I think I just unraveled this mess.Henry Webster was born abt 1811 to Thomas Webster.Different census records list place as Bristol or Worcester.He was a Bricklayer by trade and married Rachel Parson on April 17, 1831 in Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire.They had 6 children (there daughter Mary Ann is my link).Rachel died early 1844 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire and Henry remarried Sophia Badsworth on Oct 13, 1845 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.They had at least nine children, your Caroline being the second.The 1851 UK census has two of his children from his first marriage living with him and Sophia, while two other children were living with other relatives. Caroline was born in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in 1848 and is listed in the 1851 and 1861 UK census there.I believe Henry died in 1871 in Leighton Buzzard.
