Your first few lines have helped me sort it out - partially!

Aside from the B KEAR born 1873 Abenhall, there are only 4 Benjamin KEARs on this website:

1 Son of John and Elizabeth, born 1728
2 Son of William and Eleanor, born 1761 or 1762 or 1763 (all are there!)
3 Son of Richard and Hester, born 1794
4 Son of Benjamin and Charlotte, born 1829

The marriages shown are 1788, presumably BK number 2; 1816 presumably BK number 3; and 1849 BK number 4, son of BK number 3. Number 1 does not appear to have married.

Burials are 1836 aged 72, must be of BK number 2; 1790 must be of BK number 1.

Now I am unable to find the burials of BK number 3, the one of principal interest to me, or of his son BK number 4. The father never appears on a census, the son appears on the 1841 and 1851 census and then disappears.
