origins of urey in Bolivia, S. America

I would like to know about the origins of the Urey last name. I've heard that it is from the Isle of Wight but also that it is Irish?Ą
My greatgrandfather was Ernesto Urey, from Bolivia, South America. A cousin of his, Daniel Salamanca Urey, was President of Bolivia in the 1930's. It is said that the first Urey that came to Bolivia, came in the first half of the 1800's with an Irish batallion to fight with Simon Bolivar in the struggle for Independence. How could I confirm this theory?
I hope that any one that can help me in my query contacts me.
thanks
Valia Carvalho Urey
