Default Help reading place of birth

Elizabeth Farrow c1838 Essex

RG10; Piece: 1643; Folio: 157; Page: 9

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?...c=&pid=7523463

Ancestry have transcribed it as Matching Green but I"m struggling to find her in earlier census (1861 has her down as Stapleford Abbotts but I think this is wrong)

The best match for a marriage I can see with hubbie Samuel Farrow is an Elizabeth Radley in 1858 in the right reg district for Stapleford Abbotts where they're living in 1861 and 1871

I think the 2nd word is Green but the 1st has me stumped
