Elizabeth Williams died 21 January 1889 age 72 Wentworth Ontario.

Death certificate has w/o William Williams

She was born in England

Death reported on the 25th January by William Williams shoemaker

Religion Methodist.

ADDED she is buried in Copetown Cemetery
Notes
So husband William must have gone on a separate ship possibly after the 1861 census.

Just to clarify....Your original query was the whereabouts of Benjamin Williams c1840 Plymouth, prior to 1891.

See reply #6 Benjamin Howard cannot be your Benjamin Williams as he is in Canada in 1871 and dies there 1920. Your Ben Williams death is most likely the one found by CaroleW & burial by JenB, in 1911. He is still hiding prior to 1891.
