I have on the 1851 HO107/1468/70/46:-
Thomas Forster Head 51 Porter born Hackney Middlesex
Marion Forster Wife 37 born Hampton, Middlesex
Ann Forster Daur 13 born Hampton, Middlesex
Margaret Forster Daur 11 born Hampton, Middlesex
Sophia Forster Daur 7 born Hampton, Middlesex
Harriet Forster Daur 2 born Hampton, Middlesex
There is a lodger as well but he isn't connected.
On the 1861 RG9/16/105/45:-
Thomas Forster Head 62 Servant born Middlesex, Hackney
Marian Forster Wife 48 Governess?? born Middlesex Chiswick
Harriett Forster Dau 5 born Middlesex, Kensington
On the 1871 RG10/30/95/59 :-
Thomas Forster Head 71 Messenger born Hackney
Mary Ann Forster Wife 58 Laundress born Hampton
Harriett Forster Daur 22 Dressmaker born Middlesex, Kensington
Alice Forster Daur 15 Scholar born Middlesex, Kensington
Elizabeth Forster Gran Daur 5 born Middlesex, Kensington
Again there is a lodger, not connected
The discrepancies are:-
Harriet's age in 1861 as 5 when she is 2 in 1851 and 22 in 1871
Alice is 15 in 1871 but is not listed for 1861
Marion, Marian, Mary Ann on successive censuses
Marian's occupation as governess in 1861 (although I am not sure about that, handwriting is poor) then laundress in 1871
Thomas's occupation (although they are all unskilled manual)
I can't tie much in with BMD records, and as this is a side branch I don't really want to spend money on certificates.
It would be great to have a second opinion, just in case I have put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5
