Armed Forces / Re: Thomas Quick serving in Gibraltar in World War Two
« on: Monday 31 July 23 15:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi CaroleW,

I have had a look at THOMAS QUICK'S birth certificate again born on the 4th March 1920 and registered on the 15th March 1920.

This man is a mystery he turns up between the years of 1940 - 1948.  Where was he before??

I know he was in the army in some capacity but again not sure what??

My Mum met him between the years of 1940 - 1948 but I cannot check this as she has passed away.

I was wondering about the identification cards of 1939, would a person be on them if they were in the armed forces??

I would be interested to know what you think?

Kind regards,
Pauline.

Hi Carole,

Thank you for the kind offer.

He is a bit of a mystery I have to say.  So here goes he was born in 1920 in Bootle, Liverpool, Lancashire.  His parents were a THOMAS ELLIS QUICK and LETITIA QUICK nee KIRBY they married in 1917.

Unfortunately LETITIA died in 1921 at 107 Rice Lane, Liverpool ( which was the workhouse ).  THOMAS was with her in the workouse when she died.  I have no idea what happened to him after this.

His father a THOMAS ELLIS QUICK for some reason decided to emigrate to Canada and leave THOMAS and JOHN behind ( which seems rather cruel ) I have been in contact with someone who was connected to his second wife's family.

So there is a huge gap of what happened to him between the year of 1921 - 1940

Until my mum mentioned that he used to visit her family home between the years of 1940 - 1948 this was in the Waterloo, Liverpool area.  Her father was a RICHARD KIRBY who was a brother of LETITIA QUICK ( THOMAS'S Mother ).

We don't know where he was living or what he did in the war.  Apart from a very slight suspicion that he may have served in Gibraltar / North Africa.

His brother JOHN QUICK was born in 1918 and may have died in Devizes in 1950.  Again like his brother THOMAS he did not say much.  No idea why.

Both brothers THOMAS and JOHN QUICK seemed to like everything secret.

I have tried to find both brothers on the 1939 Identification Cards - but again with no luck.
More confusion about the tree on Ancestry in Wigan 1919 are they the same parents THOMAS and Letitia.

The THOMAS QUICK I have mentioned I have his birth certificate ( I am confused more than ever )

So any ideas / or suggestions I would greatly appreciate.

Kind regards again for any help

Pauline.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: John Quick at 45 Hands Street, Litherland on the 1921 census

Hi,

amondg - very interesting to find out that on the 1921 Thomas was in the workhouse with his mother Letitia.  I did not know this.

i have the marriage certificate of Rosanna and Robert in 1853 - they were my ggggrandparents

Like you say there is a Winifred Mary Lloyd as a witness to the marriage of Letitia Kirby and Thomas Quick

CaroleW - This is my ggggrandparents on the 1861 and 1891 census

Thank you for all of your invaluable help.  I just need to connect the Lloyd / Kirby / Quick families together  ;D

Hi Ruskie and CaroleW,

Ruskie - name of father who went to Canada a Thomas Ellis Quick / John Quick.  He changed his name a few times in different situations ??? ???

He jumped ship as a merchant seaman in Canada in 1920.  When he left another ship in Montreal, Canada 1925 - 1926.  He said his name was John Quick and was born in Canada.  He really is a strange character  :-\ :-\

CaroleW - I did try and buy credits the amount was £3.50 ( I think ) but my cursor would not access the button, the page would not move any further.  I did not want a subscription quite exspensive!!

Celia is mentioned in the 1901 aged 8 yrs with her parents Charles Kirby and Elizabeth Houghton.  I have their marriage certificate.

So Letitia was mistranscribed in the 1901 census as Celia but at least I have that information. ;D

So back to looking for John Quick!!

Many thanks for any help or advice.

Regards,
Pauline.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / John Quick at 45 Hands Street, Litherland on the 1921 census

Hi,

I have posted here before and had brilliant help in regard of a John Quick aged 4yrs? and his brother Thomas 1yr?

They were living at 45 Hands Street, Litherland with a family called Lloyd

Alfred Lloyd
Annie Lloyd

I would like to know if there is any mention of them being related in any way?

Their mother Letitia Quick died in 1921 and is buried at Ford Cemetery.  Their father left the family in 1920 and moved to Canada.

So Alfred and Annie Lloyd took over their care.  But are they related?

Any help I would so appreciate.

Many thanks,
Pauline
