Find Ancestors

Hi can anyone please help. I am looking for any help on Eliza Land. She was born 1842 philadelphia united states of America. I can find her with her parents in the 1851 census living with her parents Richard Land and Elizabeth Land in peterborough.e In 1861 she is living in London as a servant. There is no sign in 1871 and 1881. She turns back up in the 1891 census living in Lancashire with her Husband Micheal Dillion. Living with them are two boys William Irving born abt 1870 Ireland. John Irving born abt 1875 born Manchester both have step son next to thier names.Both Micheal and Eliza disapear after the census I have searched for a wedding for eliza and Micheal and a marriage for an Eliza and surname Irving. But have not found anything. so can any one please please help. :-(
Many thanks
Karen Marie

just had a look at the marriage it is not the right one. Eliza was born in America and Micheal was born ireland. will have a quick look at the death. I am know thinking was she married to Micheal Dillon or even someone called Irving.

Just been looking on all the census that she is in. There is no middle name. And I am still trying to find her birth in America

Not sure about the 1879 marriage - Lancashire bmd usually shows all previous names in its index, so would have expected to see her shown as Land as well.

Found this on the 1911 Irish census - interesting POBs for the children:

If this is her she was in Cambridge in 1861 not London:
