Benjamin Spencer married Jane Green 1860 Farnham Surrey and in 1881 she was a widow with four children. I have found two deaths for Benjamin in Surrey, one in 1865 and the other 1868 (42) Have also found a birth for Benjamin in 1826 and would like to know if he is the correct person. Looking at the Census might be a help, also it would tell me a little about the children. Jane was born in 1833 Crondall Hampshire.
Any help would be appreciated

Thank you so much this really helps. Now I can work out Benjamin. I have been looking for Annie Spencer (wrong year) as I thought there was a mistake by ten years. I also looked for Annie green but found nothing as I was thinking she could be illigitimate and belonging to Jane. Mary Anne is probably the Annie I am looking for.
