Hi Deborah,
Your Annie Quirk married Edward Tate in 1881 and they had two children, William and Gertrude (who died shortly after birth). Annie, Edward and William came to Australia with brother Walter Tate on the 'Cicero' arriving in Adelaide, South Australia in 1883. Walter is my great grandfather, died 1906 in Queensland where he had moved. Edward died in 1953. There is one grandson still living in Melbourne, and another grandson Ron with whom I was in regular contact died in January ofthis year. Like you I had difficulty with the bad spelling. For memory I traced it by checking the 1881 census as Edward was on a fishing vessel - and I found Annie with her parents. Check it out for your own sake anyway. Regs. Lorraine Daly.
