She married a Robert Hughes ( Gateshead ) and had children named Henry b1884 , Frederick Arthur b1886 and Elizabeth Bell b1892. I have guessed the wedding date as being approx 1884 based on their eldest childs DofB. It is only from a census that I saw that she was born in Manchester , but i have not been able to find any Wedding Certificate, or Birth Certificate. She died on 30 Dec 1931 in Gateshead. I am hoping that someone may know some information or can lead me in the right direction. I am aware that there were Russian Orthodox Jews arriving in the Manchester area during that period but i am unsure if that is just a wild guess with the surname being Benson ( Son of Benjamin ) Thankyou in advance for any information that you can provide.
