First there are two different reports of the same baptism on Family Search:

But in 29.7.1860 Family Search has an illegitimate birth:

So, do you think all these records relate to the same person? If not how many different women have I conflated? How do you account for Elizabeth Jane having Frances's maiden name?
Sorry cant get the census columns to line up.
