Elizabeth, You may have done it, but you need to convey the data so we don't have to repeat your efforts. Having said that, I noted a couple of trees on Ancestry, but nobody seems to get back earlier. But don't trust submitted trees. They are full of contradictions or copied errors that go unchecked. If you don't have an Ancestry subscription, you might Google Mundia, their associate site and search for Benjamin Jeffery and Mary Jennings. You might also try batch searching at Family Search. The Archer Software site shows the following batches for Pitcombe. Pitcombe ST670330 P002731 Births/Bapts 1538-1836 1975 Single YES M002731 Marriages 1567-1837 839 Single YES Using those batch numbers, you only need the family surname to do a basic search. Use surnames one at a time and gradually refine your search. I think you'll find Jane Cox was christened 1825 to William and Elizabeth. And if you look in the marriage batches you will find their marriage about 1822 which gives her maiden name. You could the do a modified search of the same christening batch using William and Elizabeth as parents. That would give Jane's siblings. It just builds from there.
