The other one which looks like a little fern is from Madeira. The sorrel was from Madeira too.
If it's from your garden, it almost certainly won't be an Ipomea. They're not native to the UK, and they don't survive our winters. That said, I do have one in our gravel terrace which has just reached the cotyledon stage which looks remarkable like an Ipomea (they have strange double-barrelled cotyledons).

Have you looked at buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) of one of its relatives?

Not directly relevant, but I bumped into this interesing site:
Non-Native Plant Species - URS
- it has pictures of seedlings as well as mature plants
