Hi all, On the wonderful Cornwall database I have found what could be the burial of my JOHN UREN aged 58 at Long Rock. Transcribed by Bill Curnow. Wikepedia tells me where Long Rock is, but my question is: My John Uren was a miner at Chacewater - would there have been any copper mines in Long Rock in 1852 that may have tempted him to move? He was married to Ann/Nanny (nee Hawke) with 10 kids and I understand that he 59 on the 1851 census but absent from the 1861. Freebdm has 2 possible deaths: 1. June Q 1852 at Truro 2. March Q 1855 at Truro neither of which match the one at Long Rock. I have a couple of options for John's birth/christening and can't decide on that either :-) I am pretty sure he was born/chr 1792 to 1795. Marg A in Oz

Marg, I believe you are referring to the John UREN, 58, of Long Rock, who was buried at Ludgvan on 18 Dec 1852. In my opinion, this man was the son of James UREN & Anne NICHOLLS who was baptized at Gulval on 14 Jun 1795. He was married at Gulval on 07 Apr 1822 to Elizabeth CORIN, and they had two children prior to her death in 1827. He then married Alice THOMAS at Madron on 18 Nov 1831, and they had at least 8 children. John and family lived at Long Rock at the 1841 and 1851 Census. He was described as a farmer in 1841 and as a farm labourer in 1851. Long Rock is a community that straddles the parishes of Ludgvan and Gulval. It is located on the flat, fertile coastal land along the shore of Mounts Bay. Two major occupations of people living at Long Rock in the 19th century were farming and market gardening and also jobs associated with the GWR that ran through Long Rock on its final approach to Penzance.
