

All this is pure speculation, of course, and the actual records would need to be checked. I believe the marriage of HENRY and LYDIA in 1815 would have had to have been in the orthodox church at Wilton. If you can check the actual record, it may possibly give Henry's place of origin, but only maybe.
 Hope this helps, Regards, Alan.

Wow alan thats just  , thanks for that. my princes have been unknown to me for, well since i began, because my great grandfather had to change his name by deed poll,(from prince to harding) nothing exciting his mother had remarried and ...... any way with the help of fabulous people like yourself on rootschat the brick wall is now a pile of stone.
i keep under estimating the distances people travelled and also i'm not familier with the area, though being a somerset lass i should!
henry and lydia were married at st mary's in wilton but their children were all baptised at crow lane independant, wilton.i will have to wait til i'm next in england and take a trip to the area
again many thanks for your time and effort. will get checking
cheer
