OLIVER; Helston, Cornwall; Where is Pentire?

Posted: 26 May 2005 12:03PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: OLIVER, RIXON, DOWNING, BAWDEN
I am trying to determine the parentage of four OLIVER children: Iris, Charles, Clarace, and Kathleen. The parents are said to have been cousins to each other and either Annie (DOWNING)BAWDEN [1860 - 1920] or her husband, William BAWDEN [1860 - 1926].

Daughter Kathleen was blind. Later in life, she married Mr. RIXON. She and her sister, Iris, are buried in Helston, Cornwall, England.

I did find a Charles OLIVER in the 1881 census living at Pentire. Is this a hamlet? a name of a farm?

I would love to establish the correct connection between these families, as well as to find out what happened to each of them.

Any help appreciated.
