Hi Pete,
Unfortunately I am unable to answer your request for information directly, but some information I am able to provide concerns Maria Elizabeth CUPITT [Born. 17/3/1886 Molong NSW, - Died. 7 Jun 1937] and her previous marriage in 1908 to Arthur Stephen BENSON. [Born. 10th July 1864, Molong NSW, - Died. 1910]
Maria married Arthur when she was in her 21 or 22 year. Arthur S. BENSON died sometime in the 2nd year of their marriage. She went on to marry your Great Uncle Alfred TWIDDY some 7 years later.
Arthur Stephen BENSON is my Great Grand Uncle.
His Parents were John BENSON [Born. 15 Jan 1819, Leeds, Yorkshire, UK - Died. 8 Feb 1902, Molong, NSW] and; Anne McCARTHY [Born. 1838, NSW, - Died. 12 Apr 1922 Molong, NSW.]
I have much more comprehensive information regarding the Benson and McCARTHY Families and their descendants.
I too am keen to discover more of the life of Maria Cupitt (Benson, Twiddy).
