William from Phillack

[Deleted]

I have another from the loose list.

In the 1841 census William Quick and Ann, nee Dunstan, were living at Bussow. Living with this couple was William Quick senior, aged 87, who I guessed was the husband of another Quick - Wilmot, and therefore father of William.

Also living there were two more Quicks, who incidentally moved with William and Ann to Phillack prior to the 1851 census. Anyway they were Catherine and John.

I have no idea who John is.

But I am thinking that Catherine was the sister of William (husband of Ann Dunstan). Her age in the various census does not agree with her baptism of 1805 at Zennor, but that is not unusual. Anyway in the 1861 census Catherine is living with her married sister Mary Berryman at Kenwyn, husband being John Wills Berryman.

So my assumptions are these:
1. William (bap 1789), Catherine (1805) and Mary (1800) were siblings.
2. William and Ann Dunstan did not have children
3. Mary married John Wills Berryman in 1824 at Zennor

John remains a mystery at the moment.

Catherine is almost certainly the sister to William but I do not understand why her birthplace is recorded as 'Truro'.

John is definitely another matter.

He 'could' be William's nephew (or rather his wife's nephew).
Mary DUNSTONE, sister to Ann, married John s/o William and Catherine QUICK after her first husband, John BARAGWANATH, died.

John was their first son - but he was recorded at Lelant with his parents in 1841.

Another possibility is that he was the son of Paul and Elizabeth QUICK of Kea.

He also was recorded in 1851 as having been born Truro.

There was another John baptised at Towednack in 1826 - son of Roert and Catherine of Treviga.

Given John was a 'servant' at Phillack in 1851 it would seem more likely that he might be the son of Paul and Elizabeth from Kea given Kea is right by Truro.

And it seems this bloke might have disappeared by 1861.

Another thing - it is quite possible we have two different Johns involved.

One point has bothered me a bit concerning Catherine Quick baptised 1805 in Zennor the daughter of William Quick - and that is that there are two - one on 20 Jan 1805 and one on 19 May 1805.

I am assuming that the older Catherine was perhaps 6 months to 2 years old when baptised and died shortly afterwards.

Any thoughts?

My suspicion is that both entries relate to the same child.

There are often odd entries in PRs and I think this is probably one of those.

The first entry 'may' be either a birth date or, more probably, the date of a private baptism.

The second date would then be either the true baptism date or the date of baptism 'into the Church' following the private baptism.

I have been unable to find any other reason/s to account for the two entries.
