Name Frederick William HARRIS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Dec Q 1850 Faversham, Kent, England 
- From the 1891 census where shown as aged 38, 1901 where shown as 50 and 1911 where shown as 58.
In censuses 1891-1911 as Frederick or Frederick Willam, but had married as William Frederick.
Although Harris is a common surname, his father's unusual middle name, given on Frederick's marriage cert as 'Raynor' allows his parents' marriage to be identified, and hence his mother's maiden name (Shornden) and Frederick's birth registration:

Frederick and Sarah may well have had more children, born and died between censuses, especially likely is that there was one between 1892 and 1897. However, there were a number of Harris - Bells couples, and with the family moving around quite a bit due to Frederick being in the army it is not easy to work out which if any were theirs. (Sarah died before 1911 and so that census does not show how many children were born to the marriage)
