Thanks very much for your help.
The 1815 year of birth for Peter (Trowan) Truen on the Veryan site is different from everywhere else so I don't think it can be correct, and therefore don't think listing his father as Peter Truen b:1790 is correct either. I've been searching for years on and off and am completely stuck I'm afraid. I was hoping someone else would have researched the same tree and had more joy than me.
I'm interested to know which of my ggrandfathers brothers or sisters you descend from. This is what I have for John Thomas Truan and my grandfather Alfred Augustus Truan:
