I think the Middlesex connection is probably correct as in 1871 there is William James Fisher, aged 4, born in Heston which is a contiguous parish to Harlington Middlesex. His parents are Henry aged 34 (so b about 1837) an born in Heston and Betsy aged 32, born Dreyton, Middlesex.

Henry Fisher married Betsey Reynolds (mmn from WJF's birth reg) 28 Nov 1858 at West Drayton. At the marriage Henry says his father is also Henry Fisher, both labourers.

Hopefully the two Henry's may be together in 1851.

There is a family in Heston in 1851 who could be the right people, though the name Fisher is pretty common so you might want to investigate further to be sure (buy the relevent certs etc)

Henry Fisher head m 44 brick field labourer b Berks Wantage
Sarah Fisher wife m 43 b Middlesex Westminster
James Fisher son unm 21 labourer b Heston
John Fisher son unm 19 labourer b Southall
Henry Fisher son unm 17 labourer b Southall
Lideah Fisher dau 9 b Southall
Sarah Fisher dau 6 b Southall
James Bignold lodger unm 23 Brisk field labourer b Bucks Missenden

Have you found a similar family in the other Harlington?
