I cannot find Elizabeth's baptism, circa 1789, possibly Islington, as this is what she said when she was living with her widowed sister in 1851 in 25 Jefferys St Kentish Town:

Hester was a witness to her marriage to Humphrey Gregory Pridden:

They married in her parish of St Mary Newington in 1810, but HGP was of St Andrews Holborn. Both literate.
She had three sons: John b 1811 Leather Lane, Holborn
Joseph Thomas b 1816 City of London Lying in Hospital and
Humphrey Gregory Pridden junior b 1818 Islington
Her husband HGP died following a drunken argument in the same year.
She then married the elusive Wiliam Cannon (who appears to have been a spirits merchant in Oxford Street) on 8 March 1818 in St Andrews Holborn. I don't recognise the witnesses.
They had two girls that I know of:
Ann Pridden Cannon b 1820
Elizabeth Pridden Cannon b 1822
Both girls were baptised in St Andrews Holborn in 1832 when the family were living in Camden Town. William's profession was given as confectioner. (He may, of course long been dead by this stage)
The girls of course had no right to the surname Pridden, but this may have been to establish Elizabeth and her sons' entitlement to any Pridden money going.
In 1841, Elizabeth is living as a governess with her daughter Elizabeth in Temple Street Bethnal Green:

Her sister Hester had married Peter Dantan after banns 6 January 1817 in St Mary Islington and HGP was a witness:

Can anyone find baptisms for Elizabeth and (I am presuming!) sister Hester?
Can anyone find a death and/or burial for Elizabeth? Her sons, like her first husband, were a sad disappointment to her and HGP junior had fled to Bradford, abandoning his wife, by ths stage.
