Genealogy of the QUINN family

I have added some new pages to the web site today detailing the QUINN family with as much information that I currently have about members of the BRANSBY, CUTHBERTSON, WATTON and QUINN families.

I would be most pleased if you are able to provide any new information or any corrections so that I can update the information on the QUINN web site.

I would also welcome any communication from any members of the extended QUINN family tree.

Hilda May WILLIAMS

Hilda was born on the 24th September 1928 and died on the 15th of July 2009. Hilda was cremated on the 20th of July 2009 and her ashes were scattered at the crematorium.

John Noel QUINN

John Noel QUINN, born 25th December 1926, son of Owen QUINN and Martha (nee THOMPSON) of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, died on Wednesday the 9th of January 1991, at Pottsville in New South Wales, Australia, and was cremated at Tweed Heads. His ashes were returned to Hilda May WILLIAMS, friend and confidant of the past twenty years.

QUINN
On behalf of myself and the family of the late John QUINN, we thank all friends and neighbours, doctors concerned, ambulance services of NSW and QLD for their help and kindness during our sad loss.
Hilda WILLIAMS

QUINN - WILLIAMS

When John Noel QUINN retired, he and a woman named Hilda WILLIAMS toured parts of Australia in a mobile home. The last known place for Hilda WILLIAMS is Pottsville Beach North caravan park. At about the same time she could receive letters at a post office box at Hasting's Point, these two small communities being only 3 kilometers apart and some 25 kilometers south of the Queensland border in New South Wales.

Hilda was last heard of in about 2005 and it is supposed that John Noel QUINN had died prior to this time. I would welcome anyone to write to me with any information about Hilda or Noel.

Residences

80 King St. Felixstowe

80 King St Felixstowe

It is not known why Imelda QUINN was staying at 80 King Street in Felixstowe in Suffolk when John, her husband, was joining the Royal Australian Navy in 1948.

At that time one Stanley Eric BOND was recorded as living at that address. A researcher from Suffolk, has said that she believes that the BOND family, and there were a number of them living at other addresses in Felixstowe at the time, were members of the Salvation Army.

Jacqueline QUINN

Jacqueline, more commonly known as Jacki, was born about 1953 in Brisbane. She attended All Hallows school in Fortitude Valley and her younger sister Roslyn followed her there a couple of years later.

By 1969 Jacki was doing her apprenticeship as a hairdresser. She was working for a Miss KAY(e) who had a salon on about the fourth floor in a building on the corner of Queen and Edward Streets in Brisbane City on the opposite side of Edward Street to MacArthur Chambers.

Jacki was fond of going to the beach, at Maroochydore on the north coast and at Greenmount and Coolangatta on the south coast.

Jacqueline was a young lady with a natural beauty and very rarely used cosmetics. She didn't eat chocolate and had a good set of moral values, probably instilled in her by her mother, who was of a rather stern nature.


The viewer should not confuse this Jacqueline QUINN with another Jacqueline who married and later divorced a Shane Grimstone. That Jacqueline was from Victoria.
