Because those ordinances are not hers.
At some point someone must have merged Eliza Ann with a woman of a similar name who was born in 1842 or earlier. Looking through her Change Log, I don't see any incorrect merges following down each line of merges there so this must have happened in New Family Search, the predecessor to Family Tree, where the merge system was not nearly as good as Family Tree's merge routine and major errors could easily occur.
Since the merge error took place prior to Family Tree, there is nothing you can do here to correct this. Only Family Search support can. A moderator here will likely see your post and move it to the Temple section here in Community then get it forwarded to the team that can fix this. If you don't get some type of response here that has happened within a couple of days, you should re-post this question under Temple as a request to fix it. At the same time, you can request that BIC be added to Eliza Ann since that is missing and her parents were sealed a year before she was born.

Thank you, also her sealing was done in1875, but according to marriage information attached she got married in 1899

That also confirms that at least one incorrect merge took place. Support can go into the records for the actual ordinances to see who the listed ordinances belong to and get the incorrect ones back on the correct person and get the correct ones for your Eliza Ann to show properly.

Your case will be forwarded to a specialty team for review and resolution. You may be contacted by that team if they need additional information.
