Curiously, Elizabeth was still living with her parents in 1881 at the time of the Census:
RG11/2861/152/43/Sch199 - 5 Tibbett's Gardens, Rowley
Thomas Fowkes Head M 55 Occ Road Man Born Rowley
Rhoda do. Wife M 55 No occ Born Rowley
Elizabeth Homer Dau M 22 No occ Born Cradley
Richard Fowkes Son S 15 No occ Born Cradley

I cannot locate Elizabeth after 1881, but Daniel HOMER turns up as a Widower in 1891 living in Tudhoe, Co. Durham.
