What about Esther Wilson Yourn Lanchester DQ 1878? I believe her mother was christened Mary Uren in Chacewater, Truro in 1854. I think you'll find her family there in 1841 but they appear to have left by 1851. Many Cornish miners were migrating to the Durham coalfield at that time. Young is not a Cornish name so I've been hunting for alternatives. When a child was born before marriage it was often given the names of both parents.
I joined the forum, a couple of days ago, after finding your request for info on James Wilson and Ann Reay. They are my ggg gparents. How did you get on with the search for their parents? I might be able to help.
PS Urens are still in Chacewater, Kenwyn, Truro in 1851 census. Have you seen the free Cornwall Online Census Project?

My gggmother was a Reed too...some coincidence! My ggfather's birth in 1849 has not been easy to find (more if you are interested). I believe his mother was Elizabeth Reed b 1828 in Slatyford. That would have been Slatyford pit village near Walbottle. I think her parents were Thomas and Isabella. I'm wondering if there could be a connection. What birth date have you for your gggfather Thomas? And when was his photo taken? Think me mad but I have family photos of several generations of Reed men back to the mid-1880s and don't think I'm imagining a likeness to your Thomas. As they say in the NE 'Shy bairns get nowt'

Glad I could help. I'm descended from Thomas Wilson, the second son. He was a stonemason like his father. He married Elizabeth Rumney and settled in Dalston. Again, like his father, he died leaving his widow with children to raise. I'll send you a personal message.
