Cornish to the Core
Mary had Eliza Veryan Baptised 13 July 1817.Base child reputed father John WHITMAN. Assistant Officer of the Customs a base child, She was not of Veryan
With that in mind I looked at Gerrans and there are two illegitimate births with Mary as a mother.
Mary born in the poorhouse in 1819 to mother Mary a pauper and Joseph born 1822 at Churchtown, Gerrans and mother is a single woman.
It is possobel that Joseph dies in 1823 at the same address.
Is it possible that the 3 are related?
Is there anyway of finding records of customs officers?
Added:
There is a James Peters baptised 1814 a base child -mother Mary , living at St Just Lane,St Just-in-Roseland,
 
Oh dear, you may be lucky to see any records on 'Custom's Men', seems they were not popular at all.
I keyed in to Google "Customs Officers in Cornwall 1800s" & learned a bit. Have a look. Not as it was in Liverpool happily.

If you have time watch Tony Robinson's video.
 
Don't know if this will help.

I think you will that your enquiry back in 2018 found that Eliza Peters father was transcribed as William Whitmar (FMP re Chimp) There is a marriage on Cornwall OPC for Eliza Peters, Veryan, 1838, to Peter Truen, widower, and her father is said to be William Hatchman, a tide waiter. Other research has him as William Watchman

I sent for the marriage certificate quite a while ago and it had William Watchman as her father and he was a tide writer.
 
I wonder if the children in post 1 are related because of Eliza baptised in Veryan and Mary was not of Veryan and the other children were baptised in Gerrans.
The family seem to be around Gerrans.
