Richard Uren from Cornwall.I have some Urens on my family tree and some details seem to match. Edmund Uren b 15 July 1830 Ludgvan Cornwall- father William and mother Jane Holman. According to family legend Edmund and brother Richard went to America in 1849 to the copper mines of Lake Superior. Edmund returned alone to Cornwall and married Elizabeth Hancock James in 1854. I think he returned to America first and then migrated to Ballarat Victoria Australia in 1856. His wife came out separately in 1857 with her sister in law. They had 12 children but only 4 lived to adulthood. Edmund was in mining in Ballarat. Richard was thought to have stayed in the US and went to California. That is all we know of Richard. A lot seems to match. What do you think?
