Hi Rhillip and welcome! :)
What else do you know about Jane - why the choice of surnames?
Did she survive? Do you have a marriage certificate or any census with her on? Any of these might help pin her down.
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

Sorry for echo, Arranroots!
Welcome to RootsChat Rhillip :)
Tell us more! Why 2 surnames? What else do you know about her?
Is your starting point this marriage?

Jane Hambley, Jane Lloyd, Philip Parson, Thomas Prosser
Who did your Jane marry?
(A very quick census search finds this girl - just a guess, really!
1851
HO107/2448 821 8
Tredegar, Bedwellty
173, River Row
John Hamly, head,wid, 60, Engine Fitter, b. Cornwall

She married a Phillip Parsons in December 1853 in Abergavenny. He married in December 1853 a Jane Hambley and a Jane Lloyd, there was only 1 entry for a Phillip Parson on that period, all covered by the same folio number in Abergavenny. Jane had a son Francis born 1851 :o it would appear by the 1861 census that he was classed as son not step son to Phillip and they moved to Middlesbrough between 1853 and 1856 by the ages of subsequent children on the same census. This is why my head hurts, help please :-[
-
As a footnote the duplicate you will notice is 1 for Gloucester and 1 for Somerset as the 1861 census says Somerset and 1881 says Gloucester and they are missed from 1851 census ???
-
I'd say the 10 year old son Francis could well be the 11 months old Francis Thomas shown in the 1851 census above (birth registration Frances Thomas Hambley Hambley, Mar 1851 Abergavenny 26 40)
Obviously, it would be safer for you to purchase Philips marriage cert, or one of the children's birth certs, to check which Jane we're looking for.
-
they are missed from 1851 census
Just in case you don't have it, unmarried Phillip is lodging at HO107/2490 394 48 in 1851.
-
Sorry Tati the missing census was 1871.
-
They're there, possibly slightly mistranscribed as Purssuns, in Ormesby
RG10/4856 29 51

If she was Hambley as I believe, the pilot familysearch site (http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0) has this christening
Jane Tubb Hambley, 30 Jan 1831 Bristol Gloucestershire
parents John and Margaret
other christening to parents John and Margaret Hambley in Bristol:
Samuel Jeremiah, 18 April 1830
Francis Thomas, 21 Mar 1824
John, 8 Sep 1822
Margaret Honor, 14 May 1826
A John Hambley marries a Margaret Browne in Bristol, 18 Nov 1821
Likely 1841 appearance for the children:
1841
HO107/750/9 49 33
Bedwelty, Monmouthshire
Sihowy? Works
John Hambley, 19, Labourer
Francis, 17, Labourer
Hannah, 15
Samuel, 13
Jane, 9
Harford?, 6
All born out of county

Tati you are exceptional many thanks do you think the earlier post is a red herring? though you are right the marriage certificate may hold answers but they do keep changing their story:
(A very quick census search finds this girl - just a guess, really!
1851
HO107/2448 821 8
Tredegar, Bedwellty
173, River Row
John Hamly, head,wid, 60, Engine Fitter, b. Cornwall
Jane, dau, unm, 20, b. Bristol
Alfred, son, 14, Collier, b. do.
Francis Thomas, grandson, 11 mo, b. Bedwelty
George Sockett, son in law, mar, 22, Moulder, b. France
Margt Sockett, wife, 29 (or 24), b. Bristol
John Sockett, son, 1, b. Glamorgan )

Red herring? Well no, I think she's very likely to be the girl you're looking for, especially as there's a little Francis, whose birth registration incidentally proves their surname was Hambley.
-
I also had a quick look for the other couple, Thomas Prosser and wife Jane.
There's a possible match for them at Bedwellty, Tredegar in 1861, RG9/3999 27 3
Thomas Prosser age 43 b. Brecon St John, Jane Prosser age 40 born Merthyr-Tydfil. 10 years earlier, a widowed 30 years old Jane Lloyd born Merthyr is living in Tredegar, HO107/2448 177 28.
Also, interestingly, it appears that John Hambley later moves to Yorkshire (he's in Ormesby in 1881)
Same goes for the Sockett family. Also Alfred (at Kirkleatham in 1881).
