Elizabeth Herbert (again) (General)

I have not posted on here for a while, as I have been researching another branch of the family in Yorkshire. Recently I have had several enquiries as to the parents of Elizabeth Herbert, no dob. She was the mother of Eligah Herbert born 1820 (record of baptism from this site)

Baptism record of Elijah Herbert
Record_ID: 12726
Entry_Number: 180
8 Oct 1820
Child_Forenames: Elijah
Fathers name NONE GIVEN
Mothers name : Elizabeth HERBERT
Residence: Woodside Occupation: Servant
Officiating_Minister: H. Berkin
Event: Baptism
Memoranda: base son of
Register_Reference: P109 IN 1/1
Page_Number: 23 Parish_Chapel: Drybrook

Elizabeth is our brick wall and I have found it impossible to get passed it. My husband is a direct descendant of Elizabeth and her son Eligah. I am bringing it up again in the hope that someone may have come up with a possible solution as to her parentage and subsequent marriage (if any)

The 1851 census for FOD shows Eligah and wife Jane (nee Baglin) living in East Dean with child Elvina (1841)
1861 Census shows Jane as a widow with 4 children. I have not so far found a record of the death of Eligha Herbert, who was listed as a coal miner on the 1841 census. Any ideas welcome.
