Not found them in 1841 yet, but I have found some baptisms on FamilySearch: Emma Louisa Fisher baptised 7 Aug 1836 St Mary's, Portsea, parents James and Jane. Elizabeth Ann Fisher baptised 8 Oct 1837, same place, same parents. There is also a James Fisher baptised 25 Aug 1839, same place, same parents. I can't see a death for James jr before 1842, so I would think he should be on the 1841 as well.
I can't find them, Elizabeth

Thanks for looking, all of you. I wondered if FMP had mistranscribed them.
Kiterunner, I had found the baptisms too, and also James.
I believe the mother is Jane Buckle, who married Robert Walter Smith in 1826. I have 3 children for them:
Jane Sophia Smith bapt. 23 Oct 1827
Ellen Elizabeth Smith bapt. 7 Oct 1828
and
Robert Walter Smith bapt. 4 Sept 1831
all at St John's Portsea.
I think that Robert Walter Smith senior died and then Jane married James Fisher on 28 April 1835 at St Thomas Portsmouth.
I can't find the three Smith children on the 1841 census either -
I believe Robert Smith on the 1851 census that I posted is the Robert Walter Smith born c. 1831.
This Robert Walter Smith could belong to our new member Peggy.
He may have married as follows:
Groom's Name: Robert Walter Smith
Bride's Name: Elizabeth Sarah Sharp
Marriage Date: 01 Sep 1852
Marriage Place: Saint Marys,Portsea,Hampshire,England
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M06261-3
System Origin: England-ODM
Source Film Number: 919755
Reference Number:
Collection: England Marriages, 1538-1973
If this is our man, he left for New Zealand c. 1852.
