Who did Elizabeth marry ?

Perhaps the witnesses names will help.

She married William Benjamin Godfrey 30/7/1820 in Liverpool. I only have the transcription.

FindMyPast has the marriage image.
He is just William Godfrey not William Benjamin Godfrey

The witnesses are Edward Coventry and Ambrose Place?

The entry on the same day for Thomas Moore?/Hoose? depending on transcription married Sarah Godfrey and has the same witnesses, so perhaps she is William's sister.

Elizabeth says born Parkgate 1851 and 1861 so the nearest parish is Neston?

Apologies, yes you are right, it was as William only, not with his middle name, that he got married as.

Thank you for witness's names. At the moment they don't mean anything yet, but it's great to have them.

Yes, William had a sister Sarah, so this could be her marriage.

I haven't been able to find a suitable baptism for Parkgate or Neston unfortunately.
