On the 1861 census there's Harriett Smith aged 16 with her grandmother, Jane Barber.

https://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bi...try&h=20745666

I saw this:

Marriages Dec 1843
Allen Ann Worcester 18 622
Barber Caroline Worcester 18 622 <<<<<<<<<<<<
Smith George Worcester 18 622 <<<<<<<<<<<<
WILKINS Robert Worcester 18 622

and wondered if they were her parents. (its all a bit tight for the ages as granny Jane was b 1809 according to the 1861 census)

Then I looked at the birth reg for Harriet and saw mmn could potentially be Barber if the writing was bad! (straws??)

SMITH, HARRIETT BARKES
GRO Reference: 1844 S Quarter in WORCESTER UNION Volume 18 Page 515

Then the cat sat on my laptop and closed all my tabs. I had looked for George/Caroline and Harriet in 1851 and not found anything and found granny Jane with her husband James Barber in 1851 which didn't help particularly either.
