For all the QUICK researchers......... I have come across a small newspaper article from the Liverpool Mercury etc (Liverpool, England), Wednesday, March 24, 1869 in connection with the storm which wrecked his vessel and claimed his life and that of his son and a crew member. If you send me a PM with your email address I will forward the article to you in the form of a PDF doc. Best regards HeatherC  |

I am not sure whether or not you got a copy of this article, but it concerned the drowning in a gale of a certain Captain Quick of the brigantine "Bristol". Also drowned on this ship was his son who was the mate.
I believe that the christian name of the Captain was William Quick. I have not positively identified him, but on looking through my census data I am suggesting that he may have been the husband of Alice STEVENS. He appears in the 1861 census as a Master Mariner at Feock with a ship called the "Merton", while Alice is living in St Ives. His son George also appears in the 1861 census as an ordinary seaman at St Ives on board a ship called simply "John".
I am thinking that William and George are the two mariners referred to in the article.

Yes I did get a copy of the article - thanks. I had Alice as a widow in 1861 but taking another look at the Census I may be wrong. On first glance it certainly looks like 'Wid.' but there is a line through it. Comparisons with entries just below are similar so I suspect you may be right as I know George was definitely deceased before the 1871 Census. Maybe a check on the 'Bristol' might turn up the answer.  CT |

CT I do not think that the wording is "wid", I think it is "mar" and I think the fact that she is referred to as a mariner's wife suggests that she is not a widow - yet.  Lannanta |

I now know that Alice Quick, the widow of William Quick master mariner, died on the 10th September 1892 at Bethseda Place in St Ives where she had been found in both the 1881 and 1891 census.
It was interesting to note that the informant at the death was her daughter Alice Curnow of Halsetown - I had always assumed that Alice Stevens Quick had married another person but I have since found Alice Curnow and family right through the census up to and including 1901.
The only time I could not find Alice senior was in the 1871 census, just after the drowning of her husband William and son George.

Lannanta - I had the Curnow marriage quite some time ago as a result of working through some of the later Quicks.
Alice married James Curnow in 1858 but I only have the details from FreeBMD.
Alice died at Halsetown 13th March 1824 age 84 and is buried at Barnoon.
I currently know 'b____r-all' about James Curnow except that he predeceased Alice.
Children were:-
William J Curnow born St Ives c.1861
George Quick Curnow born St Ives c.1869 and buried Barnoon (died 17th January 1945)
Emily Curnow born St Ives c.1872
James Curnow born St Ives c.1875 and buried Barnoon (died 15th April 1947)
There were probably other children but these are all I have found so far.

Exactly as I have it except for the typo for the death of Alice at Halsetown.
