Notes for Catherine St Leger
There is no sign of her in the 1861 census, not even when dearching for all Catherines, without surname, born in Bath in 1817-1821.
However this does seem to be her and two daughters in 1871; note that Alice was born in Isle of Wight in 1856:

LEIGHTON, Alice Daughter F 15 1856 Isle of Wight
PARKER, Sarah Servant F 29 1842 Isle of Wight

__________________
From a record on the IoW FHS site, there is a birth of an unnamed Leighton, highly probably Caroline, in 1856, Ref R15/P26 and with the mother’s maiden name of St Leger. So this has to be Catherine’s maiden name.
__________________
She also had a son Charles, recorded on the 1881 census and of age 26 and born in Ramsgate, kent, that is in 1854/5. But no record of any birth registration can be found at all.
