Checked, looks great.

For her parents' marriage, her birth and siblings' births, if you want another free source: Edgar H. Reed, "Marriages, Births and Deaths at Taunton" NEHGR Vol. 17(1863):232.

Unfortunately, Taunton's original VRs are under lock & key at FamilySearch, so can't pull the original record. Too bad.
