Richard Quick & Hannah Shugg

[rowena]

Hi Folks,

Would anyone be able to help me with the parents of Richard QUICK who married Hannah SHUGG - 24 November 1834 in St Ives. The Census below indicates he was born c.1800 St Ives.

Is he likely to be the Richard Quick bapt. 10 July 1803 St Ives, to parents George and Mary Quick?

Using FreeCEN I couldnt find he or his family in the 1841 C.

1851 Census:
Residence: Fore St, St Ives.
Richard QUICK, Head, age 52, b. St Ives, occupation: saddler;
wife Ann, age 49,
four children: Ellen 42, Richard 22, grocer, Ann J. 17, and William 9, all born St Ives.

Kind regards, Rowena

Hi Rowena - I reckon this is something we can do!

I think there is a fair bit of this documented in one of the Quick threads but it may also have got mixed across a couple of different threads there!

First and simple answer is that Richard Quick was baptised at St Ives 11th May 1806 son of James Quick and Eleanor Hodge who were married 18th April 1802 at St Ives.

Richard's father remarried in 1845 to Hannah Worth at St Ives.

Richard was the second of five children of whom he and brother James were the only sons.
Richard and James were both in HM Customs and it took a bit of work to track them down with one of the bigger problems being the Census!

You already know that Richard married Hannah Shugg at St Ives 24th November 1834 but, unless you know something I don't, there appear to have been no children from the marriage.

And now we dive into the realms of information that you may well not have!

Hannah Quick died in 1858 in the St George In The East R.D.

I have not yet found the burial record but research shows that this was undoubtedly Hannah Shugg.

In 1859 Richard Quick married in that same R.D. to Ruth Dodds who by that time had a nine-year old illegitimate daughter named Eliza Ann Dodds.

Richard Quick died at Poplar in 1882.

BTW - by my reckoning Hannah Shugg was bp. 24th August 1806
St Ives d/o William Shugg and Hannah Freeman.

BTW

1851 Census:
Residence: Fore St, St Ives.
Richard QUICK, Head, age 52, b. St Ives, occupation: saddler;
wife Ann, age 49,
four children: Ellen 42, Richard 22, grocer, Ann J. 17, and William 9, all born St Ives

Please enlighten me on this lot!

I know that I have a Richard Quick in the system (somewhere) who was a saddler but I cannot find a match for this crew and I can also not find them in the 1851 Census!

Rowena - I think there is a problem!!

1851 Census:
Residence: Fore St, St Ives.
Richard QUICK, Head, age 52, b. St Ives, occupation: saddler;
wife Ann, age 49,
four children: Ellen 42, Richard 22, grocer, Ann J. 17, and William 9, all born St Ives.

With all the work done by Lannanta and myself a couple of years back I was becoming quite concerned that I could not find this family in my database ................ OR the Census!!

But by using FreeCEN and the Folio and other details they supplied I have now solved the problem.

FREECEN HAS BUGGERED UP!!!!!!

This is NOT the QUICK Family!!!!

It is, in fact, the PENROSE Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is Richard PENROSE and Ann (nee QUICK) who were married at St Ives 26th June 1825.

Ann Quick was a sister to the Richard Quick who married Hannah Shugg!

You need to look outside Cornwall to find Richard Quick.

Hi CT,

Many thanks for your "quick" and thorough reply. I was going to start digging through the Quick thread, and decided I could be lost in Quicks for days...

Thanks also for clarifying that tricky FreCEN entry. That one definitely needs to be changed!

Yes, you're on the money with Hannah Shugg's baptism. Thankyou for her death record. I had something quite different that I hadn't been able to confirm. Nor did I know what happened to Richard Quick.

Any chance of finding an 1851 Census record for Hannah, or am I pushing it?

Ok, time to update my tree and database.
Many thanks, once again.

Regards, Rowena
