A couple of quick questions:
Do you have a latest known date and location for Mary being alive (such as baptism of children)?
Do you know where husband Samuel died?

This would help narrow the search (allowing for inaccurate reporting of age I looked on FamilySearch for deaths 1754 onwards in Devon for Mary born 1730-1750 and got 97 hits)

Nice find.

That knocks around six years off the search for a death.

Hello all, The Mary Lake is the mother of Mary Lake jnr, born 9/8/1759 and baptised 11/3/1761 who married John Laimbeer, her parents are Samuel Lake (Taylor by trade) 22/4/1733 Crediton married Mary Green by Banns 19/9/1754 Great Torrington, Samuel Lake burial 8/1/1781 Great Torrington, and his wife Mary Lake (Green) baptised 19/9/1739. I have found 3 possibilities of her burial as her parents were a Roger Green and Dorothy Knill. Samuel Lake's parents Samuel Lake and Mary Hall married 1/2/1726 Crediton, another Mary Lake to find the right burial for. :-[ :-\
