I think that Eleanor should be down as Eliza going on the baptism. You can look at the IGI for free on www*familysearch*org (replace * by full stop) On first page click on the Search tab -at the top of the page and then on International Genealogical Index on the side.

To be certain that you have the correct family in the various censuses, you will need to check Eliza's father's details on the marriage cert Reg

The 1841 family (mistranscribed) was the one that tied in with the baptism of Eliza Croot in 1833 which I had posted earlier. If that is not your Eliza then just ignore the family.
