Seeking information on RANDOLPHS' of Bath, Somerset

Seeking information on:

LEONORA PENELOPE ORANGE RANDOLPH, born about 1821 at Bath? Also of what appears
to be her brother HENRY ORANGE RANDOLPH, born about1817 at Bath.
From all censuses Leonora was born about 1821 at Bath, Somerset.
From her marriage certificate of 1848 to WILLIAM STANDEN her father was JAMES RANDOLPH, deceased.

Is there any connection to the surname 'ORANGE'?

A witness to her marriage was Henry Orange RANDOLPH. From censuses Henry O. RANDOLPH was born about 1817 at Bath and from Henry’s marriage certificate of 1837 his father was James RANDOLPH, solicitor.

1851 Henry RANDOLPH was living at 104 Little Albany Street, St. Pancras, London.
1848 William and Leonora STANDEN were living at 2 Little Albany Street, St. Pancras, London.

More can be found on RANDOLPHs website at http://www.pearson30.karoo.net/trrandolph.html#

A possible branch is CHRISTIAN (Christine?) ST. BARB RANDOLPH & DAVID REES.  JAMES RANDOPLH  is clearly listed as her father.

Marriage licence of Christian (Christine?) St. Barb and David Rees. Letter of consent from James Randolph confirming he is the father of the bride, who is a minor.
The James RANDOLPH/Catherine St. Barbe family is not well documented.
It is not certain whether Henry’s father James is deceased when Henry was married in1837. There is a gap in children from about 1795 to 1806.

Leonora had a daughter Eliza-Kate, Henry had a daughter Catherine –Eliza.
It is not certain that the Catherine RANDOLPH buried 1809 (‘wife of Mr. Randolph’ Familysearch) is the husband of the James RANDOLPH b. 1770.
