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.
