I was wondering whether "Leighton, Suffolk" on the 1851 was supposed to be Leiston, but I see there is a Harriet Smith christened 5 April 1814 at Layham, parents Edward Smith and Elizabeth Crisp. Layham is nearer to Essex than Leiston is, and one of your Harriet's children was named Edward...(and one named Eliza, not quite Elizabeth) oh, and the Layham family also had a daughter called Jane, matching another of your Harriet's children.
(Note just in case we need it - Layham is indexed as Laylham on ancestry on the 1841 census!)
