Stocks Benjamin 78 Huddersfield 9a 243
According to the Job W Stocks biography, Benjamin and his wife were buried at their old home.
Benjamin lived and was cared for by his brother Job before he died. According to some family letters, they even shared the same bed.
It seems Benjamin went into a neighbours house, and must have sat in a draft, for when he came home he was complaining of feeling chilly and cold, and later on that night he was seized with pain in his breast and gradualy grew worse up to his death on Friday morning, about 11 O'clock when he died. (See letter from James and Alice Boothroyd).

General Notes
There's only one Benjamin Stocks in Almondbury, and another in Huddersfield who was married to Hannah Barber. Benjamin seems to have stopped having his children baptised after George in 1825 (except for Ann in 1837, 7 years after she was born). The birth of Joseph (his last child) in 1838 confirms the mother as CAMPINOT.
Benjamin was a Cloth Dresser from Berry Brow until at least 1841 (when he was 40), and later perhaps a mechanic and worked in the factories of Yorkshire, never travelling to the US (c.f. Job W. Stocks biograpohy).
In 1841, Benjamin Stocks (40) was at Berry Brow with sons George (16) and James (14). Wife Sarah was not with him.
In 1851, Benjamin and Sarah Stocks (54 & 53) were back together at 1543 Berry Brow with sons James (23) and Joseph (12). Amos Heely and Emanuel Jepson families were neighbours (with possible DNA connections).
