Trying to find out if Elizabeth (Mrs Herbert) had a brother who would have been Elizabeth Jane 1868's father - but no luck.

You need the marriage cert.

The baptism (14 Aug 1867) posted by safc at 18:48 looks correct, as it's in St Oswalds parish, Durham, which is her birthplace in the 1881 census already posted.

[Assuming, of course. that it's the right 1881 census. ]

So she was born illegitimately, as Jane Elizabeth, with mother Margaret, and no father named.
