Richard Vause appears in genealogical records as a man from Lincolnshire, England, but the exact person you mean is unclear because the records are inconsistent. One record says a Richard Vause was born around 1620, married Jaine Fish, had five children, and died in Belton; another record lists a Richard Vause born around 1645 with death around 1689 and names him as the son of Richard Vause and Jaine Fish.

What likely happened

The most likely explanation is that the earlier Richard Vause died in Belton, while his son carried the same name and appears in later family records. That kind of name reuse was common in family lines from this period, which can make “what happened to him?” hard to pin down from a single record.

Best reading of the records

  • Richard Vause, born about 1620, likely married Jaine Fish and died in Belton.
  • A second Richard Vause, probably his son, was born about 1645 and died about 1689.
  • Because the records are genealogical summaries rather than a full biography, they do not explain a specific cause of death or life event.

Bottom line

If you mean the older Richard Vause, the available record suggests he died in Belton after marrying Jaine Fish and having children. If you mean the younger one, he appears to have lived into the late 1600s and died around 1689.
