Stuck on searching for Child history - James Jupp

[manningnfawcett]

I have been doing my tree for years now and have hit a confusing problem.
My 2x Great Grandfather was James Jupp born 4 July 1863 Horsham
His mother my 3x great grandmother called Harriett Jupp born 1847 Horsham
Father is not on the birth certificate of James Jupp.
Harriett was a Servant for most of her life from a young age of 13.
James was born why Harriett was in service, I can not find James at all on the census of 1871.
James is not with his grandparents.
So I'm at a lost of what happened to poor James.
Can anyone help me please.

First guess: he had been fostered and was recorded with the foster parents surname.
Did the mother have any married sisters perhaps? I have certainly known census entries for step children in the step father's name despite them using their father's name in later life.

Researching side branches to SWMBO's main tree has thrown up  several cases of children being "redistributed" around the extended family.

Marriage in Hunston, 23 January 1864, of Harriett Jupp to James Harmer

A daughter Frances Harmer (mother Jupp) registered in March 1865, Westhampnett.

If we are looking at Hunston, rather than Horsham, this might be a possibility for Harriet in 1851. Parents William + Frances

If this is your James Jupp in Ashford, Kent, in 1891, he has a Thomas Harmer, 19, Sawyer, born Maidstone, as a lodger

Could this be him in Kent in 1881, as Harmer?
James Harmer, 18, Sawyer, born Sussex Chichester
Nephew to George Harmer
