I have an interesting story also and I would be looking for assistance available to ensure that I have come to the right conclusion.
In 1868 at Hokitika in New Zealand, Joseph Glasson married Sarah Greer Vaughan. Joseph, I believe, was the son of Joseph Glasson and Marianne Kneebone of Camborne and was born around 1840. Joseph appears in the 1841, 51 and 61 census and then does not appear again (unless you have access to the 1911 census).
In the 'land of the long white cloud' (New Zealand) Joseph and Sarah had 9 children, the last in 1884 and the birth of the youngest daughter was on the same day as the death of Sarah. The descendants of these children are still on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand today, in particular Glasson's honey is still made in the old coal mining town of Blackball - where incidentally I had a magnificent plate of bangers and mash just before Christmas there at a pub called - wait for it, the full name - "Formerly the Blackball Hilton". ;D ;D
Story has it that Joseph at some stage returned to Cornwall leaving his family behind in New Zealand. As it happens it does appear as if a certain Mr J. Glasson, miner, returned to England from NZ in June 1902 on board the "Athenic", he was aged 62, making his birth 1840. This would also explain why this Joseph did not appear in the 1901 census.
In the 1911 census (I had to pay to see this
) a 70 year Joseph, born in Camborne, is living at 11 Carnarthen Street in Camborne with his 71 year old wife Johanna, however there is a note saying that they have been married for only 5 years.
Well almost, nearly seven, as Joseph Glasson married Johanna Sincock in the June quarter of 1904. Also of note is that this Johanna died not long after the 1911 census in the June quarter of 1912.
So finally, a Joseph Glasson, aged 78, died at the Avondale Villas, Connor Downs in Gwithian on the 25th September 1918, a retired gold miner, cause of death happened to be - Chronic Interstitial Nephritis.
The informant present at the death was a niece J. Glasson.
To me it all seems to fit. There is no death for this Joseph in New Zealand. I would appreciate any comments.

That would make her the Joanna baptised at Gwinear on the 25th September 1836. She appears in the 1841 and 1851 census living at home in Connor Downs with both her parents in 41 and her mother in the 1851 census.
