Hi, I know this will not help with your family history but I must tell you that my wife and I wrote regularly to a Mrs Uren a lovely lovely lady who lived on St Michaels Mount until ill health caused her to move to Marazion. We met her almost every year for about 20 years and exchanged small gifts etc. I do not have the exact years we were friends but it was approx 1970 -1990ish she was very proud of the fact her late husband was the main player in keeping the causeway in good repair and often said he actually built part of it. Regards Tom

Hello Sparksmex

It's always good to hear from any UREN descendant and to obtain details of their ancestors.  Thanks for all your input.  I will see what I can "connect" and when I do, I will get back to you.  There are SO MANY branches out there and it's hard work trying to tie them all up but without the support of everyone like yourself, the job will never be accomplished. 

Please PM me with your email address and let's stay in touch.

Regards,
CP

ltlgto .... don't know where you or your side of the family are and you didn't list following Stephen who headed to California.   You still might be interested in this family foto in San Francisco 1915.  Sorry for my grandmothers use of Grandpa and Grandma to describe the foto

Also interesting the Denny connection in Seattle.  Our family lived in Seattle for many years and the women would spend winters in Seattle around the turn of the century while the men toughed it out in the Alaska gold rush

My family is located in Washington State and most have been in the Pacific NW for many years. It seems that many of the Urens migrated to the West Coast. Is that your blog? Because I was actually looking at this earlier today for the first time.
What is your grandmothers name? Mine is Marguerite Winola U'Renn. I think her father Percival was the first to use 2 NN's in the surname. Why, I don't know. My gr. gr. grandfather Andrew James Uren was in Seattle because I believe all of his children were born there.
I remember my grandmother saying that there were relatives in both California and Alaska.

Glad we have made a connection!
