Well spotted, Allan! The dates from the gravestone are confused.
I suspect that the gravestone was incorrectly transcribed.
A marriage licence was granted on 22/11/1811.
The marriage of Abel Buckley and Ann Wright took place on 28/11/1811.
Eliza Buckley was born 23/8/1812 and baptised 15/10/1812.
Ann must have died on or after 23rd August 1812.
I suspect she died 25th February 1813 and not 1811!
The memorial stone was probably erected some time after Abel's death and the information would have come from a family member, therefore it is quite possible some of the facts are wrong.
