Hi Anne, This maybe your relative. Found in 1861 census:-- Hampshire , St. Helens, District 15, Images 6 and 7 in the hamlet of Oakfilield. [ the page has some awkward marks that partially hide details.] Household 26 (Private House) Charles SALTER age 33 Carter ( labourer ) born Arreton , Hants, Mary " " " wife " Newchurch " Emily 10 " Eliza 8 " Ellen 6 " Thomas 4 " Charles 3 " George H. 6 months " Hope this is useful to you . The names seem to fit and Thomas would only be 4 as his birthday is in June, the census having been taken in April or March 1861. Parent's ages slightly inaccurate compared to your details but I may have read them incorrectly as the blurred marks were over the ages and places of birth.
