Thanks what about the death of Mary Matthews and her birth and Richard childs birth.

Had a look on familysearch and freereg could not find anything for Richard.

You can search for Mary death on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Still alive in 1881, looks like her last child was by Thomas, she is a widow

Ok thanks next step is to look for thomas ad Mary Matthews in the 1871-1891 census return. I think 

[Cas (stallc)]

1871 and 1881 is above, will check 1891

EDIT  Cannot locate in 1891. Thomas (son) is married in 1891, living in same household as 1881, Mary is not with him.

The right reg district for where living 1881 census. Bridgnorth      

Her ages are all over the place in census.  There are a few deaths both Mathews and Matthews, but think it maybe hard to determine which is her without viewing the certs/info.

Good luck
