Hi,

When did Elizabeth marry Mr Gorman? The marriage cert may record her father's name.

Have you found Elizabeth on a census other than the 1871?

Have you looked for her as Elizabeth Gorman in earlier censuses?  I see the 1871 has her birthplace as Birmingham.

Had she married Hugh Keegan in 1865 (Aston)?  So not a newlywed in 1871.
