Hi
The record cj has given you (found in the IGI on www.familysearch.org) is a member submitted record and needs to be treated with caution as you are relying on research done by another person.    You have no idea what the original source of the informationwas.   It is interesting that there are two other records for a Mary Whiley being baptised in 1802 in Friskney.  These are extracted records from the parish register so should be accurate.  They give two different parents so it looks as if there were two of them.   You will have to be very careful not to muddle them up!

Equally, the transcription of the marriage gives the groom as William TOPLAS.  I don't think the name IOPLAS exists ... apart from the aforesaid William, the only other IGI entry is in Peru!

It appears that the other Elizabeth WHILEY may have married a Toynton HARDY in 1831.

Your only chance of deciding which Eliza(beth) was which may be clues given in the names of the children (if they match parents' names).  As sillgen said, it's a dodgy business.
