burials only, LDS film #254222.
Notes coded to ( ) in body of info:
a. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, Wills and Admons, AP/U/55, LDS film #1471580,
Edmund Uren (also Euren, Yuryon) dp. 28 April 1685. Written 26 August 1684.
Inventory taken 25 November 1684. 1/4 estate to wife Alice, 1/4 to "eldest
son Richard Yuryon and children," 1/4 to son Henry, 1/4 to "Vincent
Yuryon's tow sons (when they are of age)," with their uncles Richard and
Henry to be guardians till they are of age. Sister (not named) to be
maintained.
b. Buried at Towednack 6 Jan 1691/2. Resided at St. Ives.
Will written 4 Jan 1691/2; inventory taken 9 January and gives Richard's
death date as the 4th. (Note: will names daughter Alice and son Henry;
Alice survived her father by only 6 days).
c. International Genealogical Index, England, Cornwall, Extracts of
various Cornish parish registers.
d. Henry is "of Gwinear" in the administration bond of his father (1685),
and in the will of his brother (1691/2). He appears to be the man who
married Florance in 1675, but although he remained in Gwinear, no children
are recorded for this couple. In his father's will, both brothers are
referred to as having children, but not Henry.
e. Deceased by August 1684, when his father's will is written. Living in July
1682, when named in the will of his father-in-law. Since both the parish
register and the Bishop's transcripts are missing for the year 1682, but
the latter exists for both 1683 and 1684, with no burial of Vincent recorded,
it can be assumed that Vincent died late in 1682.
f. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/N/353, Will of John Nicholas alias Trevorow,
dp. 22 October 1683. Written 20 July 1682. Names daughter Honor, wife of
Vencsent Uren and their 4 children Richard, Mary, Thomas and Edmond.
g. St. Uny Lelant, Cornwall, Bishop's Transcripts, LDS film #90272.
h. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, AP/P/1462, Admon of Jane Painter, widow of
Peter Painter. Administration account of Jane Painter, daughter of the
deceased, dated 21 Jun 1680 names 4 brothers-in-law of the administrator.
One of these was Richard Uren, who therefore was married to Peter's
daughter Elizabeth (the other 3 remaining daughters are already proven to
their respective husbands.)
i. Archdeaconry of Cornwall, Wills, Vol. 3-5, Jul. 1716-Aug. 1722, LDS film
#90187, Thomas Bennatts, dp. 19 May 1720. Mentions daughter Christian
Uren. Also "son and three daughters of Edmund Uren." As the latter must
have been Thomas' grandchildren and the first was born early in 1715,
Christian and Edmund were probably married around 1713.
j. This Edmund named a daughter Christian. Although his christening was not
recorded, he must have been the son of Edmund referred to in the will
of Thomas Bennatts (above); since the next son, Thomas Uren, was not
christened until 1721, it is unlikely he was born by April 1720, when
Thomas Bennatts' will was written.
k. The Christian Uren who married Thomas White and died in 1800 could also
be the daughter of Richard and Catherine Uren of Lelant (b. 1720). Either
would have been married in their late 30s (not an uncommon occurance
in west Cornwall), but Christian, daughter of Edmund, would have been a bit
younger. So far there is no concrete evidence to connect Christian Uren
White with either one family or the other.
l. This child's parents are listed as CLEMENT and Christian Uren. There was a
Clement Uren in the parish; however, there is no evidence that he ever had
a wife Christian, and there are no other children recorded for this
"couple." Since this child fits perfectly into the family of Edmund and
Christian, I suspect that the clerk made a mistake in recording the name of
the father.
m. St. Uny Lelant, Cornwall, Churchwarden's Accounts 1722-1800, LDS film
#254226. Two Thomas Urens resided in Lelant; our Thomas paid the rate on
Polpear after the death of Christian Uren, his mother. In the rate list
for 1784-5, Thomas is replaced by "the occupation of Thomas Uren's-
Pulpear." Shortly after, "Pellow and Glasson" his sons-in-law, take over
the rate. The other Thomas "Lelant Town" continues through the end of
the lists. Since two burials of Thomas Urens occur in the P.R., this
analysis of the Churchwarden's Accounts was neccessary to determine which
of the two was ours.
n. The Lelant P.R. lists burials for two Joan Urens, both widows. The first
was buried 13 Jan 1795, just four days after the burial of a Eustace Uren.
Since Eustice also had a wife Joan, this is possibly his widow; they may
have succumbed to a similar illness. The second Joan was buried 19 Mar
1800, and is probably Thomas' widow. Not proven.
o. No Joan Uren is found in the P.R. as a daughter of Thomas and Joan.
However, Joan's marriage record is signed by the same Thomas Uren who
signs the marriages of Christian and Mary. In the Churchwarden's Accounts,
Thomas Uren and his apparent son-in-law, John Pellow, take over the rate
on the Polpear land after the death of Christian Uren, widow of Edmund.
p. Banns published 2, 11 and 16 December 1770. Witnesses were Thomas Uren
(the brides father) and John Edwards. John Glasson signed his name;
Christian signed with an "O".
q. Witnesses were Thomas Uren (the bride's father) and James Hosking. The
groom was a resident of Ludgvan.
r. Witnesses were John Pellow and John Glasson.
