Thankyou SO much Margaret!

Might have known father would be a JOHN as well, the family seemed to like the name. 

I have just sent a message to one of the Tree Holders on GR as she has other members of this family as well.

Thanks again

I think it is possible that Alice AKIN who married John Benstead 1830 died 1840 and Death Reg is on FreeBMD.

I would be getting that Cert if I was you if there is no other way to find it is her.

John her Husband likely died 1833
Burial;
6 May 1832, St. Mary-The-Less Church, Cambridge, Cambridge, England

I dont have acces to Parish Records only stuff on FreeREG/F/S.Org

magslote may be able to check 1832/1840 Burials for you
