Ann (Nancy) Quick 1791

I think that you have paid a little more attention to the parish registers than I have so you may already have the answer to the following.

In 1816 Nancy Quick married Andrew Thomas at Towednack. The 1861 census shows that this Nancy was also known as Ann which is 100% supported by the parent name entries in the Towednack parish registers for the children. The census also shows that Andrew was born in St Ives around 1784.

Now I think it is already given that Ann, bap 1791, was the daughter of James Quick and Elizabeth Quick.

I then note that Andrew, bap 1783, was the son of Andrew Thomas and Ann Quick who were married at St Ives in 1782.

Am I right in assuming that this last mentioned Ann was the daughter of James Quick and Catherine Trewhella, and therefore baptised around 1749?

Your initial details are all correct as I know them.

But I am yet to determine the parentage of the elder Ann Quick.

I have tried a number of times to find some sort of information that might give me a reasonable clue but to no avail.

But having another look at the problem now and I see that the daughter of James and Catherine is about the only one who could possibly have married Andrew Thomas.

That would have made her about 33 when she married.

Besides the fact that Andrew Thomas was a 'mariner' this could help explain why there appears to have been only one child.

Now I would have been quite happy to adjust my database to reflect Ann Thomas as d/o James and Catherine Quick.

BUT!

JAMES QUICK, yeoman, of Burza? in Towednack
written: 13 Feb 1795
proved: 16 May 1795
wife: CATHERINE
son: JAMES
grandson: JOHN s/o JAMES (not 21)
daughter: ANN QUICK
daughter: CATHERINE w/o Israel Quick, joiner
daughter: MARY w/o ROGER RENODIN
daughter: ALICE QUICK
daughter ELIZABETH w/o JAMES QUICK
son: WILLIAM executor
Vol. 19, p. 387

That would seem to throw a rather larger spanner into the works I should think!!!

Lannanta - I must have given you a doozy of a headache with that response?

Seems, like me, that you have no other alternative.

We could consider the possibility Ann might have been a widow when she married Andrew Thomas.

I know she is not recorded as such but that would not be the first time a detail like that has been left out of a marriage record.

There is another alternative at St Ives.

Ann d/o Thomas and Jane (Canarthen) bp. 12th April 1747

She would have been about 35 when married so could be considered.

I can see no other unmarried Ann Quicks in my database so if it is not her then we must have to seriously consider a widow.

There is a Rootsweb entry for Ann Quick b12/4/1747 d of Thomas Quick & Jane (Canarthen), which marries this Ann to John Davy of Zennor 27/2/1770 Ludgvan.
I may be reading it incorrectly but the source quoted appears to be a family member of the poster, Deverick.
Can this be discounted?
I have not yet traced Thomas & Jane's children and their children, which I need to do to get the link I want to find for my family to Jane Canarthen.....

Hi Sue - I do not think I had seen that particular connection before.

But according to my database the Ann Quick who married John Davy at Ludgvan in 1770 was the following:-

Ann d/o Richard and Elizabeth Quick bp. 24th July 1748 Ludgvan

Richard Quick married Elizabeth Row 20th October 1743 St Buryan with Richard having been baptised at Towednack in 1718.

To support my own findings I will add a couple of items for you.

John Davy was baptised at Zennor 11th March 1743 s/o John Davy and Sarah (nee Prous).

I believe this was the second marriage for John Davy snr and that he was probably the same man who married Duins Renawden at Zennor in 1731.

I have not found a burial for Duins but it appears Sarah may have been buried at Zennor 21st June 1746.

The following children for the elder John appear at Zennor:-

Elizabeth d/o John Davy bp. 17th September 1733
Margaret d/o John and Duins Davy bp. 3rd January 1736
Sarah d/o John and Sarah Davy bp. 2nd May 1742
John s/o John and Sarah Davy bp. 11th March 1743

John is not recorded as being widowed when he married Sarah Prous at Zennor in 1741 however the known data supports the fact.

John and Ann (Quick) Davy had three children that I am aware of (all at Zennor):-

John s/o John Davy bp. 25th January 1771
William s/o John Davy bp. 10th March 1773
Richard s/o John Davy bp. 11th February 1776

The following may also belong:-

Thomas s/o John Davy bp. 29th July 1784
Elizabeth d/o John Davy bp. 12th July 1785

John Davy of Boswednack age 75 was buried at Zennor 11th June 1819

Ann Davy of Boswednack age 83 was buried at Zennor 21st January 1831

The age recorded for Ann when she was buried would be a match for either of the two Ann Quicks in question.

However I think the fact John and Ann Davy used the name Richard for their third son is a likely pointer to Ann's father.

Neither William nor Richard are names appearing in the immediate known family of John Davy (he had three sisters) but they can certainly be explained in the family of Ann Quick with her father being Richard and eldest brother William.
