Thank you maddie.
I realise that he could have been born over the border in Somerset and have the West Anstey information but I am trying to eliminate either Molland (3miles from W A) or Knowstone.

My 4x gr grandfather Thomas Lock died in West Anstey in 1798 and his gravestone shows died in his 7(?)th year.
I have been using Family search to create a database of all Locks baptised or married in the parishes around West Anstey and have found two Thomases who may fit the bill. In Knowstone 1720 and Molland 1727
My problem is where can I find suitable burial records in order to eliminate the one who may have died in the same parish as he was born? None were born in West Anstey.
Can anyone help please.
Alan
