What do you want to do with this Expat?

are you adding this? still running
I am not up to speed with all threads so need to know what you want to do with this
archive?

if there is a connection and you are happy about it then pls do add it

As with a couple of the other Bastable threads ... for Samuel Bastable and John William Bastable ( brothers?) ....the one connection I am unsure of is how the father John Bastable connects in to BCC.


I think he is this one here... born 1869
