I think the age in 1851 could be 39 rather than 32 which added to the confusion.   

I looked earlier today for a Charles Harper baptised in Colkirk (the original records are on familysearch) but all I found was a Maria Harper bp.21/2/1819, dau. of William and Diana.

William Harper bc.1776 was buried at Colkirk 5/2/1845
Diana Harper bc.1772 was buried at Colkirk 11/9/1832

Looks like Charles was only 2/3 when family moved to Colkirk hence his confusion over birthplace.

William Harper married Diana Smith 29/11/1798 South Raynham, Norfolk (freereg)

Familysearch baptisms to this couple are:

Mary bp.21/5/1799 Whissonsett, Norfolk
Humphrey bp.2/11/1800     ditto  (bur.12/10/1801 East Raynham per freereg)
James bp.28/6/1802 East Raynham (spelt Rainham on familysearch)
William bp.3/5/1804    ditto
Henry bp.26/10/1806   ditto
George bp.20/11/1808  ditto
Humphrey b.390/10/1810, bp.4/11/1810 ditto (per freereg)
Charles bp.10/7/1813 ditto (freereg)
Diana bp.1/5/1815 Colkirk
Maria bp.21/2/1819  ditto

Oh I see, I should learn to check to see of the transcriptions are correct really

Thank you for the information
It seems that with a quick google search that the line of William Harper's (1776-1845) line can be traced back all the way back to Tristram Harper in 1611.

Joel
Are you a descendant of Charles Harper born Raynham Norfolk 1813? His father William was my ggg uncle. I have found three of Charles' children - Sarah (died in infancy), William Henry and Joseph - their mother was Elizabeth Llewellyn - also 2 others Emma & Isaiah perhaps born to his second wife Emma? although I can't find a marriage for Emma & Charles
