Hi Cheryl - I'm afraid this is going to be no easy task. I have been able to find a couple of things related to this family but nothing that will identify Alice.
The greatest difficulty is the time-period. If Alice were born/baptized during the 1640s then you would have to hope that Parish Registers survived as from this time through to around 1662 I don't believe there were any Bishops Transcripts due to the Commonwealth.
The Parishes in question here are Stithians and Gwennap for which early registers do survive but unfortunately they are not quite early enough in either case. Gwennap registers begin at 1658 and are mostly I think in reasonable condition but the earliest registers for Stithians covering 1656-1710 are in quite poor repair.
The only items I have been able to find are a Will for a Simon Uren of Gwennap dated 1660 and Probate/Administration documents for Nicholas Eudy dated 1687. Simon Uren makes no mention of wife or children but he does mention a brother Clement so I think it likely he was unmarried but the documents for Nicholas Eudy indicate that he was the husband of Alice Uren.
You could check the CRO Catalog for possible Leases or other similar documents that might help but other than that I have no other suggestions just now.
