I've deliberately not loooked into this today. Probably last tried when the 1841 census became available on Ancestry.

Clues:

His dau (my 2xgg-gm) was Elizabeth Saunders b abt 1831 in Bristol (according to all census records after her marriage)

This is most likely to be her in 1841:

Abedego Matthew 50
Mary Matthew 60
James Duffett 8
George Andrews 8
Samuel Churchill 5
Mary Saunders 10 <<<<<<<<<<possible sister or even twin, or maybe a cousin or not connected at all?!
Elizabeth Saunders 10 <<<<<<<<<<< Mine???

The above people are in Mangotsfield where Elizabeth's future husband was from. There are other possible matches for Elizabeth and obviously possibly quite a few if you consider all the possible spelling variants (which I don't think I have). Abednego Matthew was a school teacher and the children are listed as pupils.

I don't seem to have any record or possible record for Elizabeth in 1851.
