Hoping to link with someone researching same family line. Richard Dennis b 1799 Cornwall, married Rebecca Glubb (1). Children Mary Elizabeth b 1823, Rebecca Jane b 1826, Rachel Agnes b 1830, John b 1832, Anna b?. Dates all approx. Richard was a builder/carpenter. Most of family based in Tavistock, Devon. Richard's father was James Dennis, a miner, Cornwall. Related family surnames (the married names of children)...Doble, Vosper, Seager, Marshall.
Richard married a second time, Mary Tregellas in appx 1842.
Any links would be really appreciated. I'm in NZ and it is a bit daunting trying to research from this distance!!!!

Robyn, please excuse me butting in, but have you tried searching other people's trees using "search trees" above? Someone might see your thread who is related but it's not very likely, sadly.
Most people do the bulk of their research online so you won't be at too much of a disadvantage!
If you have specific queries, you can post them on here and those of us who try to lend a hand can look for stuff or point you in the right direction.

Wonder if that's Richards mother with them on the 1841 census.
