BRIGGS, ELIZABETH 72

From the following site, where age at death is recorded before 1869, and where MMN is on birth registrations before 1911

I have an Elizabeth Briggs born 1801 at St Mary's in Nottingham. I think her mother was Jane Briggs. The last time I have found her in a census as Elizabeth Briggs is 1841 in Southwell. I can't find any marriage records after this date for her but I have found a record of a death in 1842 in Southwell, volume 15, page 417, line 55. Is there any where I can search to try and determine if this is my Elizabeth or do I have to order the death certificate to progress further?

Robert Briggs is Elizabeth's son, he was born in Nottinghamshire in 1832. He marries Charlotte Holmes in Sept 1860 at Chesterfield. On his marriage certificate it says he was a widower, I can't find a previous marriage after 1851 (he was single in the census) and before 1860. I wonder if anyone can help please.
