The story is that William Edward QUICK had success as a miner on the Ballarat goldfields and went back for a Cornish bride. He married his cousin Mary Sandow WASLEY on 4 May 1856 at Saint Ives, Cornwall, England. Their mothers were SANDOW sisters.

Mary Sandow WASLEY was born 25 Apr 1838, St Ives, Cornwall, England, d/o George WASLEY and Candace nee SANDOW [838]

Under Entry No. 868 on the Passenger List of the immigrant ship Dragoon were WT LUKEY, Miner 22 yrs; James SANDER, Miner 20 yrs; William QUICK, Miner, (recorded as) 32 yrs (but should be 22 yrs); and Mary QUICK, wife aged 19 yrs. Also on this ship under Entry No. 815 were Joseph WASLEY, Labourer 24 yrs; John WASLEY, Labourer 33 yrs; and Elisha WASLEY, Labourer 18 yrs. These were not siblings of Mary, but very likely cousins.
An American ship of 1433/1384 tons, 5234 superficial feet, Master JB WESTON, Agents Campbell Brothers & Co., the Dragoon sailed from Liverpool on 26 May 1857 at 11.00pm with 348 unassisted immigrants. [Unassisted Immigration to Victoria 1852-1923]
The arrival of the Dragoon at Hobson's Bay, Melbourne on 23 Aug 1857 was reported in The Age and The Argus newspapers on 29 Aug 1857. There was also a brief account of the voyage, the cargo and the cabin passengers.
