Hello Scott How are things in the Peg? I think I found Ann with sons John and James in Wales in 1871. Ann is listed as a widow so I guess that puts Robert's death before 1871. FreeBMD has the following deathin Sunderland. Unfortunately no age given: Deaths Jun 1863 Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page BENTHAM, Robert not given Sunderland 10a 297 Hope this helps.
