Sophia Cornes nee Crosby

[EdCan]

Sophia married Benjamin Corens 31 Oct 1819 at St Leonard Shoreditch and that is all I know about her. Benjamin was buried 22 Feb 1846 St Mary Newington with a birth abt 1773. When daughter Sophia Susan married in 1846 the cert showed Benjamin was a painter. Unfortunately I could not find Benjamin in 1841 so no idea if Sophia still alive and she does not show up in 1851. Could not find a marriage for a Sophia Cornes. The 1849 Clerkenwell marriage is not my Sophia.

Thanks Mo - my mistake re date of birth. That 1841 find could certainly be him. There is a baptism for a Benjamin Cornes 26 Jun 1783 Smarden Kent which could be my guy. Does the 1841 state whether Benjamin married or widow?

I am afraid that the 1841 census didn`t state their marital status.

Not sure where else to look. Everything that I have tried came up blank
