No other marriages between Henry Morley and Harriet Jacobs in the Marriage indexes from 1841-1850 (checked at FRC London)

Henry married Harriet JACOBS, daughter of Philip JACOBS and Sarah SUDDER, on 12 Aug 1849 in St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth. Harriet was born 1830 in Gorleston, Suffolk.

Harriet was employed Beatster (Net Maker/Mender).

1881 Census: Age 51, Living in High St, Gorleston, Suffolk with Henry and children Thomas (age 15) and Philip (age 6). Occupation: Beatster
1901 Census: Widowed, living with son Philip at 3 Police Station Lane, Gorleston.
NOTE: I think that Harriet might have actually been Harriet Sudders Jacobs even though her marriage cert says Harriet Hales Jacobs. The reasons for this are as follows
The parish records have a baptism for a Harriet Sudders Jacobs on 16 Feb 1830 - parents are Philip and Sarah.
The parish records also have a marriage on 17 Oct 1824 between Philip Jacobs and Sarah Sudder.
In the 1851 UK Census Harriet and her husband Henry Morley are living next door to a household with Jacob Sudders age 74 widowed born Prussia? (head), Sarah Jacobs age 50 (looks like she is daur of Jacob and married but not clear), Elizabeth Burgess age 23 (daur, married), Jacob P Jacobs age 29 (g-son).
Elizabeth Burgess was a witness at Henry and Harriet's marriage.
So I'm wondering if this is just a big coincidence or if Harriet Hales Jacobs was really Harriet Sudders Jacobs, daughter of Sarah Sudder and grandaughter of Jacob Sudder(s) ? If anyone knows please get in touch.
