I can't come up with the marriage for John Prouse and Mary Jane nor confirm Mary Jane's last name.

Are there any relations out there?

Possibly Mary Jane GENDALL. Married John Prowse 4 Jul 1868 Gulval. Both age 20. It's in OPC and freeBMD

Mary Jane Gendall it is.

Details can be found in the OPC records as mentioned by tenpoundpom and the birth record for Jane is in the GRO Index (December Qtr Vol 5c Page 326 Penzance). The Birth Index shows the mother's maiden name as 'Gendale'.

The OPC also has the baptism record for their daughter Jane - 6th January 1869 at Pendeen.

And an added bonus - you will also find baptisms for daughter Elizabeth Ann (1871) and son John (1872) in the OPC records.

Thank you all!

No wonder I wasn't able to find anything!
Census records here say that Elizabeth Ann was born in New Jersey and son John in Pennsylvania!
That's why I wasn't going to use Mary Jane Gendall...
Ok, I will use the info you wonderful people have researched.
