I have the detail of Robert Skinner 1822 and Elizabeth 1821 with their children in Over, St. Ives but I need the birth place for Elizabeth nee Marsh as there are two possibles in IGI. Can anybody see her please?

Many thanks,
Frances

This looks like Robert's death:-

Name: Robert Skinner
Year of Registration: 1857
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: St Ives
County: Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire
Volume: 3b
Page: 16_

There must be another number on the page number that the transcriber can't make out.

She's also on the 1841 census in Swavesey as Elizabeth Marsh, age 20. She's a servant so not with family.
There is a Marsh family in Swavesey consisting of Hannah 35, Harry 10 and Hannah 1.
First thought was that Hannah was too young to be Liz's mother but with rounding down of ages she could have been 39.
There's also a Mary Marsh who's 15, a servant with another family.
