BASTOW Family in Victoria, Australia

ted70bastow — 2011-12-06 21:35:48Z

I am hoping to locate a source where I can obtain copies of photos/portraits and other information concerning the family of Henry Bastow who migrated onboard the Ship Roxborough Castle which arrived in Melbourne December 1857.
I am particularly keen to obtain a copy of a photo of his grandson, Charles Percival Bastow, Private in the 46th Battalion AIF who is buried at Amiens (Longueau Military Cemetery. Any assistance would be appreciated.

BASTOW - Newfoundland to Pennsylvania

GeoffMartin5207 — 2011-09-14 21:26:45Z

This is an update to an earlier posting in 2004 for John Albert Bastow.

I now know that John Albert Bastow left Newfoundland perhaps as early as 1891 and died in Pennsylvania before October 1905. He may have moved to the US with his brother-in-law James King and his sister Isabella Helena Bastow, wife of James. James and Isabella were living in Armstrong County in the 1900 census and in Pittsburgh according to the 1910 US census.

Thanks for any help

Hello,

I am Jowett Bastow's great grandson and descend through his son, Jowett Bastow Jr. and his granddaughter, Cleo Bastow. Our family history says that Jowett Sr. made more than one return trip from Ringgold County, Iowa to the UK, and on his final trip, World War I started and he was afraid to return because of German U-boats. He died in England in 1917 and was buried at Morcambe.

Re: Richard Austin Bastow-Volunteer Force of Canada-1867

moef53 — 2009-11-15 02:04:41Z

Richard Austin Bastow is my great grandfather. I also have a copy of the discharge certificate.

The family story is that he eloped to America with Catherine Broadbent and then served in the American Civil War because he wanted to help abolish slavery. However according to their marriage certificate, they were married on 17 November 1862 in the presence of Catherine's parents William and Mary Broadbent in the parish of St George's, Hulme in the County of Lancaster, England.

To my knowledge, there was no way that the Volunteer Force of Canada took part in the American Civil War. In the discharge certificate, Lincoln refers not to Abraham Lincoln, but to the town of Lincoln, Ontario which is near St Catherines where the certificate was written by Lieut Comdg Parnell.

Their son, Austin Bastow was born in Cleveland, Ohio on 19th October 1867.

I sent for David Lewarne's death certificate, he did not shoot him self he died of bladder cancer. I have found quite a few of the marriages, so am catching up at long last.

I found William leaving the country for Australia,it was in 1912 he was on the ship "Omrar" it appears he went on his own

Re: Bastow - UK

BrenJoyHow — 2009-10-23 07:35:41Z

thank you for replying to my message.

I had a letter some time ago from a Mr Edward Lewarne about his uncle William that left to go to Australia after the first War, but had no other information other then that a Lewarne came over in the RAF in the second War but he had no names. Also I wrote for for some time to his sister Pat Spicer.

I found Eliza on the 1911 cencus, but the children are too young so am having trouble in finding out who they married so any help in that direction would be helpfull. I have also sent off for Davids death certificate as I was told that it is possible that he shot himself.

Re: Bastow - UK

chrisfamhist — 2009-10-22 18:12:59Z

My Lewarnes are from Croydon, but I have done lots of research on the Bermondsey family too, as I research all references to the name.

I believe we did correspond several years ago when you were researching Eliza Welsford and Eliza Vigurs (wives of David John Lewarne). I have lots more research now if you are interested.

Re: Bastow - UK

BrenJoyHow — 2009-10-22 08:59:06Z

Are your Lewarne family from Bermondsey or Croydon in London
if so would be glad to hear

Slight mistake in my previous comment - I am not a 100 years old. Jowett Bastow was my Great Granfather's brother.

Hi
Looking at my name you may wonder why I am appearing on the Bastow web site. Jowett Bastow was my Mother's Father's Sister and as far as I can tell moved to Ringgold, Iowa in the 1850's. He appears as a farmer in Mount Ayr in the 1860 census. I have managed to find his childrens names and would be very intersted to see how this links together.

My father is Gordon John Bastow and his mother was Mildred Bastow. My father was born in Detroit, MI however resided with his first wife and three children in Portland, OR. I have been on the search for my half brother who was born and not recognized in the first marriage, my father had an affair with a woman in England who gave birth to him. I have been searching for this half brother for years since learning about him. If you have any information, please email me at joybastow@hotmail.com

Richard Austin Bastow-Volunteer Force of Canada-1867

gnhansen29 — 2008-10-01 08:42:26Z

Today I received a copy of the discharge document of my great great grandfather from the Volunteer Force of Canada No 3 Co. 19th Lincoln Bttn V.Inf

The date was 11th March 1867 and the name was Private Richard Austin Bastow. The document is signed by E.S.Parnall Leit.Camdg.

