Cornishmaid seems to be doing quite well here and is taking some of the burden for me. As stated in the 'Queries' section I will have to leave this for a day or so given other, outside, priorities. But I will look through all notes and then check all my other Quick information prior to responding and giving an outline of the family that I think might be a little more accurate. (And I will be willing to be corrected on any information I have should there be sufficient evidence to do so.) Ian

All discussion on Amy's Quick family has now been moved to the 'Quick Thread' in order to keep the Board in order.
The additions in this section may need to be copied over there also but will look at that a little later.
Am about to start a reply to the main query so please stand by.
Ian

Hi Amy I can't find a reference in the 1861 census to say that William and Emma were living in Penzance? I have them as living in Back Street, St Ives, with place of birth as St Ives. Also, you say that Emma died after the 1881 census? In 1891 she is living at Tregenna Place: Emma Quick, Head, Widow, 59, St Ives Cornwall Edith Quick, Daughter, Single, 23, St Ives Cornwall. In fact Emma (aged 70) is alive in the 1901 census, living at Stennack in St Ives. She is the head of the household and living with her are Edith (aged 32), her son William (aged 35) and two grandsons - Paul and William - aged 7 & 10.

And the two grandsons were born in the USA! As Emma's son William is listed as single then the two grandsons, it would appear, must have been sons of Paul Quick born 1863. Can find no sign of Paul.

cornishmaid, a general question for you: Is James Whetter's "Cornwall in the Thirteenth century" (I think that is the correct title name) available at the Cornish Studies Library? May have a lookup request for you if it is.

Ditto a book about the Trevanion family -- can't recall the exact title, I think it was a small paperback and written by a Trevanion from memory.

FAO Trencrom: Good news Copies of the 2 books you enquired about are indeed held at the Cornwall Centre. The Trevanion book is called ‘Trevanion Famly History’ by Denis Trevanion. Just let me know if you need a look-up from either book.

Thanks very much cornishmaid. Yes I think that Trevanion book is the one. I would like to know if there are any references to the Wyse, or Wise, family in either work.
Thanks again
Trencrom

Hi Trencrom I had a look at James Whetter's "Cornwall in the Thirteenth century" today. I had hoped that all names mentioned in the book would have been listed in the Index but, and I quote, "only significant people are indexed" . The book is 276 pages long and the typeface is very small, but I scan read it as much as I could and couldn't see any reference to the Wise/Whyse name I'm afraid. Unfortunately I ran out of time so I will have a look at the Trevanion book next week for you.

Cornishmaid, thanks very much for that. I remember seeing the book when I was over in Kernow in 2002, so I know what you mean about the print, but that was before I was aware of any Wyse connection.
