Hello Sandra,

Edwin BOTHERAS was baptised on 7th. June 1846 in St. Buryan ..... parents
were William and Catherine, but there was no marriage for this couple in St.
Buryan.

The name BAUER does not appear in St. Buryan ...... and it does not sound
Cornish ...... perhaps Edwin BOTHERAS was a boarder? Or a family friend?

Kindest. Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, australia.
OPC for St. Buryan.
