Eliza was born 18 Nov 1848 Keynsham Somerset England, father Richard mother Ann Hiscocks or Hiscox. Siblings William 1850, George 1854 henry 1856 Sarah Ann (my great gran) 1858 and Mercy 1863. She arrived New York 2nd August 1880 on SS Somerset. Can anyone help to trace her life from then? I know she married and had at least 1 son (information from my now deceased Aunt)1

Daughter too?

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24QR-812

This looks as if it could Millicent

1920 Nassau, New York, United States
Minnie   Ottman   Widowed   age 43   1877   New York   
Walfred   Ottman   Son   Single   Male   19   1901   New York   
Kenneth   Ottman   Son   Single   Male   17   1903   New York   
Katherine   Schneider   Sister   Single age 45   1875 New York   
Milicant   Buse   Sister Married   35   1885   New York   
Frank Buse   Brother-in-law   Married   35   1885   New York   

1940 Nassau New York
Millicent Buse is widowed and sister Katherine is with her and single,
along with Nephew Kenneth G and a lodger

Sorry haven't been able to find Henry & Eliza Schneider with their children on US census using FindMyPast, perhaps someone may be able to find the family on Ancestry

Here's an alternative possibility , note the bride's parents' names :

This would suggest she married first to Smith and then Thomas Evers.
