In the 1841 and 1851 census John and Mary Quick are farming at Gunew in Lelant, although John is from Towednack originally.
My first thought was - which family doies he come from - and I convinced myself that it was probably William Quick and Catherine Osborn who married 1800 in Zennor.
But when I found John in the 1861 census (he was now 55 years old and in Phillack) he had five newish children aged from 11 years to 4. But Mary I found living elsewhere and she is 72 years old at this time.
Maybe the 55 year old farmer at Phillack is not the same man? Maybe the servant Ann Glasson is more than a servant if you know what I mean?
Then again, when you look in 1871 he is back again at Gunew with this young family, more additions, and still Ann Glasson the servant. He says that he is married but good old Mary is not in the house. She is living in Nancledry by herself aged 82.
1881
I see - he was waiting for good old Mary to pop off. Ms Glasson has just become Mrs Quick. Well well well.
