Hello Snydly

That is how I see it. I have the following notes in my family database for John (1805) which I have copied for your interest:

Data from a web posting re explanation of Gonau alias - Matthews' History of St. Ives remarks on the use of aliases in the parish and thinks that GONEW is the name of the residence at the time (but with a (?) after it). It is a hamlet in Lelant, the name meaning High Downs. In "The Place-Names of West Penwith" by P.A.S. Pool the place was variously; Goeneu in 1364, Gonew Myseocke in 1556, Gonew in 1672, Gonew Vistow in 1740, Goneudisco in 1794, then Gonew Viscoe. Pool says the name is from the plural of gun (a down), gonyow (downs).


In the 1841 census John, farmer, and his wife Mary were living at Gunew in Lelant with three children; John, James and William.

In the 1851 census John, farmer of 77 acres, and his wife Mary were still living at Gunew in Lelant with three children; John, James and William.

In the 1861 census John had moved to Castle Hayle in the parish of Phillack. However Mary, now aged 72, was living on the St Ives Road at Lelant. While they were both still married it is clear they were living apart. Also living with John at Castle Hayle was a servant Ann Glasson and it is clear that she was the mother of the following children; Sophia, Catherine, John junior, Ann, and Leonard.

At the 1871 census John Quick and six children were all living at Gonew with Ann Glasson. Given that John's wife Mary was living elsewhere it is clear that these children - Catherine, John, Ann, Leonard, Mary, Walter - belong to John and Ann.

In the 1881 census John was living at Gunew with his second wife and his children.

Ann Glasson was baptised on the 14 June 1823 to Jakeh Glasson and Jennifer Murrish.

Mary Dunstone note as follows:

In the 1871 census Mary was an 82 year old annuitant living at Necledry in Towednack.

Hope that helps

I have discovered two sets of potential parents for Catherine Osborne:

Father
William Osborn (1756-)
Mother
Elizabeth Foot (1757-)


Father
Matthew Osborn (-)
Mother
Mary Philips (-)


I wonder which fits better into the preceding information.

Leonard Quick,1859.
An Ancestry "contact" has sent me a photo (scan) of Leonard and most of the children. His wife is Mary Ellen Q. They were living in Ludgvan in 1901.

According to me Catherine was the daughter of Matthew Osborn and Mary Phillips as was her sister Elizabeth (born c 1781) and who married John Quick at Towednack on the 22nd Sept 1804.

John was the son of John Quick and Elizabeth Richards.

Wouldn't mind seeing that photo myself!

Snydly - the connections as given by Lannanta are correct.

Catherine was bp. 14th May 1775 at Zennor d/o Matthew Osborne and Mary Phillips.

Spouse #2
Ann Glasson (1823-)
Married 1849 (from entry in Ancestry.co.uk)

Obviously the person who submitted this had not followed the family as closely as I and had therefore not worked out that John Quick's first wife was still living up until 1873!

John married Ann Glasson about eight years after the baptism of their last child and just 33 days after the burial of 1st wife Mary.

I am not sure how to send this photo. to anyone: it was sent to me via an Ancestry link. I can provide detail of the "source" through e-mail or PM should anyone be interested. My disorganised Tree on Ancestry will show the detail and it can be "merged" into a database (I think!). Or I can scan the on-screen page, but the pic. will be pint-sized.
My Tree is "Martin and Rabenold GEDCOM 2"...but beware "multiple" entries for the same persons....

David - I have worked out how to do it and have sent a copy to Lannanta via email.

If you click on the thumbnail picture in 'Media Gallery' it will open a screen with an enlargement.

Just to the right of that are two options "View Original" or "Print".

Click on "View Original" and the picture will be opened in another window.

Then just place the cursor over the picture, right-click on the mouse and "save picture as".

Give it a filename and save it.

Only thing is that you will have to transcribe the caption for yourself.

Have received the photograph and boy oh boy that old fella in the front on the left looks just like my great grandfather Joseph Glasson of Lelant. Many thanks and much appreciated.

John was the son of John Quick and Elizabeth Richards.

I guess this will change things in my tree

So just which John 'did' you have?

Perhaps you had better explain what you have for the relevant John Quicks and we can try to sort them out for you.

Apparently the caption is that it is known for sure that Leonard is in the back left corner. It may well be that this Leonard is the son of Leonard and Mary Ellen because he does not look like a 50 year old who has been a farmer all his life. Then you could also say that the gentleman in the back right corner is his brother John. The three children in front are their siblings and are from right - Constance (1898), Baden (1900) and Frances (late 1901). I believe that the picture was taken around 1905 to 1908. You could then postulate that the two ladies at the back are the sisters of Leonard and John. Then getting really radical you could finish off by saying that the older gentleman in the front is Leonard senior, he is at this time a widower, and this is a family photograph taken at his residence - and he really does look like a 50 year old farmer.
