Billing family from Oxfordshire, England

Seems to be a variation in age for Richard from 1841 to 1851 -It also seems from this data that Gabriel Billing may have married twice
1841
Gabriel 44Margaret 23 john 14 Edwin 12 Ann 10 William 3 Jane 2 Richard 9 weeks
(no relationships are shown in 1841, but Margaret may be the mother of the 3 youngest children)
1851
Gabriel 54 (widower)Edwin 22 Ann 20 William 13 Jane 11 Richard 8 Elizabeth 6
1861
Gabriel 64 William 23 Richard 20 Jane 22 Elizabeth 17
So ages seem somewhat variable.
There is no record of a birth for Richard in 1842/3/4but there is one in the Jun Qtr 1841
BillingRichardThame16 109-Thame is the correct district for his place of birth.
There is a death for a Margaret Billing in Jun 1848
BillingMargaretThame16 83
The birth certificate for Richard would give his mother's details - the IGI gives a baptism as
7 Jun 1841 Chalgrove, Oxford parents Gabriel Billing and Margaret, whereas the baptism for Edwin gives mother as Elizabeth - so two marriages seems correct, although the marriages do not seem to be listed on the IGI.The Oxford FHS would probably have copies of the parish records with marriage details.
