In your studies of the Quicks who left Cornwall for Australia, have you recorded the William Quick who married Clara Maud Sawtell at Bendigo in 1907.

Lannanta - Yes, I have him as the son of William Quick and Mary Ann Rosewall baptized at Towednack 27th December 1867 he died at Inglewood in 1935. Clara was born at Port Adelaide in 1867 and died at Armadale, Victoria in 1959.
Further - his father William died at Bendigo Hospital 4th August 1893 and mother Mary Ann died at Carlton in 1903. Her parents were recorded in the index as Jno Rosewarne and Margt Schillew. Two brothers named John each survived only a year but sisters Mary (George Wake) and Catherine (Charles Edwards) both married in Victoria. Another sister, Elizabeth, died a spinster at Carlton in 1942.

Thanks CT
I noted the death you referred to for Mary Rosewall, however I was not so convinced as I thought she was the daughter of Andrew Rosewall. Although on reflection I guess Andrew's wife was a Chellew albeit Elizabeth. I also had that the Mary you referred to as the wife of George Wake was born before her parents marriage.

Lannanta - I am sure Mary Ann Rosewall was the daughter of Andrew Rosewall and Elizabeth Chelew but I never worked out why her parents were listed as John Rosewarne and Margaret Schillew. Her paternal grandmother was a Margaret Stevens but I see no John in her immediate family. Rosewarne/Rosewall is not such a big issue as only yesterday I saw another example of one written for the other in a register.
And yes, daughter Mary, wife of George Wake, was born prior to her parents marriage and registered as Mary Quick Rosewall.

It would appear that the family was not too good at knowing exactly who was who. Maybe not so surprising in the days that some felt there were things that others did not need to know. Son William is most likely the death in 1935 at Ingelwood and his death is preceded by a newspaper article:
So thinking about the circumstances described in the article above, particularly living in a tent, maybe it was a tough old life they led.

An interesting find Lannanta, and one that seems to bear out my thoughts in an earlier email that Electoral Rolls indicated a possible separation from his wife. Living in a tent in 1935 even in a small town like Inglewood would certainly seem to indicate someone 'doing it hard'.
