Elizabeth BROBYN born 1827 Westbury on Severn (General)

On the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses the place of birth for my ancestor Elizabeth Brobyn was Westbury, Gloucestershire. Elizabeth married James Gay sometime before the birth of their daughter Elizabeth, my great great grandmother, in Newport (Mon) in 1848. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate any records of her marriage to James Gay so I don't have a name for Elizabeth's father. That is why I have turned to this excellent website.

There is a baptism record for an Elizabeth Brobent for 14 October 1827. She is the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth. Daniel and Elizabeth also appear, with their other children, on the 1841 census in Pope's Hill, with the surname 'Brobin.'

I am hopeful that this Elizabeth is my Elizabeth who married James Gay. One of Elizabeth and James' sons named their firstborn son Daniel so this is a possible tenuous link to the Brobins of Pope's Hill.

Is this plausible or just wishful thinking?

Thanks
