You wont find Sarah Harborn on the 1851 Census as she wasnt born until 1854.
Or Henry Morris born 1852.

As Henry does not name a Father on his M/C he may have been illegitimate and this is likely him;

HENRY Morris Baptised 31 Oct 1852, Christchurch, West Bromwich, Mother SARAH Morris
(FreeREG)

This may be him in 1861;

Sarah Ann Harborne may just be under initials in 1871 Census, possibly in a Workhouse or with relatives and under another name. Hard to pin her down.

EDIT, sorry I meant 1861 Census!
