    • Hi Pete,
      hope you get my mail. Since I eventually got internet in our village (between Hamburg and Bremen), I managed to find your name. How are you doing? Are you still in New Zealand? Would be delighted to have an answer.
      I am working in Bremen and bought a house in the country side. My mother is 85 years now, and living here, too. I am divorced (of course) and found a nice, new relationship, sharing work and country life with me.
      Kind regards

    So interesting to find out about Blasdales. Don’t know if we are related or not. My father, Albert Arthur Blasdale [one of 6 boys and a girl ] came to U.S with his uncle, Wilfred Wright , in early 1900’s

        • Sorry to hear your father Barry has had a stroke, same as far as the heart. Problem, but fourunatly I have not had open heart surgery. But 1994 did have an operation to remove cancer of the overy and womb. Survived that , and the then stroke. Plop! Well at least I’m still alive, not so my sister Ellen who died in Janaury 1990. From heart attack. They did not find her till 3 days later, bad stuff that. Oh, by the way how are your Nathan. Chad and Jason going? Last saw them 2008 , Nathan talked about training as a cook. I went to their mothers furneral. So sad to see Nathan, fall to the ground, crying with so much, with greif. The pastor read out Rev 21: 3 & 4, Great scripture, that. If I not wrong on that, spoke to Cathy about. some time b4 she died. 28th Aug 2004. 10 years goes so fast where, has the time gone? Glenys.

    My son, Patrick Blasdale (8), is doing a family tree. We have quite a lot of detail but are intersted in any details of Allen Blasdale – born around 1875 – who was my Great Grandfather or anyone else called Blasdale in that period or before. We have some details of his 4 brothers (Arthur, George, Joseph and John) and 2 sisters (Annie and Mary) I guess that with a name like Blasdale I must be related to anyone with the same name!!! Any help would be interesting. Thanks Nick Blasdale

    Please feel free to contact me via the aboves e-mail address. Am particulary looking forward to contact any blasdale that was born and bred in Nottingham UK. Trying to contact Fred Blasdale’s (killed in ww2 1940), sister who adopted a little girl 1945. Given name of child AUDREY. I will though be very pleased to be contacted by any of the BLASDALE clan from where ever. Also am trying to get a better picture of the history of the name BLASDALE and it’s dirivitives. Have tracked the name as far back as 1500’s. I have been corosponding with Steve for some time and also there are BLASDALE’s in South Australia. So we’re everywhere. But we could do with more on line. Cheers to you all. G.B.from OZ

  9. Blasdales

    Hi to all the Blasdales! – I’m currently researching my family tree and think I may have discovered a link with the Blasdale family in Nottingham. My fathers’ name is Michael Hallam-Clarke (and his father was George Hallam-Clarke) and I’d had no luck with name – My father has recently found a limited family tree that his father George drew up and it appears that Georges’ father (my great grandfather) was an Arthur Blasdale from Nottingham. We think he was married to a Beatrice Mary Adams (her maiden name?) and they had 7 children – John Arthur, Edward Adams, Roland Harry, James Blasdale, Harold (nickname Jelly), George (my grandfather) and Beatrice Jennifer (who we think was known as Jenny and married a vicar called Aggasi). At some point the family name changed to Clarke and we believe Arthur (and family) moved to Ramsgate in Kent where he was the Town Clerk. Does this tie into any existing Blasdale tree?

    My grandfather and father were both born in Nottingham.My gradfather had five children, Charles, (my father) Fred who was killed in the first world war and Doris, Ethel and Elsie. They are all now dead. The only one to have children was Charles, two sons John and Michael and Jean, all born in Warwickshire. John had two sons, Richard and Christopher, Jean had two sons Anthony and David Hadley and I had two sons Stephen and Peter. Does this help in any way. Best wishes Michael.

