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…

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!

WELL I NEVER !!

How Bizzare, i was just seaching on this Website (Which by the way may i state is very well done) and to my surprise, My sister Ruth, half sister Carol and Brother Michael have already logged in and told me nothing about it…. I never would have believed that there was so many Blasdales in this world. My Grandad JOHN BLASDALE from Nottingham, i would love any information any one thinks they know. As for all the other Blasdales out there, well i guess you all thought your name was different as well…. This website proves us all wrong in the nicest way possible….. Good luck to you all and take care…..Always Samantha R Blasdale (One of many) x

Hi, my name is Diane Blasdale. I am 52 years old and have a 10 year old daughter Rebecca. I was born in Nottingham where I still live, my father was James Blasdale, he had a brother Leonard and 2 sisters Phyliss and Anice.My grandparents were also from Nottingham. I am aware relatives on my dad’s side emigrated to Australia some time ago.I wonder if I have relatives out there or whereever.It would be great to hear from anyone who thinks we might be related.

Best wishes to all the Blasdales out there from Diane and Rebecca.x

Just got to say thanks to Steve for such a fabulous collection of photos and to Rosemary for your patience!….if anyone there enjoyed it only half as much as we did then they were still having a great time! Have emailed a link to your site to as many folks as I have email addresses for..
Loadsa love and see you soon, Tessa & Robin.

The fridge being down that end does open up the kitchen, doesn’t it?

WOW!I DIDN’T REALISE THERE WERE SO MANY BLASDALES OUT THERE. WE LIVE IN NOTTINGHAM, MY HUSBAND IS ANTHONY BLASDALE, HE HAS A BROTHER CALLED PAUL AND THEIR FATHER WAS CALLED DENNIS. I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ADD US TO THE LIST.

I couldn’t agree more – go nuclear! The world’s population is growing far too fast to be satisfied by intermittent, low-output technology. What we should really be doing is concentrating on insulating ourselves from being held to ransom by other countries. France has got it right.

HELLO TO

– SAME BLASDALES THAT STAYED WITH US IN BOSCOMBE NEAR BOURNEMOUTH
LATE 80’S EARLY 90’S? WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

SORRY CANT HELP WITH YOUR FAMILY TREE BUT LUCK TO EVERYONE.

Ian Blasdale from Coventry. Grandson of George Blasdale

Go for it, Steve – kick it into touch. :))

Hello everyone of you Blasdales, I am the dad of Lee who will be 40 on the 7th April and together with Lucy, they are expecting their first child in June. I’m sure all you lovely Blasdale people will want to join me in wishing them all the best. Then to those of the Blasdale clan that I am hearing about for the first time, I trust you are enjoying a happy and healthy life where
ever in the world you may be.

Ah ha, I had precisely the same problem. Infuriating, isn’t it?

Charles Wells beers are off the moment they are made – to be avoided like the plague. 😉

And a very enjoyable week it was, too, even if the weather didn’t cooperate as well as it might. Thanks you both for allowing us to share it with you and now for the detox campaign. 😉

Vegetarian!? Are you feeling all right? Maybe the flight upset you.

Super Photos
Glad you are having a great time
Dad

I too wished I had seen the Condors, although I think our lunch was much better than yours! Lorraine

Star Photos – definitely the way to go. You’ve got some very nice shots. I particularly like the nicely posed lizard with the red throat. the flight shots of the gull with black wing tips and the first pelican shot are also excellent (nice clearly focussed eyes).

Just indulge an old Odonata softie and add the Striped Saddlebags with the wasp cloned out.

Very nice pictures of the wild life.
Where next?

My one close friend also went to Fermain bay had diner I think, he was praising the taste, I love everything about Guernsey, I think words cant explain this place, after having approximately 5-6 visits there in last 10 years, I love restaurants in Guernsey and beaches were out of the world.

Hi steve and rosemary, It’s me again. above e-mail now is what i’m sticking with at present, hope others will die a natural death. Your welcome to come and walk around our lakes and dams. It proberbly will be like your summer.
I hope you liked the photo. Not the most complementy. Oh well. Can’t all be perfect.
Haven’t heard from you in a while, supposed you running aroung like a blue bum fly, as we say in oz. Since i got my laptop I’ve been very busy trying to down size my gear thorough ‘gumtree’ It’s also been great checking out your rentals and finding them so much cheaper than here in Perth. Prices have shot up so much people are finding that they are paying for a room what they used to pay for a house not so long ago.
A friend who is a computer wiz like you has just gone back to India. He and his friends have helped me lots with using my p.c. Plus I’ve been trying out new things. I sent him a pic today, not me of course but “the mona lisa” titled oh! what a lovely babe.
I know of a person who looks a lot like the ‘mona lisa” she does not agree but I think I will sent her a copy and see what she thinks.
Mind you I now realise why the guy who sold it to me, sold it cheap, while typing it jumps over to another part of the screen and closes down a page while i’m using it. Well it will have to do for now, till i go overseas. Thinking of going to India first and staying about a month then on to the U.K. Priya say that if i go about Septmber/ October it won’t be to hot then. It will be good to meet other people and experience a different culture. He would be an interesting person for u to meet. If you like and he says o,k I’ll send you his e-mail. You would have a lot in common. I meet him on the train going to Perth. He says he is glad to be back home because the food is more in tune with his stomach. Hot and spicy. He was working for IBM in Perth. I think he wanted to stay a bit longer in Perth but they would not sponser him. He was overseeing their day to day operations in their I T department. I gess that’s a highly skilled talent. Is it?
I’ve registerd for the ‘Blasdale Blog’ site, that will be another thing to challage me, bring it on.
Well as much as I’d like to rattle on, my neck is giving me pain and It’s getting on for one am here, so the body says sleep so i must obey.
Cheers and good health and all that to you and yours. Glenys

You seem to be having a super time and you even get paid for it!!

Amazing ‘photos. Why not retire and become a full time photographer?
I wonder how many more times you will get to Glastonbury!!
Hope all goes well with you both.
Love from the O.M.

Lovely collection of photographs, we are enjoying lo9oking at them, especially as M was not there! Why none of Rosemary?

Marvellous photos Steve

Hi, Elaine saw your posting on ‘Blasdale’ site perhaps you would, like to reply ASAP. Glenys

Is this group still active? I am in the United States. My Grandmother was a Hossack. Her Grandparents emigrated in about 1873. Robert Hossack and Jane Campbell Hossack. I would be interested in learning more about the history of the Hossack family.

Thank you!!1

Wonderful holiday Steve. Thanks so much for sharing, we’ve really enjoyed reading of your adventure. Big well done for getting to the top, fab achievement.

Really enjoying reading this blog. Can’t wait for the next episode. Great photos.

Amazing trip.
Great photos.
Loved looking at a few places I have been lucky enough to visit too.

Love the book Christmas tree. Looks like Canons Ashby is well worth a visit any time of year.

Fabulous photos from a phone
