Is this the family in 1911? If so Catherine's DOB and place of birth are different. She had been married 34 years and had 10 children in all [ 2 dead by 1911].

In the 1861 census Katherine's mother is named as Anna rather than Amy but I think it is the same person as the birthplace is the same.

You will have to be careful about Robert's parents as on the 1851 census there are three Robert Harpers born Fressingfield. One a bit earlier in c.1828 but the other two are born only a year apart. The one with parent's Charles and Lydia and the other with a mother called Maria.
