Gosh, you three, you've been busy! Thank you so much for your efforts, it'll take me a while to absorb all this.

I suspect that the entries for Will Jackson blacksmith are not my family, as why would he change to being a farmer. I could see that a blacksmith might change to being a chaise driver though.

I know this isn't what you're asking about - veering away from Elizabeth to her possible half-siblings -

However , in case it's of interest -

burial of myles ties in with last baptism above

Yes everything seems to fit as to William and Jane being Elizabeth's parents apart from William being a blacksmith in 1841. Still think they're the correct family though.

i agree

So do I.

It does all look to be the right family, apart from the blacksmith/farmer switch, however I'll keep looking for a reason why William might have swapped his occupation.

Thank you all so much for your assistance, and it helps to all be in agreement too!
