Checking ancestors in 1841 and 1851

I am revisiting old findings and would like help please checking the parentage of a direct ancestor, Herbert SKERRETT b. abt 1837 in Ullingswick, Herefordshire.

This is probably him in 1841...........

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interactive/8978/HEFHO107_418_420-0464?pid=4564686&treeid=&personid=&rc=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=SwA2314&_phstart=successSource

I think his father died before the next census, but where is his mother in 1851?

1851
Shows a Herbert SHERRETT of about the right age, but attributed as son of someone else.

Can anyone clarify what it says for Ellinor, immediately above Herbert in 1851 census, please?

I have all later information about Herbert, it's his parents / siblings I'm checking.

Thank you alviegal, yes that is the correct one.

I've just viewed the image again and realised that they are in fact recorded as another household to the previous entry of SHERRETTs (should be SKERRETT

Please can you see mother Elizabeth? wherever she is visiting?

Thank you both
That's the right family.
Various branches of the Skerrett family lived at Gobbetts right up into the 2000s.

I'll have another look at Elizabeth with extended family in 1851.

I am hoping to meet a distant relative soon, descendant of John and Elizabeth and wanted to be sure I was sharing accurate information.

Thank you for your help.