  12. Blasdale family

    I’m the daughter of Jean and Herbert Halsey Blasdale, born in Berkeley, CA in 1953. My mother was in contact with Christopher Blasdale a couple of years ago, and learned that he was putting together a book about the Blasdale family genealogy. She hasn’t been able to keep in touch with him (she has no access to the Internet) but is curious to find out what has happened to the project.My father, Herbert Halsey Blasdale, was born in Berkeley, California on August 8, 1910.My grandfather was Walter Blasdale.My great grandfather was Charles Blasdale.At the moment, I am on vacation with my mother so I do not have access to the genealogical data she has put together or I would be able to give you more information.Any response would be great!Thanks!Janice Blasdale Davenport

    • Hello Janice: I am a cousin through the Bevans family which was your mother’s line. She had sent me a copy of Bevans History and some pictures that I had made off and I returned to her. She told me you had more very old family pictures. I would certainly like to get copies of them and would pay cost and mailing. She had a couple of my direct defendants that I did not have so I was most grateful. We also visited in the phone a couple of times. I hope you see this and will help me by getting prints made. If course with cell phone now it is easy to photograph them and email. Look forward to hearing back from you.

    • Hi Michael
      That is my father you speak of . It is quite touching for you to speak of my father like that . Hes a good man and father who battled all his life .gave his children all we needed . I and my older brother have spoken about taking him over to the uk for his 80th birthday so he can show us his fathers place of rest as well as hopefully meet some of our relatives( thats u guys 😀) I really hope to be able to do this as after his stroke and heart operations i just do not know how many more chances he will have to go home to where he was born … more so with his two boys ..i will be sure to contact with further details .. Take care
      Many regards

  23. more blasdales

    Hi, like everyone else I’m interested to hear of other blasdales. My fathers family are from the Nottingham area – seems to be a common link. My grandfather was Edward Allen Blasdale, Known as Allen, born 1895. Must be related to the grandfather of one of your other correspondants – same unusual spelling of the christian name. My father was an only child (as far as we know!)so it can’t be the same man.I have put together a rough family tree of what i can find of our branch for the last4 generations and would be interested to see if it slots in with anyone elses. Music seems to feature quite a lot – my great great grandfather Arthur was a composer, and other members v musical. have others found this?

    Further information for Patrick Blasdale: Your great great grandfather Allen had 4 brothers, Joseph, George, Arthur and John and 2 sisters, Annie and mary. Arthur was my great grandfather.We have a son called Patrick too, aged 10, and daughters Kirsty and Anna (though unfortunately not Blasdales!) so you have a distant cousin Patrick.My dad is Philip Blasdale – I am sure you already have details of that side of the family as i think he and your grandad (? Derek) were in touch.Good luck with the rest of the family tree!

  46. Iam Susan Blasdale (now Smith) My father was Stanley Leonard Blasdale born 1910 from Nottingham. His mother was Blanche Blasdale. I have three sisters, Patricia, Betty and Jean. We emigated to Australia in 1946 but now all live back in Nottinghamshire. I understand my father never knew who his father was and I would be really interested if any other Blasdales out there had any info. on my father`s family as I know virtually nothing about them. Cheers!

  50. Blimey – some things are a bit wierd, like finding a Blasdale website!! and also finding my Auntie Dawn – who I haven’t seen for 20 years – posted a blog a couple of years ago.
    My name is Lee Blasdale originally from Coventry. My Dad is Denis Blasdale whose father and grand father were both called John Ernest Blasdale from Leicester. Has anyone tried mapping a family tree, and can I help?

    • Hi! Rebecca. Yes there are Blasdale’s out there in Australia. Get hold of the Adelaide. South Australia, phone book to start. There are a few in Western Australia as well. Try on the web for phone books and I think there may also be some in New South Wales. I was looking up ‘ancestry.com.uk’ and such web sites. So it’s interesting to find out also that in the United States, they figure prominently in it’s history. There was a fameos concert piano player who died some time ago. Also a Blasdale who survived the American civil war of 1863 and settled in Navarda. So if you look up miltary records it’s a facenating jorney. The one i’m most familar with is a Fred Blasdale who was killed at Dunkirk in ww2 in 1940 he came from Carlton, in Nottingham. Military records can help you to piece together a conection with others that can surprise you. I hope this has helped. Glenys

  59. My great grandmother married Ernest Arthur Blasdale. He was from Nottingham originally but settled in Ilkeston. He sadly died of a brain hemorrage in his 40’s. He’ll have been born around 1880 He was a mining engineer. My grandmother was a Blasdale but married Jack Hodgett who was father to my mum. We’ve photos and memorabilia anyone related might like to see.
