In 1861 William, Ann and Joanna are back living at St George, Somerset. By 1871 William is deceased. Working on the assumption that he died in Somerset I have narrowed it down to either 1863, 1864 or 1865 - not that a Death Certificate would be of any use to us. I will try to narrow it down a little further if I can find exacctly where St George's is. The possibilities are:- 1863 March Qtr Vol 5c Page 668 - Bedminster R.D. 1864 March Qtr Vol 5c Page 312 - Dulverton R.D. 1864 March Qtr Vol 5c Page 668 - Bedminster R.D. 1865 June Qtr Vol 5c Page 240 - Dulverton R.D. St George's is towards the North Coast of Somerset so would be in the Bedminster R.D. which means he probably died March 1863 or March 1864. In 1871 William's widow Ann is at 'Friendly Home', Pill, St George's, Somerset and is an Innkeeper. She has one servant enumerated with her. Looks like Joanna was married in 1865. 1865 March Qtr Vol 6a Vol 39 - Bristol R.D. Thomas BODLEY Elizabeth BRICE Emma PIPE Joanna QUICK James WALLIS Another of those with one partner missing?! I cannot find Joanna at all in 1871 so she and whoever she married may have emigrated. Tried searching for 'Joanna' born 'Somerset' 1837-1841 and there are no matches whatsoever. I have also tried FamilySearch for the marriage of William and Ann and for any children but it was a wasted excercise. All I can do for now. CT

CT I think that we are looking at the Parish of Easton in Gordano in Somerset which includes St George and Pill. I believe the marriage to be that on the 11th April 1821 at Easton in Gordano, William Quick to Ann Rowles. There is a death recorded for a William Quick of Pill on the 3rd April 1864, aged 75 years. There is also a death for a William Quick of Bristol, who died on the 15 Dec 1868, aged 45 - most likely their son. That is all for the mo but I must admit it is awfully difficult work away from the old haunts of Cornwall. Lannanta

That all looks very good and, I would suggest based on information in my last, correct! ;D But where did you find those details?! If you think it is difficult working around Somerset you could always try joining me and trying to work on New York!!

The power of the Web me old handsome. I had to pay for the marriage on "FindMyPast" which then showed me which Parish I was interested in. Then I found a website where some very kind person has transcribed some registers, unfortunately the only one of value was the burials. The baptisms stopped at 1812. At this stage it is really the baptisms that I need so I might have to go to the old fashion method and order a film from the LDS.
The Rowles name is backed up by the fact that in 1851 Mary Quick, born in Portbury around 1836, was living with her grandmother Ann Rowles, in Easton in Gordano - and the old lady's occupation - beer house keeper.
By the way, I am not so sure that there are many other children in addition to the ones that you listed.

Lannanta - well done mate, I'd like to find a site or two like that to give me some more information on a few Trewhellas a little closer to home! I will await your final prognosis before performing further operations on my database. Meant to mention a couple of days ago - it would be worth doing a check of each of the Census years (up until say 1881 anyway) and just look for 'Quick' born 'Cornwall'. Then sift through the St Ives, Towednack etc. and see just what turns up. Reckon you might find more than one to fill in a couple of those gaps and tidy up some more loose ends. CT

Possible birth dates for William Quick which matches up with the death year of 1864 when William was aged 75: b.24.5.1789 Towednack parents are William Quick and Elizabeth
b.28.4.1789 Towednack parents are William Quick and Wilmot
b.26.6.1789 St Ives parents are Andrew Quick and Ann
There was also a William Quick b.10.5.1801 Marhamchurch. Parents are William Quick and Joanna.

Hello Newlyn - apart from the bloke at Marhamchurch (an area we have not touched as yet) we can safely take care of the all those you mention. The son of Andrew found himself a hole in 1790 and got buried in it! (But he was replaced with another of that name a couple of years later. The only real possibilities now are the second son of Andrew or, and we think much more likely, the son of John and Johanna (nee Paynter) Quick with both being baptised in 1792. The William we are discussing was a 'mariner' and the fact he ends up on the North Somerset coast suggests it more likely he was the son of John and Johanna. John was also a mariner and it is possible he was a little more than that! Son John was yet another mariner and amongst his sons was a vetinerary surgeon and an assistant surgeon. Son James was a merchant seaman of St Ives and is mentioned in Bibliotheca Cornubiensis. Son Paul was a Ship owner and lived much of his life at Kenwyn and Truro. Son Richard Jennings Quick was yet another mariner. Several of these are buried in St Ives Churchyard. This all suggests some degree of affluence somewhere along the line and a move to Somerset migt be an indication of some other connection to the area - maybe via business. Andrew Quick on the other hand was a 'tinner' and, although possible, I think it less likely that his son would appear so well off. The problem with Andrew and his family is that, as yet, I don't know what happened to them! CT

Beat you to it mate. I have been doing exactly that - Quick born in Cornwall and ignoring all those living in Cornwall. Have certainly found a few.

Well done mate - I had obviously found some myself given I brought old William up in that thread last year. But I did notice quite a few 'up country' that I figured would be worth pursuing at some stage and it seems the time has arrived. AS you sort through them let me know what you have and where you consider they might belong. This excercise might help clear up a few of those other problems we have had. Time for me to get a few hours sleep I think.

Hey CT, I am back doing the QUICKS again and have a William Quick of Buzza who married Mary Ann Rosewall of Lower Buzza in 1856, According to the OPC, William's father was John Quick and Mary Ann's was Andrew. I have Mary Ann's details, but am getting stuck on William. I am wondering if he is the son of John Quick (bap 11/3/1791) who is the son of William Quick and Joan Trenwith, my database does not have this John married or spawning. Is this the William who is 95 and living at Buzza and the son of William Quick and Catherine Jackett?

Sally - I am leaving for the fire at Hazelwood in less than 30 minutes so don't have time to answer this right now. Send me an email or update this thread and I will find the answers for you after I get home on Tuesday night or Wednesday.
Regards, CT

The William you mention was the youngest of three sons of John Glasson and Mary DUNSTAN who were married in 1824 in Towednack. The interesting part however, is that John had a second wife - eventually.... one Ann GLASSON. He lived apart from his first wife Mary, and fathered children by Ann - eventually marrying her in 1873 following the death of Mary. John is buried at Lelant.

Hi Lannanta,
Who are the parents of John Glasson Quick that you mention... the only one I have in my database is much later.
