Robert Moore and Elizabeth Epplett

[Phoenix]

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.
