Default Elizabeth Plowright and William George Morris

This couple married in 1839:

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin...2028&ml_rpos=2

Both were of full age.

Elizabeth's father was William Plowright.

William George Morris was a banker and he died in 1860.

Death announcements in the newspapers say he was 60 and from Stratford-on-Avon.

I'm interested in his wife, Elizabeth. In 1841 she is given as being the same age as William. I can't find them in 1851. They lived in Alexander Square, Brompton.

I'm trying to prove/disprove who Elizabeth Plowright was.
I have a woman of the same name in my tree, but she was born in Milton, Cambridgeshire in 1783, so probably not the same person.
However, the bride of this marriage married at Bloomsbury, where my Elizabeth had family connections.

If I could find William and Elizabeth Morris in 1851 I could find a definitive answer, I think.

1851 on FMP, at 18 Alexander Square, Brompton:

Elizabeth's birthplace is Nottingham, and there is a niece Mary Plowright age 19, also born Nottingham.

They are down as Marris on ancestry; I have put in a correction.

Thanks, Kate. I don't know why I couldn't find them.

She's not mine. I suspected as much as the marriage was rather late for her.
My Elizabeth Plowright was alive in 1805 when she was a witness at her sister's marriage at St Leonard's, Shoreditch, but I can find no trace of her after that.
