Biography
Elizabeth was born in 1833 in Alderwasley, Derbyshire, England.[1][2] She was the daughter of Samuel Walton and Mary Holland. She was baptized in the village at All Saints Church, Alderwasley, Derbyshire on 10 February 1833.[3] In 1851 she was living with her parents and a sister on Forge Hill, Belper, Derbyshire. Her father was working at Butterley Works in the smelter and she was working as a Cotton Carder at the cotton factory on Derby Road, Ripley.[4]
In the summer of 1853 Elizabeth married Henry William Lambert at St Phillip's Church in Manchester.[5] Witnesses to their marriage were George Sedgewick and Eliza Hannah Sedgewick, Henry's sister and brother-in-law who immigrated to Australia in 1854. Elizabeth and Henry raised at least five children together four girls and one boy. One daughter Alice died at the age of ten.
During the 1870s Henry and Elizabeth open their green grocery shop in Lower Hartshay. It was a successful business.[6]
Elizabeth was widowed in 1882. She continued to run the green grocery shop with the help of her daughter Eliza Hannah.[7] She continued to run the shop and her son who lived with her in 1901 worked at the Butterley Works.[8]
She passed away on 2 June 1906 and is buried in St Matthew's churchyard in Pentrich.[9] After her death the grocery store was run by her daughter Eliza Hannah.

Walton-1094 and Wiskom-1 at least have the correct children now, I expect Walton-1094 also died in Australia as it looks like the whole family emigrated. The Derbyshire birthplaces (taken from this Samuel and Mary Holland) are wrong, but definitely better than before!
I am concerned that if Samuel and Mary were married in 1823 there were probably children that were born and subsequently died before 1833 when Elizabeth was born. Also Samuel was 38 at the time of the marriage to Mary Holland which means he could have been widowed before this marriage.
I will have to see how I get on. Thank you so much for your help!
Samuel married Mary Holland in 1823 "England, Derbyshire, Church of England Parish Registers, 1537-1918," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VNYQ-YS7 : 19 October 2020), Samuel Walton and Mary Holland, 23 Jun 1823; citing 23 Jun 1823; citing Marriage, Duffield, Duffield, Derbyshire, England, Derbyshire Record Office, England; FHL microfilm 1,041,430. So if Elizabeth was a sister of Hannah and Emma, her mother was also Mary Holland.
It will take me a long time to sort it all out!
I think you should just create profiles for Elizabeth's parents, the 1851 census (attached as a source here) shows her father Samuel was born about 1785 in Alderwasley, Derbyshire and her mother Mary Holland was born about 1797 in Crich, Derbyshire. If you do create these then we can add Hannah Walton (1837-) and Emma Walton (1839-) as their children too, they are at the moment attached to the wrong parents.
I have done exactly as you suggested and have also moved the child John Walton-5727 as he belongs to this family as well according to the 1851 census. I have not tackled Samuel Walton-1094! But at least he is a little less confused than before.
