Asides from viewing dmesg logs, does mount keep any records of when a partition has been mounted? perhaps viewing the ctime of the mount target? Does anyone have a definitive command for that?

The system tools for the filesystem you're using should be able to help you with that.
For example with ext2 / ext3 / ext4 there's dumpe2fs:
$ sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 | grep 'Last mount time' Last mount time: Mon Apr 18 18:13:05 2016 (where /dev/sda1 is the partition you're interested in)
- Nice! that works. My problem involves finding information about a cifs mount which doesn't appear work with
