Bawden death record brickwall

Journal by

My brickwall is my gggrandfather William Bawden's death record. The family was living in Menheniot, Cornwall, Eng, as William worked as a miner there, it is natural to think he died there. In a family bible it says he died on 17 Mar 1858 but we can find no record for him.

Same William 1861
Address: Wheal Vor, Breage County: Cornwall
William 1819 Tin Miner Breage, Cornwall
Ann 1811 Miners Wife Wendron, Cornwall

The same couple are in the 1871 census at the same address

And again in the 1881 Census.

What details do you have already on William, ie DOB, place, wife, children. All info would help narrow the search down

A family tree on ancestry.com has death of William Bawden as 17th March 1858, age 35, wife Mary Bartlett. He was born Bridge. He is definitely the William James Bawden whose death is recorded in the April-June quarter of 1858. Andrew.

Thank you once again for the info passed to me.
noggin; no that William is not mine. I do have a lot of info on William but not this death.
William b 1822 bapt 12 Oct 1822 at St Hilary (we are fairly sure this is his bapt)
William married Mary Ann Bartlett 1845 at Perranuthnoe
Their children
Thomas, Honor, John (my ggrandfather), Mary Ann, Edward, Susan Grace and Harry/Henry.
1841 census William is at home with his parents in Perranuthnoe
1851 " William & his family are living at Quethiock
1861 " William has already died so Mary and the family are at Menheniot.

Andrew my William mary Mary Bartlett but he doesn't have James as a second name. I wonder if this is a small mistake in this persons tree?

On the Cornish OPC database site, it lists William's marriage and his father as John BOWDEN.

It also has the baptisms for Honor under BOWDEN as well I wonder if Williams death was recorded as BOWDEN instead of BAWDEN.

possible other baptisms
Thomas Francis 1845 Lewannick
Honor BOWDEN 1847 Altarnun
John 1851 Quethiock
Mary Ann 1851 Quethiock

an
Edward BOWDEN 1852 Duloe

a Mary Grace 1852 St Day but nothing for Susan nor for Harry/Henry

The Parish Records Office may be able to find Williams death.

Thanks asheppard, yes we do know that Honor was bapt as BOWDEN. Thomas Francis, Honor, John & Mary Ann is from our family. I have a cousin who lives in Lancs and he makes trips to the record offices and places in Con and he has had trouble trying to find William's death.
