I'm a bit stuck!

I'm trying to find some information on Garfield Uren born in 1893 in Redruth, Cornwall.

He's a bit of a mystery in my family and I'm a bit stuck as to where to go.

I've been told he's son to Alaminta Jennings and her husband who I believe is named Charles Uren. Other than that I can't find anything else.

Any information on the Charles Uren would be helpful as well!

Hi Hannah. I see someone also found the marriage.Copy of this certificate will give both their ages, their Father's names and occupations and witnesses who may be siblings.

I think it is possible that the Garfield that you listed died????? but his parents had two more boys after that, the second one died but the third one lived.

It often was the case back then that if a child died the next one of same sex was given the same name.

There is a Webtree on Ancestry under name (owner. nicroach12)
this shows the following. see if it matches anything that you have.

Garfield. born 21.7.1904. Died 1983. Married 10.9.1933 Aged 29. to Agnes Brokenshire, who was born 1899..died 1971.
Father Charles. born 1868 Died 1931. and Mother.Alaminta Rule Jennings. Born 1868??

The second Garfield born Jan/March Qtr. 1904 reg in Redruth .vol 5c 188 and died same Quarter.

Third one, Born July/Sept. Qtr. reg in Redruth. vol 5c 187.

I hope this helps. If it turns out to be correct a further search for earlier records can then be made. Happy Christmas. Ethel.

Hi Ethel

The one with the details about the mother Alaminta and father Charles are the correct ones.

My nan had said she thought there was a Garfield related at that time but I could never find anything out about him!

Do you know where I could find more information?

Merry Christmas

Are you a member of ancestry.co.uk?
I can't pay at the moment so I was wondering if you could mail the person who has Garfield in their family tree for more info??
