After spending the evening trying to read the damn writing on these census i think Ive found some information regarding the place of work for Rebecca and Samuel.
Soulbury Manor House is not one building as I though it was, its a series of buildings owned by a number of people (not sure on that one yet) BUT, where they worked was a separate building.
55 Broad Oak Farm
Thomas CHEW (born 26 Aug 1818) and Sarah CHEW (born 25 Mar 1824), the children of Thomas of Soulbury, farmer, and Hannah (daughter of John WALTER farmer of Wing), both children born in their father's house at Broad Oak Farm Soulbury, father signed both certificates, no witnesses, both registered 12 Apr 1837 [certificate references: RG5, bundle 140, certificate numbers 8487 and 8488)
Another farm was at Chelmcote.
To check the above names I looked on the census and I can see a Sarah Chew listed as an Aunt aged 60 and doing domestic duties, and Thomas Chew listed as the head of Broad Oak, he is aged 71...mmmmmm
Ages look a bit of to me, but they are the Chews for sure.
In the picture above I search google maps and found on the far left is Chelmcote Manor Farm, and on the far right is Broad Oak Manor Farm.
