Re: Thomas Quirk & Ann Elliott Bennett

There were several possible candidates for the Thomas Quirk who married Ann Elliott Bennett in 1792. Do you know the names of their children and birth years ? The only one which comes up in a casual IGI search is Elizabeth Hooper Quirk b 1795. If she was the eldest daughter, then Thomas Quirk's mother may have been called Elizabeth.

Here are a few records I've copied for you:
