Hello Rutti,
Thanks for all that information with all the websites relating to South Africa. I have been through them all. However, the Genealogy World website gave a list of British Settlers - i.e. Surname List with numbers relating to "Page". Esme Bull - Aided Immigration from Britain to South Africa 1857-1867, transcribed by Ellen Stanton - I have found some names which I think may be relevant but how on earth do I check those Pages. There is no link at all. I wondered if you were able to shed some light on it for me.
Many thanks

Hi there
Who are you looking for - I have access to other databases as well. I think there was a Cornish migration scheme to Kimberley. Let me see what I can find for you - as much detail as possible.
Thanks
Ruth

Take care.

Most interesting - I have a nephew who is interested in his Cornish descent in South Africa. His name is Friggens. They were also miners - does that name appear on any of those lists?

Leanne,
I can confirm that the information you gave me above are my descendants. I'm so thrilled and thank you for your wonderful help.
I am still awaiting more details from rellies in South Africa, but I'm ecstatic, to say the least.  . At last, I have something concrete to go on.
Regards
CP

I have now been able to ascertain, through research, (and those wonderful people in the Chatroom  - thank you, thank you), that Enoch Warren James UREN died in 1847, as I could not work out why he didn't show up on the Passenger List with Mary, his wife. I subsequently found out that he and Mary had other children and I am guessing that because they were the older children, they were married and/or decided not to travel to South Africa.
I would love to know if anyone can link up these particular Uren's who either stayed in Cornwall or moved elsewhere. They are the older children of Enoch Warren James UREN and Mary UREN (born MARTIN):
Mary UREN born 12 July 1835
John UREN born 6 May 1838
Grace Martins UREN born 25 December 1831
Look forward to any information.

Wonderful, wonderful news. Martywillis, one of our members, has been such a tremendous help, as has our whoopzadaizi too. They have been instrumental in helping me find a couple of cousins. 1st cousins too, I might add.
I just wanted to say a very special thank you to Rutti for the Esme Bull information and to Marty for all her wonderful help. Thanks to Daizi too and to everyone of those wonderful PEEPS in the Chatroom - what a great bunch. I will keep you updated with more information about the tree when I have heard from the other links (cousins).
Hugs
CP (smiling from ear to ear)

Hi,
I wondered if you could help me too.
I am looking for Richard Eddy born Pendeen, Cornwall 10th July 1871, he is not on any census 1891 or 1901 in the UK
I know that he was a gold miner from his death certificate in 1902 but I admit I don't know where. 
Regards Amber.

G'day Amber,
I wish I could help you but I haven't the foggiest idea about research. Everything I've done has been hit and miss and sheer luck. LOL. Why don't you pop into the Chatroom. There are so many wonderful, eager people who will help you. Just try it and you'd be surprised. Loads of help in there all the time. They're all extremely friendly and very helpful too.
Hope to see you there soon.
CP