He married in 1862 in England and his son was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1867.

I was just wondering where I could find out more? Are there any migration lists that he could be on that would show when he arrived in Canada? Or any other online records about him?

A family legend says that he fought in Lincoln's Army in the Civil War but I have never found his name on any lists for either the Union or the Confederate Armies but today I found out that he was in the Volunteer Force of Canada. Is there any chance that Canadian Battalions fought in the American Civil War?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Geoffrey

who she married in Bradford, PA.

I am looking for information on a Mary Bastow. This would be my g-great grandmother. She lived in PA after coming here from England. She was instrumental in the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and at one time owned and operated a boarding house in the Willow Grove area. At the time she operated the boarding house John Phillip Sousa and his band would spend the summers there when playing at the Willow Grove Park. She had at least 7 children and at one time was somehow related to a Stoner family from England. If you have any information please contact me via e-mail

Peter Bastow - ?-1843, Devonshire

rvnichols1 — 2005-12-03 00:27:16Z

Peter Bastow was married abt Jun 1839 in Newton Abbot, Devon, ENG to Catherine Easterbrook, b 1816 Buckfastleigh, Devon. Peter died abt Mar 1843 in Newton Abbot. Have no info on Peter's birth.

The Civil Reg. Index lists a male Bastow born abt Jun 1842 in Ashton Under Lyne and one that died abt Jun 1842 in Plymouth. I'm guessing that both of these entries are for the same child. I'm also guessing that the parents were Peter and Catherine.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Regards, Ralph Nichols

Re: Peter Bastow - ?-1843, Devonshire

rvnichols1 — 2005-12-03 00:27:16Z

I somehow had missed an important piece of information previously. The boy born in Ashton Under Lyne was named John. Still no info on the boy that died in Plymouth.

BASTOW -Yorkshire/ Durham England

zandraann — 2005-09-24 03:19:11Z

I would love to speak with anyone researching the BASTOW family history. I am finding it hard to find further information before 1815. I am a decendant of Nathan Haley Bastow (born 1856, West Hartlepool Durham and married Esther MUSTARD) who's parents are Paul BASTOW b approx 1815 Bradford and Jane ?? born approx 1814. Paul's father was Jeremiah Bastow (?Bairstow) and we think his mother is Ruth.

Nathan Haley Bastow b approx 1824 is Paul's brother and the only sibling I know of. Anyone with information who could contact me and share what they have I would really appreciate it. I can be contacted by email on zandraann@bigpond.com.au

Re: Just starting

zandraann — 2005-09-24 02:56:57Z

Hi, I would love to talk to anyone in this group of postings as hopefully we may be able to help each other. My ancestry includes PAUL BASTOW b approx 1815 Bradford married to Jane ? Paul's parents are Jeremiah (Jerimiah) BASTOW. Paul's bother is John Jeremiah born 1869 and I have good information from then on, particulary around NATHAN HALEY BASTOW. Other surnames include MUSTARD and CAIRNS.

Mike, This is a little off topic, but is one of your ancestors Charles S. Muscroft, who served as surgeon to the 10th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. The 10th was an Irish regiment out of Cincinnati, Ohio. If so, I would be interested in speaking with you.

I have traced this line back to a William Bastow born in 1835 in Bingley, West Yorkshire.

Kate Grace (maybe Mary) - daughter of Henry Grace

rfaulconbridge1 — 2004-09-28 15:24:19Z

It would seem that Charles' wife was shown as Kate Grace on their wedding certificate of 1913, but Mary on his death certificate in 1953. Her father was Henry J Grace, a Granite Quarry Owner/Director

Charles Bastow junior & Mary Grace

rfaulconbridge1 — 2004-09-15 11:14:03Z

I now know that Charles junior married Mary Grace in 1913 at Blaby in Leicestershire and that they had a daughter called Katherine Mary Bastown, born in 1914. Her occupation is listed in a Kelly's 1941 directory as orthopic training, but don't know anything after this date.

geoffgmartin — 2004-05-05 02:01:53Z

Born in St. John's Newfoundland in June 15, 1852. Son John Bastow and Jane Henneburry. Purported to have moved to Western Canada, possibly Saskatchewan, before 1913. Probably a farmer and possibly married a second time to a woman from the Ukraine. May have had a limp or a problem from a farm accident.

Looking for any information at this stage.
