I am assisting my Uncle, Donald Sinclair Mayne with his family history research.  Cornelius Main is the Great Grandfather of Donald Mayne.  Cornelius Main's son, Arthur Sinclair Mayne is Donald's Grandfather.  Arthur Mayne's son, Charles (Charlie) Mayne is Donald's father.  I am claiming the orphan Cornelius Mayne on behalf of my Uncle.  Don is in his 80's and requires my assistance with his research.
