The only child that might possibly be with Richard and Martha on the 1841 census is...

Thomas Pooley Prynn born 1819 Menheniot, Cornwall

All their other children are accounted for.

Have you got Thomas's marriage to Catherine Parsons? One of the witnesses is a William Pryn and Richard is down as a Labourer which cold mean in a mine.

Yes thank you Mel.

The only two things I don't have is the blooming 1851 and 1841 census records.

Sooo frustrating!

I would have liked to have known more about Martha.

If it hadn't stated "Widow" I might have been more convinced.
