HOPE

William HOPE - age 55, Carpenter - all family born in County
Elizabeth - 50
William - 15
Lydia - 11 (on the 1851 census), Glos. St Catherine age 21,born
Westbury on Severn - working as a Servant at the home of Joseph Sims, - Builder and Timber Merchant). FreeBDM - Marriage for a Lydia HOPE, Bristol 1852 J/F/M Qtr - Church of LDS, married Thomas SPENCER, 4 February 1852, Saint Nicholas, Gloucester
Hannah - 9

1851 Census, Glos St Nicholas (an interesting census return)
Carters Yard

Elizabeth HOPE - Nurse, Rec. Parochial Relief, Widow age 60, born Westbury on Severn
Mary Ann BARNES, 23, Visitor, unmarried 23 - paperbag maker, born Glos. Stroud
Alfred DALBY (child at nurse) age 6 months, born Glos.
Jane DAVEY, Visitor, unmarried 19, Dressmaker, born Glos
?Alfred is possibly Jane's child.

On the 1861 Census, 52 Westgate Street, Glos. St Nicholas, Elizabeth HOPE is aged 73, c 1788 born Westbury, Glos, and lodging with a Thos. J Banks, wife (Leather Seller)

I've looked (as best I could) at the Gloucestershire Baptism Index 1813-1837 for HOPE or even HOPES - no children of a William & Elizabeth.

Gloucestershire Marriage Index 1800-1837, only found William HOPE, St Catherine St John the Baptist married Elizabeth HARRIS (wid) 23 December 1830 Banns (Lydia was in St Catherine 1851 census)

It is more than possible, William HOPE was married before.... as if you use the advanced search of the FOD records, we have this at Ross-on-Wye

Children of William & Sarah (who is listed either as a Carpenter/Joiner/Inn holder/Ale Seller)

William 17 August 1814
Sarah - ditto
Mary - 12 May 1816
John - 8 May 1818
Susanna - 6 December 1819
Ann - 21 September 1821
William - 4 June 1823 (on the 1851 census, in Kingswood, William HOPE is age 27 c 1824)
Thomas - 3 December 1824

so I think Lydia (c1830) and Hannah are from his second marriage.

Marriage on LDS - William HOPE married Sarah TRUPP 7 December 1813, Ross on Wye also on FOD records.
