I once had a thread about this lady a year or two ago (probably on Genes Reunited). Due to that thread, I bought a marriage cert for Eliza Smith & Benjamin Bailey (see above possible 1851 census). This marriage took place on the 15th May 1849 at Christ Church, West Bromwich. Ages given as major for both and both were widowed. Father for Eliza was Richard Hales, farmer. Benjamin was a miner on this cert.

I do think that that this Eliza is Harriet's mother, though I still dont know who Mr Smith was (maybe Benjamin is Harriet's father and she was illegitimately born before the marriage?).

I have tried to find mother Eliza and the other Smith children on the 41 census with no joy yet.
