Elizabeth vs. Delilah

Jennie Norton writes:

I believe Elizabeth and Delilah are the same person.

"Elizabeth, Aston Magna" had a daughter Caroline who married a Joseph Field. Towards the end of her life "Elizabeth" lived with her daughter, Caroline Field, and when she died in 1885, Caroline registered her mother's death in the name of Delilah (Cert held), despite the fact that on every census from 1851 - 1881 she was down as Elizabeth b. Aston Magna. I think that Caroline must have known her mother's proper name.

Also, in the parish records of Blockley, which covers Aston Magna, there is a baptism of a Delilah Nott (no K) in the correct year.
