Not sure how came before this , but I know my Great Grandfather was Christopher Vanstone from the Devon area(not sure of his birth year.)
I know Christopher's first wife died leaving him with several children.
Then he married Mary Ann Martin and had 3 more kids. Samuel Vanstone b.1886(my Grandfather), Albert Vanstone b.1891 and Will Vanstone were their children.
Samuel and Albert migrated to Canada around 1916
Like his father, Samuel's first wife died after their son Albert was born in Brandon, MB.
Samuel remarried to Ellen Pugsley, originally also from Devon, but had emigrated with her parents to Brandon. They moved to Winnipeg an had Emily (married to A.Kemp), Muriel (married to L.Knight), Verna (married to R.Evans), Stanley (deceased at 6 months), Samuel (Marty) Vanstone, and Robert Vanstone (my dad) b.1938.
