Looking for connections to the Edward Hastings family. He married Ellen Reynolds in 1851. His parents were Michael & Bridget (Stewart) Hastings from Co. Mayo, Ireland. He had a large family and probably died between the 1871 and 1881 census. His widow, Ellen, appears in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 census but I can't seem to track all the kids after the 1871 census.
Other Hastings of that time period might be related, too.
