Apparently John d. 1848 Alverstoke, which needs confirming..

John had died by 1851 census.

Graves/Greaves probably his side in Scotland.

Amelia was a widow in 1851, there is a death for a John in Alverstoke 1848, 7, 24..

This was lucky.

John Cunningham was appointed a Surgeon in the Royal Navy on 23 June 1796. He was Surgeon of the Veteran at the surrender of the Dutch fleet in the Texel in 1799, and at Copenhagen in 1801; and in the Gibraltar at the attack on the French fleet in Basque Roads in 1809. He was married to Amelia, daughter of Dr Alexander Young, R.N., ‘a talented and meritorious officer who was for many years Surgeon of George the Third’s yacht’, and their son, Henry Duncan Preston Cunningham, was appointed a Paymaster in the Royal Navy in 1852. Surgeon John Cunningham was of an old family in Annandale, which traces its descent from a junior branch of the Glencairn family. He died at the commencement of 1848.

Annandale is a strath [river valley] in Dumfries and Galloway.

I can't find a Cunningham to Graves/Greaves marriage on SP.

No other Cunninghams with that middle name in Hampshire on Hugh Wallis site.
