It is all beginning to come together for me thanks to your and others help.

Had you noticed that the GRO collators have entered the birth of Samuel under both James and Preest. Using Free BMD, the original records for Samuels birth they also support the suggestion of a multiple birth by MRSBRUSO. For the entry under the PREEST name which follows that of Samuel Preest the consecutive entry is for a Sarah Preest.
So, my understanding is that for the family line of Samuel James it begins with him in 1841 and any other search will be down the Preest line.
It is interesting that Hannah who obviously used her James name to marry Samuel Roberts, kept Samuel 1841 informed of his parentage for him to recognise it at his 1859 marriage. Hannah seems to have had a thing about the name Samuel.
