Yes that sounds like her... but, "Emily"?

Baptism, marriage, and census records all say Eliza.

[NDRFT]

Yes I know but I checked it before I typed and I re checked it just now.
To be sure you need to visit Oxford and read the original or ask on here for someone to do that.
It may have been an error during transcription or typing?

[Jamesk10]

OK thanks for confirming you did triple-check it before posting; I didn't doubt you did.

I'm sure that's her so I agree the different name does seem to be due to a transcription error, whether from original to typed records, or from typed records to computer/CD.

So... if someone is visiting the OHC perhaps they could kindly look in the book to see what it says there, and then depending on what it says there try to view the original if needbe.

I've just received the death certificate.

"Eliza Matilda King"

So as expected that is her, and the confusion has been due to a transcription error in the typed parish record book which then transferred also on to the OFHC records CD. I haven't had chance to look at the original record at the OHC but I'd expect it says Eliza and whoever transcribed it just read it wrong.

Ah ha

Well done Sherlock a good result  buttttt can I implore you to let the Oxfordshire Family History Society know what you have discovered so they can annotate their records for any future editing or queries please?

Yes of course I'll let OFHS know
