  G'day everyone.  I'm happy to report that I have now had contact from two 1st cousins, one whose Mum is my Dad's sister and the other one's father is my Dad's brother.  Whoohoo, it's all happening.

The information I now have is as follows:

Enoch Warren James UREN (born 1808 in Gulvall, Cornwall) married Mary MARTIN (born about 1811 in Cornwall).  Married in Cornwall 7 March 1831.
They had the following children:

Grace Martins Uren (born 1831 - Illogan, Cornwall)
Enoch James Uren (born 1832 - Gulvall, Cornwall)
Mary Uren (born 1835)
John Uren (born 1838)
William Martin Uren (born 1841)
Ricard Uren (born 1842)
Elizabeth Uren (born 1845

Enoch Warren James Uren died in Cornwall in 1847.

Enoch James Uren married Louisa CORIN in Cornwall 30 June 1858.
They emigrated to South Africa on the ship "Edward Oliver" in Sept. 1858.

Mary Uren (the mother) emigrated to South Africa on the ship "Jalawar" in December 1859 together with the following children:

William Martin Uren
Richard Uren
Elizabeth Uren
Thomas Uren (son of Enoch James Uren)

I am still awaiting information about the other children, namely:
Mary Uren
John Uren
Grace Martins Uren

 as I don't know whether they stayed in Cornwall or emigrated elsewhere.

William Martin Uren (my great-grandfather) married Elizabeth Mary WILLIAMS) (date unknown at this stage) and they had the following children:

James Uren born 1878
William Martin Uren born 1880
Mary Jane Uren born 1882
Elizabeth Uren born 1884
Ellen Uren born 1887
Richard Edward Uren born 1889
Margaret Ann Uren born 1891
Edwin James Uren born 1894
Charles Henry Uren born 1896
Beatrice Ellen Uren born 1899

The above were all born in South Africa

Charles Henry Uren was my grand-father.
He married Martha Maud NICHOLAS.

I cannot list their children as they are all living, except 2 who have died.

I am still awaiting more information so will update the Board when it comes to hand.

I BIG, big thank you to ALL of you who have helped me thus far.  Without the help of you all and especially Daizi and Martywillis, I would not have got this far.

1841 census, Bosvenning, Gulval, HO 107/142/1 11/14

Enoch Uren, 30, labourer,
Mary, 30
Enoch, 6
Mary, 4
John, 3
William, 2M
Eliza Mathews, 20, female servant
Mary Martin, 40
(all born Cornwall)

I think they've moved to Madron in 1851:

HO 107/1918 483/15
Wesley Row, Madron
Mary Uren, widowed, 39, laundress, b. Madron
James, son, 18, Carrier's Apprentice, b. Madron
Mary, dau, 15, Laundress, b. dit
John, son, 13, Miller's Boy, b. dit
William, son, 9, Farmer's Boy, b. dit
Richard, son, 7, Scholar, b. Gulval
Elizabeth, dau, 6, Scholar b. Gulval

The IGI shows Enoch Sr. baptised as just Enoch James Uren, in 1808, to John Uren and Elizabeth.  You probably also want to look at www.cornwalleng.com, which has many records for Gulval.  Later baptisms for Enoch and Mary Martin's children show their residence as Trescrowan, and there are an Elizabeth, died Jul 22 1839 aged 57, and a John, died Mar 20 1847 aged 76, who give the same residence.

freecen.rootsweb.com also shows a John Uren whose address is, like Enochs, Bosvenning, aged 70 and with several of his children (their christenings are in cornwalleng)

G'day Jorose and thank you for all that information.  I have spent almost a day trying to find things on www.cornwalleng.com and it gives me "No Matches found".  I just know that I am not doing it right - I also tried freecen.rootsweb.com and I get so lost I don't know where I started .  So, I'm not progressing at all.  I really need someone to help me - anybody??  Please, pretty please.

I don't mean to sound "blonde" but I am still trying to learn how to research and it's not easy.

I was trying to find Enoch Snr's parents and looks like you have told me who they are.  John and Elizabeth Uren?  Now all I have to do is find this information on the internet.  By the way, what does IGI mean ?

Thanks very much Jorose.  Your help was much appreciated.

By the way, what does IGI mean

The IGI is the International Genealogical Index.
