I think we can trace ownership/occupation of the house from:
William ARTHUR right down to his descendant Elizabeth Jane JAMES
The Tithe map of Torleven shows No. 9 (House & Orchard) being owned and occupied by ARTHUR,William

this William ARTHUR (below) seems to have a connection with “MERTHLEIGH” (METHLEIGH)

1841 Census – Torleaven, Sithney, Helston, Cornwall, England

Household Members First name(s) Last name Sex Age Birth year Birth place

William Arthur Male 80 1761 Cornwall, England

Grace Pollard Female 20 1821 Cornwall, England
NOTE:

In the 1841 census, the age of persons over 15 was supposed to be rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5.

For example, a person aged 19 would be listed as 15, a person aged 22 would be listed as age 20, and a person age 59 would be listed as 55. In practice, many census officials either did not round down at all or only rounded down for higher ages, such as over 20, or (less frequently) rounded down ages below 15. In general, the age of a person under 15 is probably accurate to within a year or two. For persons over 15, any age that is not a multiple of 5 is likely also to be accurate – for example, if a person is listed as 27, he or she probably really is 27 or thereabouts, rather than 25. The area you have to be careful of is persons over age 15 whose age is a multiple of 5 – they may be up to 4 years older than their census listing shows – so if your ancestor is listed as 50, remember that he or she is likely actually between the ages of 50 and 54 inclusive. This, of course, does not even take into account the errors made by census officials and family members reporting the ages of others ! Finally, if the age of a person was unknown, children were supposed to be recorded as “under 20” and adults as “over 20”.

PEVERELL HOUSE, No. 30 Peverell Road

Jacky BOWDEN was the first member of the BOWDEN family to live here.
After his death in 1935, his daughter Jane inherited the lease and bought the freehold
from the Penrose estate and then sold it Jack BOWDEN’s grandson – George TRESIZE (1907-1994).

___

The SPEARMAN siblings are the fifth generation of the family to own PEVERELL HOUSE
.Everything from about 5 ft upwards was rebuilt by our George TREZISE in the late 1950s to give the family a modern house to live in.
He built on the old walls so that he didn’t have to apply for planning permission; it was classed as a renovation instead.
Parts of the old building can still be seen in some places:
The old house had a passage running right through the middle of it, so that Jacky BOWDEN and his employees could take boatbuilding materials through to the workshop at the back of the house (and back out again) without making the house messy.
A long time ago the land that the Sunday School was built on also belonged to the house. It was a long yard that was used to make rope.
