I recently learnt that my 4th great grandmother, Elizabeth Hill, was born in Somerset in 1824. In 1845 she married George Moyes in St Helier, Jersey, and had my 3rd great grandmother, Eliza, before seemingly moving to Canada at some point, where they seem to have had another daughter.
I am looking for details of Elizabeth's parents in Somerset, and also how/why she moved to St Helier.

Do you have the marriage certificate for George Moyes and Elizabeth?
If not you can order it Here
The above site also explains the details you can expect to find on the certificate.
Note that the marriage index here has George's surname as Moyse so use that spelling if you have to order the certificate.

So if the Elizabeth in 1871 England census is the poster's Elizabeth who had a second child in Canada was it after the 1871 census they emigrated or did they emigrate, return to England and then return to Canada.
Just wondering and wandering

Ancestry has a partial image of the marriage entry:
2nd June 1845 St Helier
George MAYSE 23 bachelor, mason
Elizabeth HILL 21 spinster
Only the left- hand side of the register has been imaged but the transcription mentions John MAYSE and William HILL, presumably the fathers.
N.B. Whilst the transcript states MAYSE, the handwritten entry looks like MOYSE.
I can only find one baptism For an Elizabeth HILL in Somerset with father's name William:
Elizabeth HILL b. 5th September 1827, baptised 7th October 1827, Halse, Somerset; father, William HILL, labourer; mother, Betty.
If correct, this means Elizabeth was under 18 when she married.
I also think the 1871 Census entry for Elizabeth gives her condition as 'widow'.
