How have you gone with this?
I am struggling with John Male born c1811 and shipped to South Australia 1849. Both Lavinia and Mary his daughters married Pethicks.
I , like yourselves , looked at Cornwall OPC and could only see a Mary born to John and Anne Calecoat. But I had also seen John arrive unmarried and a hint that Marys Mother was Phillipa Allen. Searching FindMyPast I have all these -John marrying Phillipa , Lavinia and Mary born in Lanteglos by Camelford?
My original John was the 1809 born to William and Elizabeth , yet a marriage at age 13 to Anne confused. I then switched the 1801 John , but still wasn't happy. So I stopped.
Is John still related to William Bonear ? I have seen a reference to a John Male Marrying a Caroline Hewitson in 1869 where he states his age as 54 and father as William Bonear ( Caroline was 22) . I just figured he was a dirty old bugger who adjusted his age as to not seem a , well , dirty old bugger.
Any help much appreciated.

John next marries
Caroline Hewitson (her date of birth is meant to have bean 30 March 1848 but I haven't verified that)(daughter of a William Hewitson)
24 February 1869 - Willunga, South Australia
I haven't got a date of death for Caroline - wonder if she remarried after John's death!!!!
2 Children born to them
William Male Born: 11 March 1870 - Willunga
died: 4 February 1872 - Willunga - Dysentry
Margaret Male Born: 30 March 1872 - Willunga
died: 25 January 1874 - Kadina - I haven't verified this death either so not sure of the cause and also why she died in Kadina its a fair distance from Willunga...
*******************
Again hope this of some value and it certainly would be worth you verifying all the information as this is as I have recorded - some I have been able to check and some still needs some references....
Cheers

ps I would love to know how you get on with it!
