Thanks guys. Do you think this Harriett Scarr could be the same one mentioned in the 1861 census as the daughter of Jas and Elizabeth Scar in Great Shelford? The dates don't completely match (one is born in abt 1845 and the other is born around 1850) but I know that census ages are notoriously bad. Though a 5 year gap does seem unusually big.

She is possibly the daughter of Robert & Mary (born 1849)
RG9/1022 f7 p7

but to be sure you are following the right families you really need a birth certificate for one of the children and then probably the marriage.
