When did she die?  If she was only b 1863 - is she on the 1901 census index which will help narrow your search

www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk

Was Jewkes/Jukes her maiden name or her married name

Have you looked for the death yourself on freebmd
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

As she may have died in the 1920/30’s, death transcriptions for those years are very thin on the ground so you will need to search the full GRO index  which is available at your nearest main library if you live in the UK.  It can also be searched online if you have an Ancestry subscription or at www.findmypast.com which is a paysite

As I said in my earlier reply - you will have to search the full GRO index.  She was only 39 in 1901 so could have lived for up to another 30 years

Another possibility...if you have searched the full GRO maybe she remarried... try looking for her husbands (Jewkes) death to see if this is possible
I found a Jane Jewkes marriage in 1910 in Dudley???

She was 58 when Benjamin died - remarriage is a possibility which may be why you can't find her death

You may need to search the marriage index from 1921

Have you thought to look under "Dukes"??  Sounds very similar.  Could strike lucky.
