Hello all I was wondering of anybody had been following Honour Smith Quick through her life. I came across her most recently in the 1891 census where she is living with brother Peter and widowed mother Alice (nee Smith) at St Ives. Also in the house is a four year old grand daughter of Alice - Honour Quick. Having a closer look I noted that Honour Smith Quick was said to be married and therefore I found her marriage in the March quarter of 1885. Assuming that the 4 year old Honour was her daughter it follows that her husband was one Thomas Quick - who is not at home. The most odd thing is that Honour Smith Quick, aged 29 years, was said to be a lunatic.  Lannanta |

Do you mean that Thomas Quick was away from the house or a lunatic as well.
Lunatic - thought that was the normal state to be in.

Hello Newlyn Honour was reported to be the lunatic. I am led to believe that there are levels of lunacy, and suffering from it in some small way does allow you to believe that everybody else is mad, which helps to believe in yourself when nobody agrees with you  Lannanta |

And husband Thomas Quick was the son of Thomas Wedge Quick and Jane Stevens. |

Yes, I would agree as he lived very close and is the only one who could fit the bill.
But I cannot find her in the 1901 census after her being with her mother in 1891. In 1901 her mother and daughter are still together so maybe Honour was with Thomas.
I shall look some more.

Got a late night pass mate?  I have nothing in the database to suggest what happened to Honour but I do not recall whether I checked the 1901 Census. About to post something in response to the query from Sarch and I am still thinking about the Gwinear data you posted about the marriage of James Quick in 1731 and the burial of John in 1720. Might have to get the faculties working properly again before I can come up with an answer on them.  |

Yes, have been very sick with the flu or some such for almost two weeks now - have had far too much time in bed so I am not too tired at the moment.
Am I right in suggesting that there is no access to the 1840-1868 baptisms for St Ives?

Correct - you will find a few odds and ends on the OPC site and a few in IGI for the Established Church.
Primitive Methodist from 1832 and Methodist New Connexion from 1860 are available but that is about the extent of it as far as I know.
Anything specific you are after?
If it is purely for Quick then I have a typed transcript of St Ives baptisms through to 1888.
I have had this for years so cannot guarantee the accuracy.

Not really, but I have been collating all Glasson and Quick entries and I was curious why those years had never been made available.

It's not the only Parish.
For St Hilary you will find Marriages from 1838-1859 are not available.
I have a number of other examples but would have to check my index for them.
Some transcriptions also only cover periods outside of what can be found in IGI.
About to post an answer to the James Quick problem at Gwinear.

Hello there  Did a "Quick" check of the 1911 Census, no sign of Honor Smith Quick. Found Alice Quick, 81, Widow and son Peter, 45, Single, living at Wheal Dream, St Ives. They occupied four rooms. Also found Honor Quick, Age 24, Single, Born St Ives, District Sick Nurse, Boarder of Elizabeth Pearn, Age 56, Single, Char Woman, Born Morval Cornwall. They occupied four rooms and the address given as Pounda, St Keyne, Liskeard. This I find interesting as I believe it may be the Thomas Quick husband of Honor Smith Quick..... the information on marriage status points to Honor still being alive in 1911 but perhaps in an institution? Thomas Quick, Head, Age 52, MARRIED, Fisherman, Born St Ives. He occupied four rooms at Quay Street, St Ives, and states just one person, himself, lived there. Under the heading "Completed years the present Marriage has lasted", Thomas has filled in 26, making the year of marriage 1885. Strange though, under the heading "Children born alive to present Marriage", he has written, none  so that would discount Honor born 1886........ unless he, for whatever reasons, did not acknowledge her? Or then again, perhaps this is not the correct Thomas. HeatherC |

Hi Heather
Or perhaps he is simply not the father which may explain why he has never been found at home with Honour during any of the census?? Either way the child would have been named Quick.

The birth certificate for young Honor Quick states that she was born at Burrow Road in St Ives on the 29th June 1886. This happens to be the same road as that given as the residence of the father - Thomas Quick, a fisherman. The mother was Honor Quick nee Quick so I guess that all the relevant discussion to date has been pretty much on the mark and whilst the situaton looks and feels unusual, we can only speculate on what may have been.
