Carter Ellen Charlotte St. George S. 1d 170

not sure if this is correct now as her inital is E in other census's

You're welcome :-)

Thanks for all your help still not found but its hard when you want a maiden name.

In 1861 he was in Westminster. I think in free BMD there is a marriage for his name and an Elizabeth in Westminster.

If you cannot narrow it down as they were both born different parts of the country and then living in London you may have to buy one of the childrens birth certs to find it

And in 1861 there is an Elizabeth Green born Enham, Hampshire, age 21.

Wow you are so good Thanks for all your help you deserve a medal

I have not heard of Enham :-)

And I still used to prefer searching the big books of indexes at the (since closed) Family Records Centre in London, turning the pages, one by one then eureka found him / her / them! to doing it on the internet.

No I have not heard of it lol x

Try Knights Enham

????
Enham Alamein is a village and civil parish about 2½ miles north of Andover in the north of Hampshire, England. It was named "Knight's Enham" until 1945.
About a kilometre south along the A343 road from the current site of Enham Alamein is the dein of Knight's Enham. This is a small collection of 3 or 4 houses and a 12th century church. It is currently (2009) on the north edge of the suburban spread of Andover.
Enham Alamein and Upper Enham are the south and north ends of a village which is a little over a kilometer long
From Wikipedia

The census details are from the ancestry site - well worth subscribing to it if one can afford it - in 1901 they have a sister-in-law Henrietta Green with them - looks promising :-)
