Louisa (Eliza) Sawyer

I have family in canada west all the way back to 1845.

Peter Smith came from England and married misss sawyer 3 Mar 1845 in Huron Districct.

He appears in the 1871 cencus as a widower but there is a discrepancy in the forename of Miss sawyer. many trees and records show her as Eliza Sawyer and others show her as Louisa sawyer. Trying to find which is correct. any help appreciated.
