Hannah seems to have been baptised 1 July 1837.
Henry and Ann were living in Powerstock but Henry was a Labourer.

As Tamara has asked, please tell us what else you know about Henry. Do you have him in other census?

I have found a Henry Curtney baptised in Powerstock 18 Sep 1796 son of John and Mary.
On 15 Feb 1820 a Henry Courtney married an Ann Partridge in Powerstock. Witnesses: John Partridge and Faney(Fanny?)Courtney.
Is this helpful?

It appears that James also became a Smith. He can be found on the 1851 census RG9/1860/494/2 at Townsend Powerstock

James Courtney b1821 Powerstock smith
Matilda wife b1830 Shorbourne (?)
Matilda daughter age 3 months b1851 Powerstock

There is a marriage of James Courtney in Beaminster Jun qtr 1850 8 9

On the same page is Matilda Minterne.

Am I reading this wrong or maybe my calculator needs new batteries?
There seems to be a discrepancy in the age given for Henry.

1841 - Henry Courteny age 40, Blacksmith living Powerstock

so born 1801.

1851 - Henry b1793 Powerstock blacksmith

Oh! not to worry, tis only 8 years.
