Canadian with Cornish Roots

[Isambard]

Hello:

My primary interests are in Cornish ancestors with the following surnames: Newton, Quick and Dunstan. I've accumulated a reasonable amount of information on each family branch, thanks mainly to other relatives, particularly on the Quicks. My current focus is on the Newtons of Penzance/St.Ives area circa 1801.
I'll be posting specific queries from time to time.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Isambard

I have been working on the Quicks lately with much help from Cornish Terrier. I have sent you a personal message.

Kind regards

Hi 'isambard' and welcome to this site from the Cornish Terrier.

My guess is that you are related to ANDREW DUNSTAN QUICK who married PHILIPPA TREWHELLA in Montreal in 1921.

This being the case means that you and I are related a little more closely than mere friends on a Genealogy Help Forum.

I had corresponce with Dr William Andrew Quick many years ago and have his letter in my files here (somewhere in a box at the moment).

I would like to continue this further and help both you and myself find more to fill in the gaps.

It may be preferable to have some discussion via PM (or email) regarding my earlier correspondence with Dr Quick so as to not clutter this forum with unnecessary discussion.

I am not certain without doing some checking - but I believe we may also have a South African connection here.

Dates and information need to be checked - but, all being as it should, I think I have a copy of a photograph of John Trewhella Quick who was the brother to William Andrew Quick.

John T was born in 1927 but I need to check further details and find the copy of the photo before I go much further.

I have it on file in my computer but ned to find it. Sorry if that sounds a little odd but I have just recently moved house and my organisation of everything is completely 'out of whack'.

Guess we will be 'talking' soon.

Ian, for some reason I missed your reply above or forgot to respond (a senior's moment whichever way). As I said in response to one of your more recent postings, William (Bill) Andrew Quick is my 1st cousin once removed. His brother John (Jack) Trewhella Quick was born 25 December 1927 at Trevessa Farm, Senlac, Sakatchewan. I keep in touch with Bill, Jack and their sister, Mary Quick Sirrs.

G'day Tom

Thankyou for that information and I apologise for my delayed response. (Technical problems again.)

I would appreciate hearing from you with updated information on your family given it now seems certain we are related.

It seems I will be offline again very soon and I do not know for how long.

Will send you a PM with some other contact details so that we may keep in touch during the interim.

Ian
