Hi my hard-working and productive friends!
(No - this is not another 'hello what does he want this time' hi).
At least not yet!
I will do things a little 'a'-about and start with Canterbury having just noticed Allen's location!
As you are chasing the Quick family (I think
) I can give you something a little closer to home to have a look at.
Emma Jane TREWHELLA married Simon Thomas MITCHELL at Christchurch Registry Office 30th July 1890 but had no children that I am aware of.
Simon died in 1891 - Ah Wouldn't mind getting more detail than just the year if possible.
In 1892 his widow Emma Jane then married Christopher Osborne QUICK.
Oh dear - all I have there is the year also.
(Maybe there is a way of finding more information there too.
)
Again, as far as I know, there were no children.
However, I do know (from another researcher many years ago) that Emma Jane QUICK died 2nd February 1942 at Balcairn, Canterbury and Christopher Osborne QUICK died 22nd December 1936 at Balcairn.
Christopher is apparently buried at Kaiapoi but I do not know if Emma is also buried there.
If you wish to know more about Emma I can certainly oblige.
Christopher Osborne QUICK was born at Towednack 12th April 1854 according to my earlier researcher and was the son of John QUICK and Mary Ann (nee OSBORN) who married at Zennor 4th February 1837
I can now confirm this last via Census and other records I have looked at recently.
And his uncle Matthew has now given me something more to think about regarding one of my still to come Quick Problems.
Matthew was married twice and his last child was born when Matthew was 67! - AND he was 30 years older than his second wife.
I really need to double check all of this and will do part of it shortly by checking the Census records.
OK - now to business.
I don't know either mate but thanks for digging that out.
And as for the Robert stuff - it is very easy to get mixed up with those guys as I have found out over the years.
He certainly did and they certainly had a tribe.
Their sons Paul and Robert both died in Victoria.
To my knowledge Paul never married but Robert certainly did and had 9 children and I can give you further details on them should you do not have them.
The youngest brother, John Glasson Quick, married Mary Thomas Dunstan soon after the 1881 Census.
John apparently died in Canada in 1923 whilst Mary died in Cornwall the same year.
Their son Andrew Dunstan Quick married Phillipa TREWHELLA in Montreal in 1921.
One of their sons is Dr William Andrew Quick whom I have corresponded with.
The other son was John Trewhella Quick and I now have a copy of a photo of him which I believe was taken in South Africa when he was about 20.
And I am not neglecting the (once again) most useful information from me darlin' Cornishmaid.
I reckon that marriage is the one but it did not show up on FreeBMD!
The earliest marriage for a Thomas Quick they have is 1841.
Never mind, what you have provided is fully detailed and I am sure it is the one I need.
You are concerned about something here?
Thomas' father Richard was at one time recorded as a tinner and later as a miller so this last would fit with him being a baker I guess.
And Thomas is recorded on the 1851 Census as 'tin and copper miner'.
And that newspaper report about the death of Thomas Quick's wife could very well be this Elizabeth.
Correct - and later on he is at St Ives where I think he died but I am still trying to determine exactly when he died.
And you are correct about Catherine but I am damned if I can locate her burial although FreeBMD shows three entries for Deaths of Catherine Quick and all are in 1840 (March, September and December Quarters) in the Penzance R.D.
Very possible that one of these is her but I cannot be certain until a burial record is found.
I do know that there is a reasonably narrow time-period to work in as the last of her children was baptised in 1836 at Towednack.
That must be about it for now. Time to get back into the land of Quick and see what more I can find.
Until the next lot.
