Hi
Sorry to interrupt,
I am curious - do those in this thread pronounce the name 'Pennycuick' as 'Pennycook' or 'Pennyquick'?
My branch of the family seemed to have emigrated to the Rockhampton area in the 1800's and spread out from there. My paternal grandfather (KG Pennycuick) was apparently insistent on the Pennycuick pronunciation - although I have ppl from Rocky who try to tell me different. Grandfather was city engineer for many years so the name is a bit known in Rocky.
I have some info on our branch if its useful.
