10 Elizabeths and 3 Eliza's living in Camp Road in 1841 - none surname Wood.

No Woods in Camp Road.

There was also a Camp Place but same applies there

Elizabeth was unmarried and childless in 1841, so was probably working somewhere.
.
There are a number of Elizabeth Woods of the right age in various places around the Leeds area . Any one of them could be her.
Impossible to identify for sure, as exact birthplaces aren't given in 1841, as you know.

On the 1851 census, Mary Ann's age is 7, not 11.

This is her birth:

Please, can you post the 1851 census you've found for Elizabeth, born in Leeds?

How old was she?
I don't see any Elizabeth Wood in Leeds in 1851 with a husband who is a cabinet maker.

There's one born in South Stainley in 1806, whose husband William is a joiner, but she seems too old to be the one you mean?.

Is this the David you've decided is her father?
At least he's a joiner.

You know that there were no penalties for not registering births until 1875.

It would help us to help you if you posted the 1851 census.........you obviously have access to it

:-S Just because she was living in Camp Street when she married in 1842 doesn’t mean she was living there in 1841.
