The 1851 census for Kings Nympton gives 6-year-old Mary Harris, daughter of Henry and Sarah. At first sight, this seems too old for the Mary Harris of later censuses. But a careful reading of the list of children, comparing age, birthplace and order on the list, shows that the age given for Mary is almost certainly wrong. She was 6 months old, not 6 years.

I'll send you separately a lot more stuff about on her ancestors.

Best wishes,
