Have we discussed Bridget Moorshead who married an Israel Quick at St Ives in 1816? I know she had a daughter Catherine who was baptised in Lelant in 1799 with the suggestion that she was a solo mum.

We have certainly discussed Bridget some months ago. Problem is identifying exactly which Israel QUICK she married and at the moment I am still unsure. BTW - have you been checking the new queries from 'docboy' regarding the QUICK family of Trevissa? Might need some collaboration on this one because it is getting back to the old Robert QUICK, carpenter/joiner problem again. CT

Don't know how far you have pursued Bridget but I just found something to add. Decided to recheck the 1841 Census to see if I may have missed anything. Bridget QUICK was living at Halsetown in 1841 and the only other member of the householdwas William HARRY, age 8. Just checked for a baptism and found the following:- William s/o William (mariner) and Catherine HARRY bp. 16th September 1831 St Ives William HARRY m. Catherine MOORSHEAD 10th March 1823 at St Ives So the young fella was her grandson. Has not helped me identify which Israel QUCK she married but .... CT

I have 'possibly' just solved the problem of the identity of Israel QUICK. To be 100% absolutely sure it may require positive identification of his first wife but I think the man who married Bridget MOORSHEAD was the Israel who married Mary STEVENS at St Ives in 1775. When Israel QUICK married Bridget MOORSHEAD in 1816 the marriage was witnessed by one Michael BARAGWANATH. This is the Michael who married Jennifer HITCHENS at Ludgvan in 1804. Michael BARAGWANATH was bp. 1st July 1781 at Towednack s/o Richard and Ann. Richard BARAGWANATH m. Ann QUICK 3rd February 1772 at St Ives. This particular Ann QUICK was the daughter of James and Mary (nee CURNOW) QUICK and was, therefore, a sister to the Israel who married Mary STEVENS. Thus Michael BARAGWANATH, witness at the marriage to Bridget MORRSHEAD, was the nephew of Israel QUICK! ;D CT

CT I have the sneaking suspicion that Bridget and William Harry were actually at the house of the Penberthy family in the 1841 census, parents Richard and Ann, and I also think that Ann was a Moorshead. I am sure that the marriage of Ann and Richard Penberthy is in a thread started by Zenobia some time ago. I believe that Bridget died in 1849. The family is from Lelant and Ann Penberthy appears in the 1851 census with some of her younger children confirming that. I noted that in one of the Uren wills on Kathie's website (details at home : Bridget and her daughter Catherine were mentioned, Bridget being his housekeeper. One of the witnesses to the will was Israel Quick. Lannanta

You may be correct about the Penberthy family although when I looked at that Census it appeared to me to be separate households.
Will take another look and follow up on your suggestions.
I also recall something about that UREN will so will also track that down and see what more can be found.
But I am 'almost' certain now that Bridget's husband was the man who had married Mary STEVENS.
Really need to be sure of the burial for Mary though given there is a Mary QUICK buried in about 1826 whose age puts her birth around 1751.
And there was a Mary STEVENS baptised at St Ives in 1851 to William and (I think) Margaret.

While you are looking at the Wills on the Family Search site you might be interested to look at the Will of Charles UREN AP/U/188 from the year 1816 at St Ives. Very interesting with respect to this thread.

Yes, I now have a copy of that Will. A little difficult to read because of image quality but I do see that Bridget married Israel Quick just over two months after this Will was written. Signiatures confirm that this is the same Israel Quick who signed the Will as a witness.

You could almost take a stab at who is the father of Catherine Moorshead?

You could …………. but I wouldn't want to assign any sort of reliability to the guess! Israel was married at the time and had chilren before and after 1799 when Catherine Moorshead was born.
It should also be noted that Bridget also had an illegitimate son (John Moorshead) at Lelant back in 1791. Maxwell Adams transcribed the entry for the OPC records but it does not appear in the Lelant Parish Register. However, I have just found it recorded in the Exeter BTs for Lelant dated 23rd October 1791.

I am not into making guesses and have no intention of assigning a father to Catherine, but I find it intriguing that Charles Uren would leave so much to Catherine... even with his brother William still alive.. so I was not suggesting Israel as the potential father, rather Charles Uren.

Ah, yes - I see! Could well be the case.
