Looking for anyone researching three QUICK brothers: James b. 1813, Thomas b. 1817 and Abraham b. 1820 and possibly their sisters Mary Ann and Eliza, all born in Uplowman. They are the siblings of my great great grandfather, William b. 1811, who was transported to Australia in 1832, and John b. 1815, who migrated to Melbourne.
Hoping to hear from you,
Virginia

What is it that you are trying to find out about them Virginia?

We would like to find descendants of William QUICK'S siblings, only one of whom we know came to Australia, ie. John. We would love to find further cousins if they are out there.
We posted a note on the Events page about the next QUICK reunion in 2011. This will mark the 200th anniversary of William's birth.

Hi Virginia,
I believe the sibling Abraham (b 1820) in the Uplowman Quick family you refer to was my great great grandfather and their father William could therefore be a common ancestor.
Abraham Quick served as a soldier in the 98th Regiment of Foot and married a Harriet Stuart (b1824 in Lambeth, London). They had one son, Abraham, born in Aldershot in 1867, who trained as a printer, eventually moving to Clacton and founding the East Essex Gazette newspaper. Abraham junior was my paternal grandmother's father. He is buried in the family grave in Clacton cemetery.
In the 1871 census Abraham senior was living in Tiverton and is described as a Chelsea Pensioner. He died in Tiverton on 16 April 1874.
I am trying to find any citation which refers to Abraham senior's location(s) or marriage. As his regiment was variously posted for several years at a time in India, China and South Africa, it is probable that he was not living in the UK during the period of his army service.
I am happy to share any information on this branch of the Quick decendants if you think they are the same family.
Alan.

I have a possible connection with the family. Thomas Ireland Quick was born in Halburton in 1834 the son of Henry Quick and Grace nee Leamen. He married Catherine Buswell in 1862 and then emigrated to Australia immediately after the birth of their first daughter in 1863.
Halburton was another small village less than a mile from Uplowman.

Thanks David. You will be correct. Our Births Deaths Marriages Queensland online say 1874/ B8610 ( the certificate of death ref No ) Father's name- Richard Buswell Mother's name "Harriett ** born Northhampshire 39 years". I know this is your Catherine married to Thomas Ireland. These items have been often wrongly transcribed for on line availability especially poor eligibility of early colonial handwriting! This link should help

Was Harriett the name of Thomas Quick's child born before they immigrated here ? as a Harriett Quick was in Queensland and had a daughter who died in 1910. We visited Thomas' grave at Toowong today( d. 7/06/1918) . He is buried with his 2nd wife Margaret ( nee Gerletta) and next to this grave is his and Catherine's son-in-law and granddaughter's grave.( Henry DODD and Elsie Gerletti Dodd.) Catherine nee Buswell died in 1874 and was buried in Paddington Cemetery as Toowong Cemetery was not yet opened .These graves were disinterred for our Lang Park now Suncorp football stadium and I don't know where she has been placed in Toowong cemetery
.

Dear Alan (BartyB),
Thanks so much for your response of 12th September. Am sorry for not keeping in touch with the website, swallowed up a bit here in Sydney and am currently selling house and packing up.
Our connection seems firm between the brothers William and Abraham, so I am glad we can welcome each other as cousins.
William was transported in the 1830s for 14 years, afterwards becoming a tailor in Maitland, NSW and marrying Rachel Nieto from the prominent Sephardic Jewish family of London's East End. She had travelled out as a freewoman to be a governess for her sister and brother-in-law, who was William's master.
Will keep an eye out for things about Abraham.
Regards,
Virginia

Dear David and Mark,
My sister, Johanna (dorothybennett), has some information on Thomas Ireland Quick, and she will be in touch.
Thankyou for responding,

Hi Virginia . Have since found Thomas Ireland Quick was thrice married. Catherine Buswell, then Margaret ( nee Gerlatta but was a McLaren by then ) and then followed by her death married to Sarah Fletcher Leeson. Only Catherine had his children. He was an ironmonger in George St. Brisbane and can be found with his wife Sarah on the electoral rolls.
regards Mark.

Hi
Just read your post regarding William and Abraham Quick of Uplowman, Devon. I believe they are both my 3x great uncles. Can you give me birth dates so I can be sure? Interested to read that William was transported for 14 years, can you tell me more please?
Regards
Richard, Southampton, England

Very late replying I know but as far as I've been able to establish, Abraham Quick 1 was born on 26 March 1820 in Uplowman.

Hi John
Just read your post on the Quick family. James 1813 is a direct ancestor (4th gr grandfather) but having problems with identifying his parents. I think they are William & Mary, but there are so many quick families in the area it’s difficult to narrow down which ones.
Any information gladly received

Greetings
I have a QUICKE line 1716 -1960 mostly Tiverton/Exeter areas. and also a QUICK line 1565-1914 mostly South Devon and Cornwall.
Do you have a public tree to share and to compare overlaps?
-
Hi. I do have a tree, but it’s on ancestry. The James I’m interested (1813 - 1890) in is married to Sarah Matilda Milton.
