Matthew Quick Mary Jane Kitchen

[Isambard]

I expect a Quick response to this query! ;D

I'm looking for the relationship between Susie Josephine Quick, b. 2 Aug 1882 Towednack, and three names listed in her "Birthdays Book":

Katie (Catherine) Quick b. 29 Dec 1885 Towednack
John Kitchen Quick b. 7 Oct 1888 Towednack
Ada Quick . 14 Nov 1891 Towednack.

From Cornwall OPC, their parents were Matthew Quick and Mary Jane Kitchen, married 27 January 1886 Towednack, Matthew age 42, his father Robert Quick, mother not shown

Was this Robert Quick b. 1807 St. Ives, whose father was Robert Quick 1776 and grandfather Robert Quick 1728?

If so this would indicate Katie, John and Ada were Susie's cousins.

Susies' father was John Glasson Quick. His father was James Quick 1793, his grandfather James Quick 1766 and great grandfather Robert Quick 1728.

Thanks in advance, I know that expert advice will be forthcoming.

Fourth cousins is how I see it also with the descendancies just as shown by Sarch.

But I have to wonder why those three would be in Susie's birthday book.

Are they just three of a number of other Quicks or is there something else I have missed here.

Hi CT

I was wondering the same thing - have I missed a closer link somewhere.

But people did know who their distant cousins were in those days.

A lot of work has gone into those Quicks!

I am fairly comfortable that nothing has been missed and I have had another glance through the line of Susan and of her 'cousins' to make sure.

All were born in the 1880s and we have documentary evidence on both lines from Certificates, baptismal records and Wills to show that all the links are correct.

Thank you Sarch!

I am puzzled about Paul Quick 1694 vs Paul Quick 1692, since descendents Robert and James appear to be the same (excepting Robert in one case d. 1890 ). Were there two Pauls?

I hadn't noticed the 1st cousins once removed relationship between Mary Thomas Dunstan and John Glasson Quick before - interesting.

CT and Sarch:

I had the same question when I looked at the names in Susie's little birthdays book, hence my query.

Here are some other names in Susie's little book:

In front of book - From Ernest to Cousin Susie 19/1/1895 ((Ernest Trethowan))
John Glasson Quick - Jan 15 1843 Mary Dunstan - Jan 22 1822
Willie J. Dunstan - Jan 22 1862 - died 1889
James Dunstan - March 10 1821
James Dunstan Quick - May 18 1885
Andrew Dunstan Quick - Nov 15 1883
Susie Josephine Quick - Aug 2 1882
John K. Quick - Oct 7 1888
Jean Francis Quick - Oct 11 1914
Ada Quick - Nov 14 1891
Mary Quick - Dec 23 1852
Katie Quick - Dec 29 1885

Other names include Newtons, Curnows, Ruberrys, Richards, Rowes, Mitchells, Semmens', Pearce and Hosking.

Susie was born in Towednack. The family moved to Canon's Town by 1891 to live with Susie's grandparents, James Dunstan 1821 and Mary Thomas 1822.

NB: I don't have a copy of Susie's baptismal record, but my recollection is that she was always known as Susie, not Susan. The 1891 census reads "Susea", her wedding announcement to W.T. Newton reads "Susie Josephine Quick, as does the BC death registration.

Hi Isambard

1694 was a typo - have fixed it should be 1692

I hadn't noticed the connection either between Mary Thomas Dunstan and John Glasson Quick - went looking after your posting to see why the other Quick's were in Susie's Birthday Book

Thanks CT. I thought I had looked on OPC.

You may well have looked on the OPC site but you might also have neglected to check the Non-Conformist Baptisms link.

I transcribed these myself only a few months ago.
