So what happened to Arthur Trewhella Quick (bap 21/11/1834) - did he emigrate?

Reckon there is a very good chance of that. Not much time right now - some shopping to do before work. Will catch up properly later on tonight and hope I have uninterrupted connection.

Where the heck did you drag this one from. I have never heard of him. The only Arthur Quick I know of was baptised at Madron in 1709. Where did this baptism take place and who were the parents. Hmmm - can find no such person in the 1841 or 1851 Census and the only Arthur Quicks that do appear were in Ireland, Lancashire or London. BUT (says he with a sudden thought and suspicion crossing his furrowed brow ). MATTHEW Trewhella Quick s/o Robert and Catherine bp. 2nd November 1834 at Towednack. Perchance could THIS be to whom you refer. 2nd November - 21st November If this is the case then I do not know his ultimate fate just yet but in 1851 he was at Halsetown living with his father and elder sister Catherine and was then a cordwainer's apprentice.

I reckon that was Matthew and not Arthur in the 1851 census.
The only place I have seen the name at the moment is in the IGI. I would be interested to know if somebody had access to the Towednack registers who was baptised on the 2nd November 1834.
The only reason it came to mind was that Arthur was not a common name but happened to be my father's first name, although he always used his second name, Norm.

Another win for the Aussies Now all I have to do is find out what happened to him and his sister Catherine after 1851 and the rest of his siblings after 1841! It's all YOUR fault - you had to get me started on the Quicks again. ;D But I do have to say that this has been the catalyst for me finding quite a few things that I had not previously known.

Good morning Ian It so happens that some other members of my family are to be found in the Balcairn cemetery in North Canterbury. Interesting place Balcairn but that is another story. Not only that my mother was born in Kaiapoi so I am familiar with that place also - even more interesting place for my grandmother but maybe not for publication. Unfortunately the availability of any public records is pretty limited, but the first place to look is at the Christchurch Public Library where a lot of the Christchurch BDMs are in a card index. I will do that for you the very next time I am in Christchurch and let you know how I get on. Lannanta

Much appreciated Mate and I look forward to what you find. Meanwhile it is bedtime here (now that my Connection seems to have stabilised : so I will pursue more Quicks and some Martins tonight and try to link a few more pieces of the puzzle together. It is about time to introduce some more of the Lelant, Ludgvan, Zennor and Towednack Quicks into things now so let's see what happens. CT

I have been able to find a spare half an hour in Christchurch where I went to the public library and firstly looked at the card indexes from the various church registers.
I found the following children all born at Kaiapoi: Twins; Emma Josephine and Christopher John, born 25/11/1900, bap 8/12/1900. Mary Osborne, born 24/4/1897, bap 8/12/1903. Robert Garfield, born 2/4/1893, bap 8/12/1903. Stanley George, born 15/10/1903, bap 8/12/1903. The parents were Christopher Osborne QUICK and his wife Emma Jane.
There was also a marriage entry for one of the twins, Christopher John QUICK. He married Emmie Muriel BOYCE on the 2/11/1925 at the Holy Innocent Church at Amberley. At the time he was living at Sefton. The parents of the groom were listed as Christopher Osborne QUICK and Emma Jane, nee TREWHELLA. One of the witnesses was a certain M. O. Quick whose occupation was domestic duties - possible a female??
Christopher John QUICK, retired farmer, was buried at Balcairn Cemetery on the 29th May 1990 - died on the 26th. He was aged 89 years and had been living at Rangiora.
I have not been to Kaiapoi yet to see if I can find the headstones of Christopher Osborne QUICK or his wife Emma Jane.
I was just about to leave when I decided to browse through some of Canterbury's earliest newspaper BDMs - The Lyttelton Times.
Bit of luck I thought.
Found a couple of interesting entries that I thought may be of interest to you?? First one from from The Lyttelton Times. I forgot to look at which year this one was but it would have been between 1886 and 1891 - October 9th, Martha, beloved wife of Thomas QUICK, aged 34 years, formerly of Ludgvan Crawlas, Cornwall, daughter of John and Hannah Cadby.
Second one back from the indexes: Paul QUICK, miner, aged 63 years, buried 25/11/1869.
Regards
Lannanta

Thanks old Pal - I have run out of time to do anything with this right now but should be able to get into it after work tonight provided I can keep a stable connection. Should be able to let you know of further requirements after that. How about:- Reckon she might have been a good candidate to have been a witness. ;D Hopefully have more for everyone tonight.

G'day Mate, Have just managed to get the information for Christopher Osborne Quick's family entered into my database and I thank you again for having obtained it. I cannot, just now, identify the other Quicks you mentioned but will keep that information aside until I can work them out. Paul should not be too difficult but I do not have him in my database at the moment. Thomas is a little later but the fact we know he was at Ludgvan should help identify him. Unfortunately, he was either married after 1881 or had already left Cornwall by that time. Hmmm - just checked FreeBMD and it looks like it is over to you my friend as the marriage appears to have NOT taken place in England. Also could not find a birth for Martha Cadby anywhere in the Index. Now, for other things I might need. I do not have the actual date of marriage for Christopher Osborne Quick and Emma Jane Trewhella. All I know is that the NZ Marrage Index records it as having occurred in 1892. When Emma Jane married Simon Mitchell in 1890 one of the witnesses was her sister Honor Ann JAMES. Honor married William Henry James in Cornwall in 1877 and I have so far found no children for them. It does look like they had left Cornwall prior to the 1881 Census so they may well have been in New Zealand at that time. When she witnessed her sister's marriage Honor was 'of St Albans' if that is any help to you. Would like to find out a little more about her and any family she might have had so as to close off another annoying little loose end. That is about all I can think of for now but I am sure I will find something else for you to look for over there. Time I had a proper look at a couple of other queries now and see if I can find some more answers. CT

Thanks Lannanta. Just found some old information which included his date of death but that was about all so much appreciated. What is confusing is that this information also includes birth details but gives his place of birth a Napier, Hawkes Bay. CT
