Hi
Oxfordshire is reasonably large and has a lot of towns and villages. You need to narrow the search criteria down more to help us help you.

Offer as much info as possible it really does help sort the chaff from the wheat, particularly if more than one of the same name comes up or similar dates etc?

From FreeBMD:

Births Jun 1856
MATTHEWS  Elizabeth Lydia        
Woodstock 3a 549

1861 census:
RG 9/901/74/9
New St, Deddington, Oxfordshire
Thomas MATTHEWS  Head  44  Plough Inn, Publican  b. Dunstew
Lydia MATTHEWS  Wife  45  b. Oxford
Mary Ann MATTHEWS  Dau  21  b. Deddington
Sarah MATTHEWS  Dau  20  b. Deddington 
Samuel MATTHEWS  Son  18  b. Deddington
Elizabeth Lydia MATTHEWS  Dau  4  b. Deddington 

(Censuses after her marriage to Alfred Temple confirm Elizabeth's place of birth as Deddington.)

Possible marriage for her parents from FreeBMD:

Marriages Mar 1839
(possible spouses)
HORTON  Lydia
MATTHEWS  Thomas
Oxford 16 123   

Elizabeth's birth cert would confirm her parents' names.

Nice one Rambler - I reckon you may have got the family there.

If that is correct then looking at Deddington PR's I see Elizabeth Lydia baptised there at SS Peter & Paul Church on 29 June 1856 d o Thomas & Lydia Innkeeper

Thomas Matthews baptised on 13 April 1817 at St Mary Magdalen Church, Duns Tew, Oxfordshire. He was s o William & Sarah farmer

Thank you very much for this help. My mothers family in England had done a family tree on the fathers side and not bothered about her mothers side so it is so good to go back with her,thank you very much.
