I think I go for the Stratton Grace being a red herring (though who the devil was she?) and the family's Grace being born in Canada.

Thank you for the 1861 census, Kite - and those death registrations. They must have lived somewhere pretty remote. Curious that both father and son died so close, of different causes - though caring for one may have diverted attention from the other.

It's feasible that Robert was MY James's son. Frankly, since James is a Martian, he may have come from Devon/Cornwall himself and just settled in Dorset. And since James was allegedly born in 1787, I'm not convinced DNA is the answer.

You would think they would be on either the English 1851 census or the Canadian one, but I can't find them on either.

Ancestry has a Robert More arrival in Ontario 1850, from WHYTE, DONALD. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation. Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society. Volume 1, 1986. But there is no further info. I know it says Scottish but I think it includes some non-Scots.
