Re the 1851 Census, the Glos FHS version gives a little more detail as below. The whole County Census only shows two Mary Whitehouses, one of which is clearly not ours, leaving;

1974 1851 CENSUS HO107/1974 FF.0437 - 0460 ED.6F TEWKESBURY 3
Piece: 1974 Folio: 0445 Schedule: 042
Address: St.Marys Lane, Church
WHITEHOUSE Thomas HD M 37 Coal Merchant Employ 4 M STS - (c1814)
WHITEHOUSE Ann WI M 37 Coal Merchant's Wife GLS Tewkesbury (c1814)
WHITEHOUSE Mary DA U 18 - GLS Tewkesbury (c1833)
WHITEHOUSE Sarah DA U 15 - GLS Tewkesbury (c1836)
WHITEHOUSE Rose DA - 5 Day Scholar GLS Tewkesbury (c1846)
WHITEHOUSE Emma DA - 3 Day School GLS Tewkesbury (c1848)
WHITEHOUSE Fanny DA - 4M - GLS Tewkesbury (c1850)

I see the coal business appeared in other thread posts too, presumably this would have involved watermen to move it in bulk ?

Another 1851 Household which ties in with MPG's post re Jacob;

1960 1851 CENSUS HO107/1960 FF.0277-0302 ED.1B REDMARLEY 1
Piece: 1960 Folio: 0292 Schedule: 079
Address: Ryland
WOODWARD Charles HD M 63 Boatman STS Winell[?] (c1788)
WOODWARD Cathrine WI M 63 - STS Wolverhampton (c1788)
WOODWARD Charles SO U 23 Boatman HEF Ledbury (c1828)
SADLER Charles GS - 6 - GLS Dymock (c1845)
SADLER Edwin GS - 3 - GLS Dymock (c1848)
WHITEHOUSE Jacob GS - 3 - HEF Hereford (c1848)
SADLER Eliza VR - 23 - GLS Dymock (c1828)
SADLER Richard VR - 1 VR's Son GLS Dymock (c1850)

So a household of Staffs then Hfds watermen, including a young grandson Jacob Whitehouse.

He becomes a Boatman himself not surprisingly, and his father is a Richard Whitehouse, Boatman, perhaps born c1840s.
