Can't see her pre-marriage (other than what I've posted)
can't see them together either

There is a baptism for Richard Jukes 9 July 1775, St Thomas, Dudley, s of Stephen Jukes & Ann.

There is also a submitted burial on the IGI 20 Dec 1846 that seems to fit if the entry is correct.

I can't see them either. Had a quick look and could see no obvious deaths - wonder if they emigrated.
And from my notes the only Benjamin Shakespeare that fits is the one b 1827 that Jo found.

Have also looked to see if Elizabeth is recorded anywhere as Collison/ Collinson - could there be any other variants?

I wonder if this is Richard?

1851. Holly Hall, Dudley
Richard Jukes, head, 48, Glass maker, Stourbridge
Ann, wife, 45, Stourbridge
Ann, daur, 16, kingswinford

Is this the Benjamin, father Joseph??

That's not him - Mallosa found his wife as a widow in 1851 with some of same children as in 1841 : see one of the posts above

I don't think that is Richard his occupation on the marriage states Glass cutter and it would seem odd to me if he jumped from glass cutter to whitesmith?

I have only added the marriage for now as we are unable to get any further on this.
