In 1851 Henry had moved (promoted?) to vicar of Shalford (or Stratford?) upon Avon, living in College lane, Old Stratford and they only had two of their children with them, though the four family members required six live-in servants to cater for their needs:

By 1861 they had left Aldridge and were living in some style in Hampton Lucy with only Emily Jane and William with them. As Henry was born in Hampton Lucy I wonder if he had inherited his parents house:
