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.

Hi

John 28 Dec 1812
Joseph 29 Jan 1815
Thomas 1817
Mary 14 Nov 1819
then quite a gap and along comes
Samuel Charles 25 March 1827.

William Matthews married 10 Feb 1812 at Duns Tew to Sarah ARIS after banns. They were both otp.
Witnesses were; Hannah ARIS and Mary ARIS.
I do not see a baptism in the village for Sarah and the only close one for William is a William MATTAS s o James and Jessinee baptised on 25 Feb 1787 but that IS speculation!!
