Between 1852-1858 she had 4 children all born in Cape of Good Hope but was back in Oxfordshire by 1860/61. I don't have her maiden name so impossible to search for her on 1841 UK Census as a girl of 16 or UK Baptism records. How do I find either passenger lists outwards or inwards between these dates?
    I'm afraid the answer is with great difficulty. You could have a read of this thread and try to find the baptisms of the children at the Cape. Esme Bull's book covers 1857-1867, which is a tad late for you, but it does have a couple of annexures at the end with earlier listings. One of these lists a Samuel Jones, aged 23, who sailed to the Cape on the Coromandel, arriving on 4 May 1848, but sadly no further details listed. If Harriet was on the same ship it would be difficult to find her without a maiden name. However, I found the 1861 census entry and there appears to have been a child Charles born in St.Ebbes just before the census. If you get his birth certificate it should give you the maiden name of his mother.
