I think this has to be your family! and

IGI - Eliza Washbrook Ch. 08 Aug 1819 Rowington Warwickshire Father William Washbrook mother Sarah.

and perhaps - Lydia Washbrook ch 16 Dec 1816 Stockton Warks same parents names.

If you look on the web site of multimap for Wroxall, you will see how close is Rowington.

Hope this all helps
