Catherine, Agnes, Eleanor and Beatrix were daughters of Henry Hippisley Junior (1808-1896) and his first wife Elizabeth Agnes Nelson. Henry himself was in Torquay in 1851 for some unknown reason. He was a widower as Elizabeth died in 1849.
Henry married his second wife, Elizabeth Mary Sulivan, in 1851 with whom he had four more children. Elizabeth was the niece of Henry John Temple, better known as the 3rd Viscount Palmerston, British Prime Minister from 1855-1858.
The Rev H. Hippisley you mentioned was Henry Snr (1776-1838).
I'm afraid I don't know anything about servants records for the Lambourn Hippisleys. The best place to look would be in the Berkshire records office.
