Hi Slowhands, yes, it looks like it could be her, doesn't it? I think she must be the same as the Mary Jane MORTIMORE whose marriage Alfred and Elizabeth (MORTIMORE) HARRIS witnessed in 1866. I found her again on the 1861 census, lodging with a family by the name of NEAT at Parkend:

Thomas NEAT. h. 40. Forge man. Buckholt [???] Monmouthshire
Caroline NEAT. w. 40. " " . Blind
[and 5 children]
Jane MORTIMORE. lodger. 22. Whitecroft

If this is indeed her, then by 1861, when father William was living alone in Bristol, both James and {Mary) Jane were living at Parkend. No sign of Ann in 1861, although William still claims to be "married". No sign either of daughters Elizabeth (b. 1844) or Sarah (b. 1842). I've tried as many variants of MORTIMORE/MORTIMER as I can think of, but I'm sure I'm missing some!

Thanks again for the help!
