My great-great-grandfather was Thomas Bastin, who came to New Zealand in the mid 1800's. I have a birth certificate for him, born in 1862 to a Charles and Elizabeth Bastin.
Census records show a Charles Bastin (aged 76) and Elizabeth Bastin, nee Avery (aged 32!) in 1871. Bit of an age gap, but I suspect these are my great-great-great-grandparents.
Finding anything about these two is quite difficult from this side of the world. I would truly appreciate any help offered from anyone in the UK.
