Indeed he was - High Street East, Olney, 1851 census Samuel WARD aged 6 born Olney son of Henry WARD age 47 b Stagsden BDF, Dealer Eliza WARD age 43 b Mears Ashby NTH 4 other children age 5 to 16 b Olney, Niece Elizabeth GILLET 5m b Piddington NTH plus some other possible children about the place, e.g. Henry age 17 apprentice to Richard SOUL, Grocer. Only Ann STOCKLEY I see was aged 20, servant to the John TYRWHITT-DRAKE, Rector of Amersham. Maybe she wasn't born yet? Might be worth you investing in the BFHS 1851 census transcription, and the BGS 1861 census transcription out soon.
