Hi,
I am trying to trace my father's family Beashel, I think they originally came from Ireland, although I have been unable to find the ship they immigrated on. They settled in Moruya N.S.W., Australia, part of the family later moving to Sydney, N.S.W. Australia. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

Hi Sharon,
I am assuming something here so forgive me if I am wrong.
That is that you are in Australia yourself and are aware of the Beashels who are currently living and working in the Moruya district.
It is probably their ancestry you are interested in.

Adding this now......
So now I see tying your 2 threads together, Nellie Lewendon married Peter J. Beashel in 1922 in Parramatta.
How did she get here and how did Peter's forebears get here.?
The Beashels seem to have been producing children and getting married from 1866

hello there
I did wonder the same thing sue
it is not a common name and one that would be reasonably easy to trace!!! if that is possible ;D probably a descenadnt of patrick and margarets from the moruya region
if my memory servies me there was a colin beaschel who was an olympiann carried the flag for oz mght have been a sailor or rower ?

Hi,
Yes it is a uncommon name, and you would think it was easy to trace. I have been in touch with a descendant of Patrick and Margaret Beashel from Moruya, and we have both failed to link our trees together, although I believe them to be linked. Peter Joseph Beashel, was my Grandfather, he was born in 1887 and died in 1962. His wife was Nellie Lucy Lewendon, born in England in 1900 and died in Sydney in 1938( still looking for the boat she arrived on sometime around 1918-1922). His father was Joseph Beashel (died 1897 in N.S.W.) and his mother was Frances (Fanny) McGee. Joseph's father was Richard and his mother was Ellen. I have sent away for Joseph's death certificate to see if he was born in Ireland. I think maybe that Joseph if the link between the two family but I have been unable to find the connection.
Yes Colin Beashel the Olympian is a cousin several times removed.
Thank you for your interest, and thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers

Hi Ozy Bob,
The Peter Joseph Beashel, is actually my father Peter Beashel, he was 16 at the time of his enlistment into the army, being underage he used his father name, Peter Joseph. He was then sent to New Guinea, where he was on the Kokoda Track. It was discovered he was underage when in the Infirmary for some related jungle disease, and then sent back to Sydney. He later re-enlisted into the RAAF when he reached the appropriate age.
I am not sure about Alfred Beashel. It looks as though next of kin Is Glady R Beashel, maybe they are from the Moruya Beashel's.
Thanks for your help
Cheers

hello again sharon
may I ask if you have got the marriage certitifacte of your earliest ancestor
reason being that the marriage details are filled out /given by the persons involved rather than a death certiificate which relies on someone elses memories quite often
please excuse me if you have done all this allready
regards jenn

Hi Sha,
Could this be the spelling in Ireland for your man Joseph Beasly
-
Hi,
no I the only marriage certificate I have from this branch of my family tree is my mother and father's. Unfortunately my father had a very unhappy childhood losing his mother at age 12 and enduring living with a very unpleasant father until running away at age 16 to join the Army. Little is know about his family as he spoke rarely about them. I can never remember his talking about his mother father, or aunts & uncles.
cheers

Hi Ozzybob,
no I do not think that joseph Beasly is related as i have found records of some Beashel's living in Dublin. And I believe there are still Beashel's living in Ireland.
Cheers

Did anyone get a copy of Joseph Beashel marriage cert to confirm where he was born...... I have a Joseph born 1837 parents Richard Beashel and Eleanor ( Elen) Daly from Rush in Co.Dublin Ireland ..... its the only part of Ireland where you will find the name Beashel according to the 1901 census and am fairly confident thats where he came from.
-
Slightly on a side note, the Beashel family of Rush produced many merchant mariners. The website Irish Mariners has info on 5 of the family.
