One of the witnesses at the marriage was Sarah Mason, if that's any help.

Bits and pieces....
TNA Records of Sun Fire Office MS 11936/511/1069433 19 December 1827 These documents are held at Guildhall Library Contents: Insured: Christian Benzing 6 Old Montague Street Spital Fields chandler and dealer in clocks If it wasn't for the 1812 marriage is would be easy to say Christian (1781) and his wife Ann arrived in the UK around 1820 with any children (inc Christian 1804). They then had three more children here inc your Ann, but the marriage wrecks that if it is the 1781 Christian marrying.

Thanks to Sylvia I have found a way into the marriage database, but I can't find anything!
Have you got your Ann Benzing (1828) in 1841?

I have formulated a theory on my way to work today!! Maybe the Christian who d 1834 was a nephew from Germany (or wherever) newly arrived with wife Ann and produced 3 children as baptised at St Mary's. In which case I don't suppose I'll ever find out the truth!

Thanks Kite - I have been down that route but I don't seem to have kept a record of what I found
 so will have investigate again. Although if I didn't make a note of anything it seems likely that I didn't find anything conclusive...I think that a major problem is that the record keepers of the time heard Benson (their daughters baptism was recorded as Benson) instead of Benzing which doesn't make life any easier!

There is a Sarah Mason widow who married a Thomas Boulton 10 Nov 1817 St Mary Whitechapel and the signature is similar to that witness but not identical.

Sue, to save me wasting time, do you know who the Ann Benzing is who married in 1845?
