Default Huntingford family 1841 Census?

Harriet Benham married Henry Huntingford in 1833 at Headley, Hampshire.

I can find the family in 1851 and 1861, but not in 1841.

Walter, Henry, Phoebe and Elizabeth were born before the 1841 Census, but I can't find them either.

I'm interested in them as in 1829 there was a warrant for a putative father for the parish of Lurgashall in Sussex where the Benham family lived.

ELIZA BENHAM was baptised 30th August 1829 at All Saint's, Headley, Hampshire. Harriet was the mother, no father given, but it states she was from Lurgashall.

The putative father was a William Stilwell from Linchmere, so this was probably my 3x-great-grandfather!

An Eliza Benham, aged 5, was buried at St Bartholomew's, Haslemere on 21st April 1835, so that could be the daughter.

I was wondering whether she was with the Huntingford family in 1841, but it appears she died before then.

On the 1851 census they have Phoebe 12 and Elizabeth 11 both born Haslemere, Surrey, and Sarah 8 and Thirza 6 both born Thursley, Surrey, so I guess the family should be in Surrey somewhere. There are a few Surrey parishes missing from the 1841 census though.

For reference, so we know what we are searching for, Henry born about 1806 Chiddingfold Surrey and Harriet born about 1805 Headley, Hants.

Thank, Kate. I was going round in circles.

Eliza Benham never passed childhood, unfortunately. I would have been interested to know if William Stilwell had any contact with her.

His first child with his subsequent wife was born out of wedlock, and this child was often referred to as "my wife's child". He is acknowledge as the father in the baptismal record, though!
