Hi Adrian, According to the Devon Wills Project http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/DEV/DevonWillsProject/ there was a Benjamin Vanstone of Iddesleigh, whose estate was administered in 1785. Unfortunately there is no way to find out any other info re the Will. But hopefully if this is your Benjamin you at least have an idea of about what date to start looking for a Burial.

Hello Tim Thank you very much for your help. That means Benjamin died sometime betweem 1777 (the year before his son Tristerem was baptised) and 1785.

Hi Adrian, I have a burial at Iddesleigh on 03 Dec 1785 of a Benjamin Vanstone. This has been obtained from another tree on Ancestry and I have not checked the information. They have it as the burial of a Benjamin born in Dowland in 1711. It sounds more likely to be your Benjamin. Hope this helps.

Hello Ruth Thank you for your suggestion. I suspect that "my" Benjamin did not die c 1785 after all! I have just located a number of baptisms in nearby Winkleigh of children of Benjamin and Thomasin VANSTONE between 1781 and 1790. It therefore appears that Benjamin must have died sometime between say 1780 and 1816. I have e-mailed the OPC for Winkleigh to see if she has any record of his burial in Winkleigh. My connection with Benjamin VANSTONE is through his wife Thomasin whose maiden name was WEEKS. It is the first time for quite a while since I have looked at this family!

Hi Adrian, There are two Benjamin Vanstone Burials on FMP. 3rd Dec 1785 - Where Dowland - Notes Iddesleigh 24th Nov 1799 - Where Dowland - Notes Winkleigh - Age 60 The second one is more likely to be yours then, as giving Winkleigh as presumably place of abode when died. Transcripts are by the Devon Family History Society, so can contact them for any queries/questions or copies of the actual Register entry.
