Histories

Here are links to histories that give more personal accounts of branches of the family than straightforward genealogical records provide.

Contact me if you have any accounts you would like to add.

• The Vanstones of New Zealand. This is abridged from a detailed book (on its way?) by Carol Bell.
• The Mystery of the Vanstone Vinyard in New Zealand - from a newspaper article.
• The Albion Vanstones - descendents of John Vanstone and Urssla White, who emigrated to the USA - adapted from notes by Ida Watt Lynch (great grand-daughter of John and Urssla) - thanks to Brad.
• John Denis Vanstone and the Spreyton line - London and Wales.

Here is another story of interest: the obituary of Canon Bill Vanstone, published in the Independant in 1999. Link here.

And don't forget the history of Buckland Filleigh, by Madeline Jane Taylor.
