Hi Maggie - I have been searching some of the LMA records today and came up with this possibility;
a baptism of Elizabeth dau of Richard and Elizabeth Sawyer of East Street born 19/12/1825 and baptised 11/1/1826 at St Marylebone

In the 1841 census there is a transcription of an 'Elizth Sanger' that has been corrected to Elizth Sawyer by someone

She is aged 15 and living with parents Richd and Elizth Sawyer in East Street with quite a few siblings. It looks as though Richard is a bonnet maker - but am not too sure about that.

1851 census has Elizabeth transcribed as 'Lawyer' lodging at 29 Norfolk St aged 24 and working as a straw bonnet maker - which could tie in with Richard's occupation in the previous census. It gives her birthplace as Marylebone so this could well be your Elizabeth.
I hope these are of help
