Perhaps this one from this site? She may have been christened Elizabeth but recorded as the diminutive.

I am trying to trace the Birth/Family of Elizabeth Collins.

Census Records 1851-1861 Suggest she was born ab 1811 in Redbrook Parrish or Newland Gloucestershire.

I have found a possible record of her marriage to John Harris (born ab 1808 Forest of Dean)in Dixton 1830 witness's were Mary and George Watkins.

Elizabeth and John Harris had moved to Gospel Oak, Tipton, Staffordshire by 1841 where she lived until her death in 1867.

Any help or guidance in tracing her birth or family would be appreciated.
