James Quick and a few loose ends

[Deleted]

CT

We discussed not so long ago the death of a James Quick in 1838 and I suggest that we were hoping that it might solve the problem of the Quicks at Nancledry in the 1841 census - well it doesn't.

That death is of a 9 week old baby, the son of Israel Quick the shipwright - and therefore also the son of Jane Allen. Jane does not appear in the 1841 census and therefore there are two options for her death in the FreeBMD lists - Dec 1838 and Mar 1839.

The other item that we have discussed is the birth and death of the two boys in 1860 at the Madron Union workhouse - Paul and Silas - and their mother Mary Ann.

Well their mother Mary Ann was the daughter of Sampson Quick and therefore also the daughter of Mary Ralph as you suggested.

Sampson married his second wife, Elizabeth Trounce, on the 2nd July 1860, some four months after the death of his daughter Mary Ann - which suggests to me that the reason the children went to the workhouse is that there was nobody else to look after them after the death of their mother Mary Ann - perhaps?

Mary Ann died on the 3rd March 1860 at Digey in St Ives, in the presence of her father Sampson Quick, shoemaker. The cause of death was "exhaustion after the delivery - 24 hours". She was 36 years old.

More certificates obviously which is helping 'tighten the noose' on some of those loose ends for us.

RE James age 9 weeks.

I already have his mother's death in my database as December 1838.

He must be the one born and died in the December Qtr of 1838?

Yes - Jane MUST be the one who died in the December Qtr of 1838.

The March 1839 entry belongs to:-

Jane Quick of Tremeader age 77 buried 14th January 1839 at Zennor

She was nee Christopher, wife of William Quick.
