Oxfordshire / Seeking info on Eliza (Elizabeth?) Wooster of North End on Oxon/Bucks border

Dear all,
In trying to untangle a mystery in Bucks I seem to be heading Oxon way due to the location of part of the family I am researching.
I don't know much about Eliza (Elizabeth?) Wooster other than she could be a key figure in my search. She appears as a witness to the marriage of Thomas Wooster (Worster) and Elisabeth Mead of North End who married ins Stokenchurch on 22nd August 1805.
Thomas and Elisabeth have a son buried as an infant in 1806 in Stokenchurch and a son, Joseph, baptised in Turville in 1813.
A Wendover/Bucks area Joseph moves to London and has a daughter Eliza as well as one called Elizabeth, though he is married to Rebecca Hite none of his children are called Rebecca. He states his birthplace as Wendover on the 1851 and 1861 census. It is the parents of this Joseph I am trying to trace.
There are 3 possible Josephs in the Wendover area at about the right time (1807 - 1813). The 1807 one is a mystery and I cannot place at all. Of the others (Bapt 1812 and 1813) One stays in Wendover and one, mine, moves to Middlesex.
Two things separate the 2 Josephs I have tracked
1. One Joseph is baptised at the right time in Ellesbourgh, which is next door to Wendover. The other Joseph is baptised in Turville - which isn't.
2. The names of their kids. The Joseph who remains in Wendover has children who's names match those of a Wendover line of Woosters. The Middx Joseph, mine, has children that sort of match the Stokenchurch marriage I've already mentioned.
I suspect that Eliza was a sister of Joseph Wooster and finding her baptism will help me unpick which family I need to follow. Problem is that there is no Eliza or Elizabeth Wooster baptised at around the correct dates in Bucks.
Since North End is on the border between Oxon and Bucks I'm guessing that Thomas and Elisabeth had most of their children baptised in Oxon. Indeed I think that Turville and Stokenchurch used to be in Oxon.
So is anyone researching Oxfordshire Woosters?
I type in hope!
