FRANCIS HOCKING UREN, bapt January 3rd, 1790 in Gwinear, Cornwall. He was the son of GEORGE UREN and ELIZABETH UREN (nee HOCKING). He married MARY WATTS June 22nd 1811 in Phillack, Cornwall. He was living in 1846 but dead by 1851 as his wife gives her status as a widow. He seems a very elusive character and I cannot find him in 1841 or any record of his death or burial.

MARY WATTS, bapt March 13th 1790 in Phillack, Cornwall; Living 1851 as a visitor with her sister Jane Watts at Phillack. She was the daughter of MARK WATTS and MARY WATTS (nee HOSKING) of Phillack, Cornwall. She died after 1851.

Elizabeth is living at Ventonleague, Hayle with her mother Mary Uren (nee Watts) and aunt Jane Watts, a few houses from her future husband Jacob Luke (who she married in 1846) and his family. No idea where Francis Uren her father is in 1841 as he is alive in until at least 1846
and dead by 1851.
