Also in 1851, there was an Elizabeth Ashhurst aged 22, sister of Anna Phillips at the former’s house of Waterstock House, Waterstock, Oxon.  So I presume she was another daughter of Thomas Duffield and perhaps by the first marriage?

DNB Main notes for Thomas Duffield
A reported Obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine, July 1854, pp. 82-83, reads (in part): THOMAS DUFFIELD, Esq. / March 15. At the Castle Priory, Wallingford, aged 72, Thomas Duffield, esq. High Steward of that borough, and a magistrate of Berkshire. / He was the second son of Michael Duffield, esq. by Alice, daughter and heiress of Jeremiah Crutchley, esq. His elder brother George-Henry exchanged the name of Duffield for that of Crutchley in 1806. / Mr. Duffield served the office of Sheriff of Berkshire in 1827. / In 1832 he was a candidate for Abingdon, as a Conservative politician, and, in spite of the Reform Act then coming into operation, he defeated the former Whig member Colonel Maberly, who had represented the borough from 1818. ... / Mr. Duffield was twice married: first, in 1810, to Emily, only child of George Elwes, esq. of Marcham Park, Berks; and secondly, in 1838, to Augusta-Elizabeth, second daughter of Robert Rushbrooke, esq. M.P. for the Western Division of Suffolk. By the former lady he had issue three sons, George who died in 1833, Henry, and Charles; and five daughters: 1. Caroline, married to Edwin Martin Atkins, esq. of Kingston Lisle, Berks; 2. Maria, married to Head Pottinger Best, esq.; 3. Anna, married to John S Phillips, esq. of Culham, co. Oxford; 4. Susan, who died in 1841; and 5. Elizabeth. By the second marriage he had further issue, one son, Thomas; and two daughters, Augusta and Mary.
