1871 Census Brown Household

No information has been located from the 1871, that is relevant to the Brown family.  In 1871 family would be Richard (c 39), Harriet (c 35), Walter Henry (c12), Frederick (c 5) and if the 1881 census below is correct Martin (c 11) and Kate (c 1).   Latest on this is as follows:
Schedule Type Household
Registration District Poplar
Sub-District Poplar
Parish Poplar
County London, Middlesex
Father Richard W Brown, age 32, born Hampshire
Mother Francis Brown, age 35, born Herefordshire
Son  Walter H Brown, age 13, born Herefordshire
Son Horace Brown, age 6, born Herefordshire
Son Frederick Brown, age 4, born Herefordshire
Dau Kate Brown, age under 1, born Poplar
This information from Familysearch.org has some odd information and requires further investigation.

1881 Brown Information
There are details for a Harriet Brown and a Robert Brown in the 1881 Census.  Not able to locate anything for Harriet and Richard Brown that has relevant information.  However there is information on a Robert and Harriet Brown that could be the right family.  However the discrepancies are substantial (head’s name, head’s birth place and son Martin.  Walter Henry would be c23 if recorded in census.
