Boyd's is online at the Society of Genealogists website at www.orginsnetwork.com, but you have to pay for it, except for some special days like July 4th (US Ind. Day) when for some inexplicable reason they have been known to have "free" days.
It is worth noting though that these marriage indexes (Boyd's, Pallot's or whoever) are NOT complete indexes. They only cover certain parishes and years, rather like the Mormon website. Some counties are pretty well covered (but rarely 100%) while others have little or no coverage at all. You would be very lucky indeed if the internet gave you all the answers. It is more likely that you will need to get yourself to Taunton and visit the Somerset Record Office to look through the microfilm of the local parish registers yourself. Alternatively, if you don't live near Somerset, you could visit a local Mormon Family History Centre and get them to order in the parish registers for you.

Hi I have done a quick search for you and I may have found Eliza's parents. If I have the right Eliza, she was born on 23rd January 1805 in Horsington in Somerset. She was christened on 27Th January 1805 in Horsington Somerset. Her dads name was Robert Longman and her mum's name was Ann Longman. Feel free to contact me if you need any help, good luck.

Boyds Marriages is available on the Society of Genealogists' site, but you have to pay.
The LDS site seems to have microfilmed the Horsington prs, so you could get it from them, if you have one near you.
Otherwise, I suggest putting a message on rootschat.com for advice and help. They are brilliant.
