Just wondering whether I need to wait for marriage lookup for Samuel or whether you think the following info. is OK to add anyway?

This Samuel on BCC...

I think may be this Samuel Bastable ( Coseley fits :wink: ) ...

There is a Probate record for him....

NL,
Think you are right about waiting for the lookup...... do you want to archive for now?

I meant to put the link to Samuel not Samson in that family .... getting my Bastables mixed up :roll:

I have come across quite a few Bastables in the military records ... I will work through the other bits of info. I found and see if I can find any others on BCC
