Notes from Colin Paul's research:
Roger Vivian who married Ellen Bennett was a yeoman of Camborne, they had 8 children all baptised in Camborne.
The records below convinced me that Roger Vivian, the husband of Ellen Bennett was the son of John and Elinor Vivian of Camborne and not Haniball Vyvyan of Trelowarren.
Pendarves. Family of Pendarves

Octave of the purification 1629
Parties: 1) Richard Pendarves, gentleman and Richard Veale , clerk,
Querent 2) Roger Vivian, deforciant. Consideration: £60 sterling. Three messuages, three gardens, 26 acres of land, 10 acres of downs and heath, 6 acres of moor and common pasture in Tolgarrick, Penzance, Camborne and Illogan.
Tolgarrick Farm was held by the Vivian family for over 250 years. Francis Vivian, Agent to the foundry at Tuckingmill was living there on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Census for Camborne.
In March 1642 at Camborne Roger Vivian signed The Oath of Protestation ( Oath of loyalty, ostensibly to the King, but in fact to Parliament, initiated in the House of Commons in May 1641.)
His brother Henry Vivian also signed at the same time.
The other convincing point is Haniball Vyvyan of Trelowarren never had a son named Henry.
Marriage Information:
Roger married Ellen BENNETT, daughter of William BENNETT and Ann, on 25 Oct 1623 in Camborne, Cornwall 1. (Ellen BENNETT was born about 1602 in Camborne, Cornwall and was buried on 12 Mar 1669 in Camborne, Cornwall 3.)
