Have you tried a search on this site to see if anyone else is looking for the family, or on freebmd for their marriage. Perhaps Benjamin had died before the l89l census, or was away at the time of the census.
Good luck,

very unlikely they divorced as it was difficult and expensive. More likely he has died, left or just somewhere else!

Hi Karen

I found this marriage on freebmd.org.uk

Marriages Dec 1845 (>99%)
Jones Amos Monmouth 26 122
>>>>>>>>>>Jones Benjamin Monmouth 26 122
ROBERTS Elizabeth Monmouth 26 122
>>>>>>>>>>>>Tyler Caroline Monmouth 26 122

If you go to the link given to you & enter Benjamins details plus Caroline for the spouse first name & Gloucestershire as the County you will find it.

To make sure it's the right marriage you need to first find & order one of their childrens birth certs.

Thank you very much all x

There are several trees on Ancestry with this family.

I think I would go for this birth cert

Births Jun 1865 (>99%)
Jones Charlotte Monmouth 11a 25


Or if you know the correct birthdate or a middle name maybe of one of the children get that to be certain you have the right Maiden Name for Caroline
