Being illegitimate - Elizabeth jnr may have used her uncle George's christian name when she married.  Many illegitimate children made up a fathers name when they married to appear "respectable"

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond. There are lots of leads to look at there.
I should know better than to assume all information on censuses and even on marriage certificates are entirely accurate.
Its interesting that trish has Elizabeth Benyon on a census aged 50 ( obviously not the one Im looking for but there must surely be a connection because my Elizabeth Benyon was staying with her aunty and uncle on the Wirral in 1871whose name was Sherlock, same name as William on the 1891 census.
As the saying goes: there are more questions than answers.
Thanks once again to you all. Lot more work to do but that's how it is.

Elizabeths age is just out in 1891 Census otherwise all info matches.

The 50yr old Elizabeth is the mother of the younger Elizabeth so she is your Great Great Grandmother
