The 1851 census gives Eliza's birthplace as Westminster, NOT Switzerland which tallies with the baptism Chris Ho found:

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census

St Anes Villa, Paddington, Kensington, Middlesex, England


Francis Hopgood Head Married Male 46 1805 Nursary Hanover Square, Glamorganshire, Wales
Eliza Hopgood Wife Married Female 50 1801 - Westminster, Middlesex, England <<
Eliza Hopgood Daughter Unmarried Female 20 1831 - Bayswater, Middlesex, England
Francis Hopgood Son Unmarried Male 17 1834 - Bayswater, Middlesex, England
Sarah Fitzgerald Servant Unmarried Female 26 1825 Servant Haddon, Middlesex, England Transcription
Elizabeth Hopwood Servant - Female 22 1829 Servant Kensington, England
John MacOrd Servant Unmarried Male 23 1828 - St Lawrence, Somerset, England
James Plane Apprentice Unmarried Male 15 1836 Apprentice Marylebone, Middlesex, England

EDIT - Not sure where the Glamorganshire bit for Francis came from, as image says he was a nursery man, and birthplace is Hannover, St George , which would tie in well with the St George, Hanover Square baptism that GlitterBaby posted earlier for Francis.
