Elizabeth and her husband were witnesses at the marriage of Charles, almost certainly meaning they were closely related, and suggesting Elizabeth was one of the children of William and Sarah whose baptisms I have not yet seen.
More conclusive evidence is provided by the baptism of Elizabeth's first child, the register entry for which names Elizabeth's father as William Gotham of Shelton.

(there were 2 Elizabeth Keelings of a similar age in Stoke on Trent at the time of the 1871 census; comparing the ages in the death registration index suggest it was the other Elizabeth who died in 1871, aged 59).

Baptisms of Mary to Herbert indicate these were the 9 to 13th children of William and Sarah.
Of the earlier 8 I have found evidence of 7.

May have had a daughter Clara who was born and died in 1855. Her birth registration (entries in indexes) show that her mother's maiden name was Gotham, but I think it more likely that she was the daughter of George Keeling who had married Ann Gotham.
