Hi Denise:

I think this is her...

1861 census
Residence: 24 Ryle Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire
Thomas BENSON, Head, M, 31, Joiner, b. Macclesfield, Cheshire
Catherine BENSON, Wife, M, 27, Silk Winder, b. Manchester, Lancs.
Jane BENSON, Daur, Unm, 6 weeks, b. Macclesfield, Cheshire

By 1871, she cannot be found but we do have a possibility despite the
difference in age of Thomas:

1871 census
Residence: 8 Spring Vale Road, Pendleton, Salford, Lancs.
Thomas BENSON, Head, M, 28, Joiner, b. Macclesfield, Cheshire
Emma BENSON, Wife, M, 27, Silk Doubler, b. Macclesfield, Cheshire
Jane N. BENSON, Daur, Unm, 10, Scholar, b. Macclesfield, Cheshire

It might be worth while checking out the following death record:
Name: BENSON, Catherine Ellen
Record Type: Deaths
Quarter: March
Year: 1864
District: <http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/reg/chs.htm#macc>Macclesfield
County: Cheshire
Volume: 8a
Page:

Had a VERY quick look at the 1881 but no obvious candidates.

Images sent off list.

Hope this helps
