Thanks Stuart.I gather you are in Australia, since your ancestor Edward went to South Australia in 1855.
I did a check on Ancestry.co for the 1851 census for son Richard b 1828 and he is in Carwitham, Otterham, a farmer of 450 acres employing 4 men.He is 26 b Trewen.His wife Mary is 23 born in Stratton.No children, but 2 servants and 3 farm labs listed.
From IGI, Richard PARNELL married Mary CONGDEN 22 Feb 1851 in Poundstock; he was 26 and she was 23
By 1861 census he appears do have died because his widow Mary PARNELL age 33 is boarding with Thomas & Christian PARNELL (age 61 & 59; he is a Grocer) at Trewen.Her occupation is "Independent (Farmers W)" and she was born at Stratton.
FreeBMD provides a death in Dec 1857 quarter in Launceston district (includes Trewen) for a Richard PARNELL.
Re your question if Richard P's 3rd wife is related to Margaret Venning through her mother Elizabeth Burnard, I can't help because I have nothing more on Elizabeth.
I do have some background on the earlier Joan BURNARD, our common ancestor.She was bapt 26 Dec 1672 in Alternon, dau of Robert BURNARD & Elizabeth DENIS, who married 22 Apr 1663 Altarnon.Robert was buried 6 Feb 1714/5,he left a will which I have. Children: Richard 1664 (left 40sh/yr in father's will); Joan 1672 ("dau Joan Venning" left 20sh/yr in father's will, "Christopher Vening right to South Carne", she was buried 18 May 1759 Alternon); John (married Margaret MEAGER 1702 Bodmin, "dau-in-law Margaret Burnard 10sh" in his father's 1714 will but no mention of John , so likely deceased); Robert 1676-1767 (m Alice SHEER 1704, he was left 10sh/yr in father's will, age 91 at burial); George 1681-1721 (married Joan, he was executor of father's will).
Next generation back:Robert BURNARD & Mary. Robert was buried 1644 Altarnon.Will.To wife Mary, 5 children Tamsin, Jane, George, Robert, Thomas. Son John exec (underage).
Next generation back:Thomas BURNARD & Mary.They both died about the same time as son Robert.
