Yes I also have Eleanor as having lived in Peel with married dau etc - however have you checked what the marriage record says (images of the actual parish reg are now it seems online via familysearch) just matching names and approx dates of birth tend to lead to errors - always look for evidence that seems to contradict your current hypothesis eg in this case Eleanor seems quite consistent with age placing her a couple of years older than your suggestion + also marriage in a parish without obvious family connections - also check on all the other possible Eleanors + Thomases to see if there were matching marriages etc for them thus removing them from further consideration
