Hold me accountable!! We have strayed off the Quick family and onto something completely different and by rights I should have moved the conversation immediately to a section such as Chy-an-Coweth. My apologies for not having done so but heads up for Free Speech! Let's now return this thread to the subject of the Quick families and take any further discussion of 1911 elsewhere. CT

I stumbled across this thread while checking up on Reginald Baden Quick. The Quicks you are talking about here are my family and as far as I know there is no connection with Cornwall. But I can answer most of the questions raised in case anyone is interested. James Quick and Ann Back moved to London from Crediton in about 1850 and earlier generations were from the villages and farms around Sandford. Their son John James was quite a character - my father remembered him well. He and Louisa had 12 children (including Reginald Baden) between 1881 and 1907. They got married in late 1880, presumably because Frederick was on the way, but John James obviously kept it quiet and continued to live with his parents. The address he gave when they married was that of Louisa's family who must have known what was going on. My grandfather, Frank James, was the next one after Frederick, and by the time he came along they seem to have got themselves organised. My father, who was born in 1920, remembered Louisa as rather forbidding and strict. He had no idea how colourful her earlier life had been!
