George August BESTALL ended up in Victoria, Australia with a second wife and three sons.
Let me know if you still need the details.

I have been trying to find Audley William John Bestall’s father George Augustus Bestall for many years but with no success.
However there was a posting before my post was split up regarding him.  Could you please send me that information and advise me how I might further look into his whereabouts and that of his ancestors?
Thank you.

Hello Ray,
How fascinating.  I would love to know more please?  Perhaps we’re related?
Tasmania!  He was last traced to the USA?!

Hi Jill,
George Augustus Bestall appears to have married a second time to Catherine Hearn or Ahearn after the death of Margaret nee Caldwell in 1861.
I haven't found the marriage.
In 1865 they had a son George in Prahran, a Melbourne suburb.  George died in 1918 in Oakleigh, another Melbourne suburb.
Another son William was born c 1870 (record not found).  He married and had children, and died in 1944 in Oakleigh.
Another son Augustus was born c 1874 (record not found). He died in 1904 in Fitzroy South, a Melbourne suburb, apparently unmarried.
George Augustus Bestall died in 1892 in Collingwood, a Melbourne suburb.  He had been a hotel licensee for some years.
Catherine Bestall died in Fitzroy South.
One of my relatives married a brother of George Augustus, Abraham, who died at Camolin, County Wexford.  He had been the medical officer and registrar at Camolin.
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,

I have read your post with great interest and all the details you have unearthed on the family history.

Agadowey on an earlier post (which somehow got high jacked by another member’s posting) on the subject 14 April 2019 suggested that George Augustus Bestall c1822-1902 died in Chicago? 

Do you have any evidence that your Australian George Augustus Bestall remarried and had three further sons was the same as my George Augustus Bestall?  I have never seen him placed in Australia.  Is there more than one George maybe?  If he arrived in Australia did he travel alone or with his motherless children?
Do you have a death certificate and does it match the date and place of birth with mine?

You think he died in a Melbourne suburb in 1892 but Agadowey thinks he died in Chicago in 1902.  I am confused?!

What do you think?

Hi Jill,

The one who died in the US was a George J Bestall, different man.

The death notice for George Augustus Bestall in Victoria refers to his father and two of his brothers.
