Now to me the John Dunstone 2 in 1841 & 12 in 1851 might be one and the same. Samuel could also be a son, not a "visitor"

Aliza (19) I'm thinking is Eliza (9) now married to Nicholas.

Ann Dunstone (1820) married Samuel Cappel on 8 May 1842 in Gwinear and lived at Roseworthy.

Welcome to the site Tony.

Now to me the John Dunstone 2 in 1841 & 12 in 1851 might be one and the same. Samuel could also be a son, not a "visitor"

I would think it is more likely these two were either grandsons of Henry and Ann or, perhaps, nephews.

If you look at 1841 note that there is a gap of seven years between the last two children and note also that Ann is then age 45. As ages for adults in 1841 were usually rounded down to the nearest five this means that she could have been older.
Then look at 1851 where Ann is age 58 and you will see that she would have been around 48 in 1841.

I work on about 48 as the maximum age for women to have children back then and I find that is mostly correct.
Samuel in 1851 was age 8 which means a birth around 1842 or 1843 at which time Ann would have been in her early 50s. So with John and Samuel both 'visitors' in 1851 I think grandsons or nephews is almost certainly the likely relationship. And if John is indeed the same child in both 1841 and 1851 then the same applies.

Not sure what else you are looking for here so if you could elaborate I will take a look for you.

Ta for the advice CT, I'll take that on board with my family tree research, something I overlooked.

That would tend to point to another brother if they're grandchildren & it throws it open if they're nephews, shame the Census is silent of such things.

I'm not looking for anything concrete at the moment, just trying find the time to look at the advice & tips here to see how I can expand my knowledge/understanding of my mother's Cornish family. I have got a fairly clear picture of the late 1800s and 1900s here in Australia.

I'd love to locate a living relative. I have done so with my father's Irish family but that was a lot easier as he was born there and there was only a gap of 70 years with 1st hand knowledge from my dad, not 150-170 years as is the case with the Capel/Dunstone families.

The hunt is the fun.

The hunt is the fun indeed!

Tony - be aware that there is a lot of Parish Register information still not transcribed or otherwise available online but there are people, such as myself, who do have access to some of that information.
Another thing to be aware of, particularly from that late 1700s, is that not all events took place in the Established Church. Many baptisms and even some burials were performed by Non-conformist ministers and a lot of those registers are still not available and quite a number are lost.
With Marriages from 1837 onwards you also have the Non-conformist situation but there is the added problem of the advent of Registry Office Marriages. In this case you need to look at FreeBMD where you should at least find some registration information given that all events, no matter where performed, had to be recorded in a central registry.

Other than that - just holler if you have a query or need a bit of help.
