Interested in the QUICK family of Uplowman

[addison john]

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?

[addison john]

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.
