Default Where is Rebecca in 1851?

Rebecca Newman marries John Miller at St Giles Cripplegate in 1802:

One of the witnesses is John Fray.


John (a bricklayer) and Rebecca have two children: Ann Jane and John Fray.


Here is Ann Jane's baptism on 31 Agust 1806:

Something catastrophic happens and John disappears from the scene.


Here are the children, being discharged from the workhouse into the care of their mother on 21 August 1813:

I'm not sure what happens to John Fray Miller, but Rebecca takes Ann Jane with her down to Portsmouth and marries William Polling 13 June 1814 in St Marys, Portsea:

In 1841 she is living in Pye Row, Portsea, next door to her daughter, aged 50 and not born in county:

Rebecca dies 21 December 1859 and is buried on Christmas Eve, widow of Pye Street aged 82:

So where is she in 1851? If not in Pye Street, where? She has a year of birth somewhere between 1777 and 1790 and she could, of course, be staying with son John or any other relation.
