James (Buzza??) Quick 1722 - 1791

[Isambard]

Dusting off an old Quick family tree that I've come by, I find an entry for "James (Buzza) Quick" (1722 - 1791), who married Catherine Trewhella (1728- 1813 ??) 3 November 1748 in Zennor.


So far I've not found any other references to this James Quick where Buzza is included or referenced in his name, nor references to any Quick-Buzza connections. Does any one have a Quick answer or comment?

'Buzza' is merely a reference to 'Bussoe' and is not part of James Quick's name. In his Will he is referred to as James Quick of 'Buzza'.

James was baptized at Zennor 30th April 1722 to James Quick and Anne Vibert and married Catherine Trewhella 3rd November 1748 at Zennor as you mentioned. Catherine was the daughter of Matthew Trewhella and Catherine Baragwanath and was baptized at St Ives 14th March 1726.

James Quick actually died in 1795 and was buried 26th February that year. His Will was written 13th February 1795 and proved 16th May.

Catherine Quick nee Trewhella was buried at Towednack 29th August 1813.

Thanks CT! I had not realized that Buzza/Bussoe was a place name.

From Cornwall Information & Accommodation Guide:
Bissoe, in Cornish, 'Besow', meaning 'birch trees', is a hamlet in the Parish of Kea between Truro, Falmouth and Redruth.

Bussoe (Bussow) is also a farm in Towednack Parish.

Thanks CT. Towednack makes much more sense than the old mining district.

I have Catherine as being the daughter of MARTIN Trewhela.  Also as mentioned elsewhere I also query the 1726 baptism record leaning instead to a date of 30 May 1725 in Towendack. It's that the 1724 Towendack marriage record (as transcribed) for Martin & Catherine is noted as "Martine" & "Catharine" and this is the same spelling used in the 1725 baptism transcription.

While I also note that there is only 5 mths or so between these two Towednack records I'm not s concerned as it wouldn't have been the first time that the bride was pregnant at the time of formalising a marriage.

Any thoughts out there??

I also have Martin as Catherine's father. In relation to the two possible baptism dates. There is sufficient time between them that the first Catherine may have died shortly after baptism and the second child was also named Catherine (especially as that was the mother's name as well}. That's been my working hypothesis.

I have addressed this problem in your post under the Quick forum.

There were two Catherine's baptized to Martin and Catherine Trewhella and the baptisms only 'appear' to be five months apart because prior to 1752 the Julian Calendar was in use which meant the Year began on March 25th and ended on March 24th. (I have also tried to explain that in the other thread)

The first Catherine only lived about 8 months.

I have also tried to explain about the variations in spellings of the name in that same thread so please have a read of it before going off at all sorts of tangents because someone's name is spelt MARTYN instead of MARTIN or Trewhela instead of Trewhella or Smyth instead of Smith or Mari instead of Mary etc.

So in summary to the longer answer that CT has provided in the Quick Famiy forum - the two date question is apparently solved in that there is a Towednack death record for a differently transcribed spelling - Katharine Trewheela (d.25 Jan 1725).  The second Catherine to the same parents is baptised in nearby St Ives 14 May 1726.
