Hmm, yes.


Leighton Buzzard District is some 25 miles west of Royston, so possible; on that basis the death record for an Ann Quick in Winslow (Dec 1856) is only a few miles further west – looks like the neighbouring parish. And we do have 2 missing Ann Quicks post 1851 census, mother & daughter. The bad news is that 1851 census has an Ann Quick living in Winslow, and 2 living in Leighton Buzzard; by 1861 there is no longer a Winslow Ann Quick; and there is only one Leighton Buzzard Ann Quick left. (And the districts are in Buckinghamshire & Bedfordshire, whose county records/archive offices I haven't yet looked up.)
And head of household James? Where be he?

But nil desperandum. The answers are out there – somewhere. And it will rain sometime soon.

The answers are definitely there - Somewhere!!!

It might be worth doing a little work on those three you mentioned to see if they can be identified.

I certainly don't want to get involved with all the Quicks of England as most of them have no connection back to Cornwall and certainly not West Penwith.

Well - if there is any connection with any of them it is way back before we have been able to go.

But a little work might help clear the way for us to see 'our' Ann.

Sue - could you elaborate a little on the Ann Quicks you found in the 1851 and 1861 Census please.

Apart from Ann and James (with daughter Ann) at Bassingbourn I can only find an Ann Quick age 66 living at Linslade, Bucks.

In 1861 there is Ann d/o Samuel and Mary Quick at Linslade age 21 or Ann age 53 (born MDX) who is a servant at Upton with Chalvey, Bucks.

In 1851 I found (FMP) the following Ann Quicks within 30 miles of Bassingbourn/Royston:
Household QUICK, Ann 1785 66  F Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire
Household QUICK, Ann 1840 11  F Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire
Household QUICK, Ann 1796 55  F Luton Bedfordshire
Institution QUICK, Anne 1844 7  F Royston Hertfordshire
Institution QUICK, Ann 1811 40  F Royston Hertfordshire
Household QUICK, Ann 1808 43 F Winslow Buckinghamshire

In 1861 I found only these:
Household QUICK, Ann 1809 52  F Eton Buckinghamshire
Household QUICK, Ann 1840 21  F Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire

Although I did note an Anne Quick age 17 as a servant in London; birthplace “........Devon”;
Household QUICK, Anne 1844 17  F Marylebone London, Middlesex

but I would expect that to be the one previously in Torrington age 7 in 1851 -
Household QUICK, Ann 1844 7  F Torrington Devonshire

Thanks Sue - I will try to work my way through these later on tonight and see if any might lead me somewhere useful.
