Hi I was looking at Mary (Stevens)Quick's will But there are not many people that I can identify: Vivian (Stevens) Quick & Benedict Quick - Benedict is the son of her brother Thomas Quick and Vivian is her grand-nephew Patience Curnow is her sister Patience Quick who married Michael Curnow & Michael Curnow the younger is their son But I don't seem to be able to identify anyone else. Does Brother's son in the will refer to the nephews of her husband James Stevens? There is also sister's son John Stevens? MARY STEVENS, widow, of borough of St. Ives

Sarch - all the rest can be found amongst the children of the siblings of husband James Stevens. What Mary should have said was 'brother-in-law's son' etc. If you want all the connections then let me know and I will explain them to you. Unfortunately it is a little difficult at the moment as I am having all sorts of problems with extremely slow connections. When a file of only 3.5Mb takes 30 minutes to download you get a sort of sense that there is something not quite right in the World! CT

Hi CT Thanks for the offer I am really only interested in the Quick side of Mary's family I placed the query as I know the terminology in those days was slightly different to today - for instance mother-in-law can also mean stepmother. But I can't place Elizabeth Quick who must be from the Quick family or Catherine Major is she from the Stevens side I found Mary Quick's Will while looking to see if I could connect Michael Curnow married to Patience Quick with the family of Robert Curnow and Catherine Painter/Paynter Sarch

- Do you have any particular reason for saying Elizabeth must be from the Quick side? Allow me to enlighten you! ;D James STEVENS (husband of Mary QUICK) was the youngest of eleven children of William STEVENS and Elizabeth THOMAS who married at St Ives 27th January 1721. Amongst his elder siblings was a brother named William who married Catherine JENKIN 16th February 1767 at St Ives. William and Catherine had a daughter named ELIZABETH who was baptised at St Ives 2nd February 1778. Elizabeth daughter of William and Catherine STEVENS married ANDREW QUICK at St Ives 17th September 1798. Andrew was the son of Andrew Quick and Mary Major. The CICELY children mentioned by Mary Quick were children of James Stevens eldest sister Elizabeth who married Hugh Cicely at St Ives 22nd May 1739. Catherine MAJOR was also a daughter of William and Catherine STEVENS and was a sister to Elizabeth who married Andrew QUICK. Catherine Jenkin Stevens was baptised at St Ives 2nd February 1772 and she married Richard MAJOR at St Ives 27th December 1794. It pays to get just a little interested in some of the other families around the area. CT

Sarch: I'm going to stick my neck out: this is how I see the line from Michael C back to Robert C. Can you follow it? Got there via the work we did under the Michael(s) Curnow thread a few months ago..... Michael C marries Patience Q St Ives 20 May 1782. Goes on till a fair old age, dying 30 Dec 1835. Only a couple of children. He is the Michael C baptised 31 Dec 1756 St Ives to William C & Jane Daniels of Towednack. Mother Jane Daniels is daughter bptzd to Vivian Daniels & Jane C 6 Aug 1714 - Jane C's 2nd marriage. Her line being Thomas C & Joan Painter...... brother & sister to the Robert C~Catherine Painter you're after. Near miss! So, the other route: who was William C who married Jane Daniels? I believe you will find he was baptised 24 May 1708, 6th child of Michael C & Margery Rosewall - which as that Michael gets a mention in the 1684 will of Robert C.... I think that gets you there. I hope that makes sense...... Sue

Hurrah! Would have been Unhappy Person if all that painstaking work had taken a wrong turn somewhere........ Just last week I had mild apoplexy when someone asked me, "Who's Uncle Matthew C who person X (a descendant of our mutual line of Cs) named on immigration to USA list 1908 that he is joining?" Because we just don't have Matthews in our C line.....! Had I gone wrong somewhere in the last few years? Was my house built on sand? Some reflection on what I've read of families in the vicinity, & research via various female marriages sideways etc in our line, showed he was in fact uncle-by-marriage to a non-C-surnamed person of ours - phew! I learnt that from advice you gave me way back when, CT: it pays to take an interest in families around and about, as you say...... Sue

Ancient Proverb (just made up! ;D) He who stuck in box only there because he want to be ........... or don't know any bruddy better! I think many people who run into problems with their family history and strike 'brickwalls' only do so because they are in a box and cannot see past the four walls. The walls are not going to collapse if you drill a little hole and have a peek at the outside to see what might be happening. 'Ancient CT' ;D

Hi Sue Thanks for clearing that up - amazing I had Jone/Jane Painter twice so have been able to clear up a double ;D Just want to check that Jane Curnow was first married to William Ninnes 29 Nov 1691 Towednack? Sarch

Sarch - William Ninnes married Jane Curnow (d/o Thomas and Jone) 29th November 1691 at Towednack and had six children that I am aware of.
William was buried 5th December 1705 at Towednack.
Sometime after this Jane married Vivian Daniel and had three children that we know of - Jone who married Matthew Stevens at Towednack in 1739, Mary who married Matthew Curnow at Towednack in 1741 and Jane who was baptised at Towednack in 1714 and then married William Curnow at Towednack in 1736.
The Daniel connections have been deduced from the Will of Jane's brother Peter Curnow in 1751.

Hi Again, Can some kind person please point me in the direction as to when Thomas Curnow and Joan Painter were married, and when daughter Jane was born? I have been unable to find anything on the Cornwall database. The only Jane Curnow I can find is the daughter of Robert & Catherine baptised 1676, who I have married to William Baragwanath. Thanks again
