Okay - the Will tells us that Jane was married - but that is probably to be expected.
The Will does NOT tell us that any of the sons were married..
But on the other hand - it also does not tell us that they were unmarried!!
And the one other thing missing - grandchildren.
There is actually no indiation one way or another as to whether there were any grandchildren or not.
As it happens (if my suspicion about son Richard being married to Blanch CURNOW is correct) there would have been only one grandaughter - Ann bp. 1830.
Jane d/o Richard and Blanch lived only two months.
First son William was buried four days after he was baptised.
And the only surviving son, William, was not baptised (and probably not born) until eight months after old Richard cashed in his chips.
In other words - there is absolutely nothing here that tells me my theory is wrong!
And bear this in mind - IF I am incorrect then we had better start searching very, very carefully for the OTHER RICHARD who had to have been born arund about 1781-1786 and we had better locate a single Richard of the right age to match Richard of Trevalgan.
At the moment we have two Richards:-
bp. 27th April 1783 St Ives s/o Richard and Jane
bp. 6th August 786 St Ives s/o James and Ann
And those two are required to fill
three positions:-
Richard (bn. c. 1785) buried 23rd September 1835 Paul, age 50
(Possible brother of Edward who is known to have been born St Ives and who married the sister of Ann WILLIS, wife of this Richard)
Richard (bn. c. 1781-1786) m. Blanch CURNOW in 1827 and still alive in 1851
Richard of Trevalgan who died in 1755
Now let's take a look from another angle:-
All were deceased before the 1861 Census.
If Richard of Trevalgan remained unmarried then we require TWO Richards of approximately the same age to appear in the 1851 Census.
We have, in fact, only one in 1851.
Between the 1851 and 1861 Census there are only
three Richard QUICKs dying in Cornwall
1. June Qtr 1851 Penzance R.D.
2. June Qtr 1855 Penzance R.D.
3. December Qtr 1859 Penzance R.D.
Two of these we know and the other ......
2. Is Richard of Trevalgan
3. is the 24 year old son of Richard and Ann (nee TROON)
Interestingly - I just noticed in FreeBMD that there is a Richard born in the Penzance R.D. in 1842 that I do not have recorded.
It is possible that it was this Richard who died in 1851.
And if that happened to be the case - then we have run out of Richard QUICKs again!
I really am considering it more and more likely that Richard of Trevalgan was the man who married Blanch CURNOW.
