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.

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
.
 regards     Mark.
