Maureen, I think it must be, but I would like to find this Benjamin Smith, farmer, in the 1851 census to confirm it.

1841 Census - HO107; Piece 506; Book: 15; Civil Parish: Whalley; County: Lancashire; Enumeration District: 26; Folio: ; Page: 1
Lane House, Briercliffe
John Nutter, 25 years, Weaver, b. Lancs
Olive Nutter, 24 years, Weaver. B. Lancs
Abraham Leaver, 2 years, b. Lancs
Elizabeth Leaver, 15 years, b. Lancs

When – 3 February 1845
Where – Church of Briercliffe
Groom – James Foster, weaver, full age of Lane Bottom, Briercliffe
Bride – Elizabeth Leaver, weaver, aged mino of Blackhouse Lane, Briercliffe
Grooms father – Jeremiah Foster, weaver
Brides father – Benjamin Smith, farmer
Witnesses – John Nutter and Sarah ?

I've been trying to find him but no real success yet. I wonder whether her parents were already dead by 1841 and that was why she was living with Olive?
I'm also looking for a Benjamin Smith/ Leaver marriage in case her parents were married after she was born. If that happened tho it would likely be before 1837.

Just found one in 1841 but having to dash out so can't follow it up :
