I am looking for a birth c1840 or passenger list , I have info on her children but none on where she came from.
-
There is a family tree on Ancestry that had Eliza Turner being born on 20 Dec 1840 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, UK.
Immigration: James Turner (Father?), 22 Nov 1842. Launceston, Tasmania. Royal Saxon.
(I presume the family all came out at the same time and then moved to S.Aust).
Married Robert Coad 28 Feb 1826.

Married Robert Coad 28 Feb 1826.
1856 not 1826. Married at Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide. Names of the fathers of both bride and groom were not recorded on marriage certificates in South Australia until mid 1856
From the Biographical Index of South Australians - excellent resource for researching in SA however the information was gleaned from public records and some has also been submitted by descendants. There are errors and omissions.

Robert COAD's entry on BISA shows he lived at New Hamburg SA. This MAY be Eliza's sister's marriage born c1843
PARKER Robert 23 years Status not recorded Father William Jackson PARKER
TURNER Sarah 17 years Status not recorded Father James TURNER
28 Feb 1860
At the residence of James Turner, New Hamburgh Str 41/346
Possibly an error with James' wife and Eliza's mother's name on BISA. All data needs to be checked anyway.

I wonder if this is Eliza's father marrying for the second time and the bride is half his age? If it is it's unfortunate that his marital status wasn't recorded. Father's name could be checked with the 1840 marriage cert. Remember that ages were rounded down the nearest five years on the 1841 census. however I've found some of my ancestor's ages were accurate.
TURNER James 42 years Status not recorded Father Robert TURNER
TOWNSEND Mary Ann 21 years Status not recorded Father William TOWNSEND

Possibly you have this info.
