I have to admit that his being a Labourer was what twigged me re the Indentured Worker....but I have been away from Jamaican genealogy for a bit so will ask on the Caribbean group. I don't think I have ever seen one that is British. Usually East Indian or Chinese. Those "politically incorrect" columns are a godsend!!

Most peculiar. Go to TNA's web-site https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/
Look at the horizontal bar near the top of the screen, over to the right is a link 'News' click on that and you should end up here https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/n...tm?source=news
On the left of the sreen click on 'More overseas birth, marriage and death records available online.'

Thomas Hill 15
Fanny Hill 14
Emma Hill 11
Alfred Hill 9
Amos Hill 7
Eleanor Hill 4
Birthplace for all except Eleanor = N (not in county)
Birthplace for Eleanor = F (foreign parts)
Address: Hut by the side of road
Civil parish: St Mary Islington East

County/Island: Middlesex
Registration district: Islington

From the other addresses on the page, it seems to be in the Seven Sisters Road neighbourhood.

Adele, you're a star!!!! Thank you so much for finding them on the 1841, I feel sure that this is the family...not a very salubrious address'hut by side of road'... So they obviously weren't in the West Indies for very long then...hmm...the mystery deepens!

Linda, I don't suppose you've considered the possibility of little Ellen being an 'adopted' child? Or even a foundling they took in? I am just a wee bit concerned about a labourer having the wherewithal to sail out to the Windies and back again in the time scale you have.

Hello Marian, no to be honest I hadn't considered that option, but it is worth thinking about. I have to admit given the time span I did wonder about that myself, and I'm also thinking that if the child before Ellen was born in Sussex in 1835 and then the next one was born in Sussex in 1841 or 43 then it's unlikely that he was posted there as military, unless of course he was discharged on medical grounds.
It's a puzzle!...Linda
