Quick at Kenwyn and Truro

We had not planned to expand this far - at least for a while yet.

BUT:-

TRURO WESLEYAN CIRCUIT BAPTISMS


21 MAY 1820 ELENOR QUICK D/O JOHN GLASSAN OF TRURO (SMITH) AND WILMOT HIS WIFE, WAS BORN 12 MAR 1820 BAPT.
BY OLIVER HENWOOD.


9 DEC 1821 SAMUEL QUICK SON OF JOHN GLASSAN OF KENWYN (BLACKSMITH) AND WILMOT HIS WIFE, WAS BORN 19 AUG
BAPT. BY RICHD TREFFRY

John GLASSON m. Wilmot QUICK 17th November 1814 at Kea

Question - who was this Wilmot QUICK and who were her parents.

I cannot seem to find a baptism for her in IGI and I currently have nothing for the relevant area in the way of PRs to help me.

According to the 1851 Census at Ferris Town, Kenwyn, Wilmot was born at Kenwyn about 1795.

John Glasson was born at Kenwyn about 1788.

And while I am at it - Just who was this particular John GLASSON.

Good morning

I think, given the name Samuel and the area of Kenwyn, you might find that this is another son of Robert GLASSON and Jane BURT - John Glasson bap 17/4/1788 at Kenwyn - and perhaps brother of Samuel the ferret.

Thanks Lannanta - but what about this Wilmot QUICK?

I don't have time to search properly for her at the moment as I 'might' be heading away for three days.

Will know more in an hour or so but will try some further searching once I am home anyway.

Francis QUICK m. Frances WILLIAMS 5th december 1789 at Kenwyn

That might be them.

NO - This following will be them!

Samuel QUICK m. Eleanor SYMONDS 5th June 1786 a Kea

From the names of the Glasson children it would appear obvious this is Wilmot's parents.

That gives me something more to work with.

Given the names of the children that I have for Samuel and Eleanor Quick:- Paul in 1787, Ann in 1798 and Wilmot in 1796 - I would have to suggest that Samuel was most likely the son of John Quick and Jane Michel and therefore the grandson of Paul Quick and Wilmot Curnow - Samuel was baptised at Towednack 18/10/1761.

Sounds quite reasonable I think.

BUT - (I know, always with the 'buts' )

Kenwyn and Kea sport quite a number of QUICK events over quite a long period. (And I believe some were quite fast also! :

All does seem to fit quite nicely and the names of Paul and Wilmot are certainly much more common in the Quick family from Zennor and Towednack.

Samuel also seems to have originated at Towednack in 1761 which is a further pointer to you being correct.

Other children for Samuel and Eleanor were Jane (1790), Mary (1793), Eleanor (1794) and Samuel (1799).

I am actually reasonably happy with that connection.

We have an origin for the name of 'Samuel' in the QUICK family in 1761 and IGI shows only 13 records for the name with all being after that date.

But then there is the 'ointment that trapped the fly'!

Who was the Alice QUICK who had a son Samuel (reputed father John WOOD) at Phillack in 1780!

(IGI records the reputed father as John WARD).

Alice is another name that seems more prominet in the West Penwith clans.

I think that as we get closer to tidying up most of the western Quicks there will be a job of seeing what relationship the Gwennap, Breage, Kenwyn and Kea Quicks have to those we have catalogued. I would like to keep at the "loose ends" at the moment - my poor old head cannot handle much more than that I am afraid.

Lannanta

[Cornish Terrier]

Agreed - and we must go easy on the 'poor old head'!

But that one always did seem to have a closer link to the West than many others.

Amongst our 'loose ends' is still the problem of the Robert QUICKs of Zennor/Towednack and the subject has arisen in the notes from 'docboy' in Canada.

Would appreciate you having another look at that discussion and see if we might be able to find anything else.

Be interested in the details of the documents 'docboy' has in his possession regarding Paul QUICK and Trevessa.
