Do you have Eliza and her mother on census before Eliza's marriage

Think that Eliza is on the 1861 census in Exbourne, Okehampton working as a servant.  Also working as a servant is Thomas Hucker who she later married

Household Members:   
Name                 Age
Richard Newcombe   43
Elizabeth Newcombe   37
John H Newcombe   8
William Newcombe   6
James Newcombe   3
Sarah E Newcombe   11/12
Thomas Hucker          41
Eliza J Kelly          22   Servant born Wales

Now this is interesting.  I have found an 1851 census at Pembroke Dock for a family transcribed as Celly.   There is a daughter Eliza born 1838 Pembroke Dock but the father is shown as Patrick Celly born 1807 Ireland and a "Royal Marine":

Household Members:   
Name          Age
Patrick Celly   44
Eliza Celly           29
Eliza Celly           13
Maryann Celly   6
Jane Celly   4
Louisa Celly   2
Catherine Celly   3 Weeks

Mother Eliza and all the children were born in Pembroke Dock.

There were however 2 Eliza Kelly's born in Pembroke in the same period:

March Quarter 1838 Pembroke 26 599 & March Quarter 1839 Pembroke 26 627.

There is a tree on An.ty claiming one an 1838 birth (with father Patrick) and this Eliza went to Australia.

Have however also found a June Qtr 1838 marriage in Pembroke for a Robert Kelly:

Surname    First name(s)        District    Vol    Page
Marriages Jun 1838   (>99%)

The 1838 birth is definitely the  parents Patrick & Eliza:

Wales, Select Births and Baptisms, 1541-1907 about Eliza Kelly
Name:            Eliza Kelly
Gender:            Female
Baptism Date:   25 Mar 1838
Baptism Place:   Llanstadwell,Pembroke,Wales
Father:           Patrick Kelly
Mother:           Eliza.

Therefore assume that your Eliza is the 1839 birth.  And with just this baptism registered Robert was probably RC and registers not available.  Will probably need the birth certificate to find mothers name.
