Ok, although the image quite clearly says 18, 1784-1851 is roughly 77-78 years.  There is a death reg for another Benjamin Cowdroy in 1838:

Jun Qtr 1838
Lambeth Vol 4 Page 259

Although Benjamin & Frances had a son Benjamin who was baptised in 1837 at St John the Baptist, Lambeth, he does not show up with them in the 1841 census unlike sons Samuel and John, nor in any subsequent census anywhere.  So it is likely that the 1838 death is this Benjamin.

In which case, the 1851 burial is probably Benjamin 1784, with a clerical error for age at death.   Purchasing the death certificate would confirm.

Martha is living in Tranmere CHS in 1851 with her sister Harriet Rathbone and her son John Rathbone Cowdroy and daughter Emma.
In 1861 Martha is cited as being born in Scotland and is living in Oxton and Woodchurch.  Her occupation is described as "Gentlewoman in charge of house".
Her son John Rathbone Cowderoy was by this time married to Emma DARLINGTON and had several children.  John was curate of Oxton Parish in Cheshire in 1861.  One of his sons Ernest Darlington Cowdrey married Elizabeth JAMIESON in Nov 1877 in West Kensington.
By 1871 Rev. John R Cowderoy and family were living in Fulham London.

The JAMIESON connection is who I am interested in.  Elizabeth being the daughter of Alexander Jamieson, Contractor but mother unknown.
