Hi @manu ,
According to your xml file, is it caused by the missing node Order?
I made a test with a simple xml and I can get the values.
Here is my code example:

var xml = XElement.Load(@"C:\Users\Desktop\test.xml");  
        IEnumerable<XElement> de =from el in xml.Descendants("Header").Elements("EcommerceNotification").Elements("Order").Elements("OrderReferenceFields").Elements("ReferenceField") select el;  
        foreach (XElement el in de)  
            Console.WriteLine(el.Value);  

And the following is my test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>  
<Upsscs SchemaVersion="1.0" applicationVersion="1.0.">  
<Header>  
  <EcommerceNotification type="OrderCreatedNotification">  
    <Order number="26875690">  
     <OrderReferenceFields>  
        <ReferenceField id="1">79787709</ReferenceField>  
        <ReferenceField id="2">936N5D4CPU</ReferenceField>  
        <ReferenceField id="3"/>  
        <ReferenceField id="4"/>  
        <ReferenceField id="5"/>  
     </OrderReferenceFields>  
   </Order>  
  </EcommerceNotification>  
</Header>  
</Upsscs>  

Here is also a related thread you can refer to.
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide your code and xml file.
Best Regards,
