I think what you have found seems to be my Elizabeth, but here is the other one I found anyway from an 1871 census.

My Elizabeth has a death date of 1932 at 78 years old so would have a birth date of 1854?

Or could you allow a few years either way for error?

The informant, Frederick her son stated born TAVISTOCK.

He may not have actually known his mother's age.
From the information he gave, he had not ever seen the marriage certificate.
Sister Maud was dead, and so probably was brother Frank and so no-one to check things with.

All speculation and the marriage certificate may or may not clarify things.

There was a lot of deception going on, so difficult to filter out the truth.

Yes makes sense, hopefully when the marriage certificate comes it does help clear things up nor make things messier

At reply #3 -

For birth certificate, Frederick STUART,1888, informant is mother Annie TURNER.

Annie is giving information about herself, and records her age as 34 years.

That would be more credible than anything recorded about Annie after her death.

[CarlyMaree11]

That age would match with the record on her death certificate, both would have her born 1854

This looks like her birth

ADDING
She possibly thought she was born in Tavistock as that is where her family relocated to

And 2 of her siblings

So it looks as if the family moved to Tavistock when Elizabeth Ann was a young girl.
