Notes

Many of the family trees are incorrect, and you can see why, as follows: Thomas Bastian, brother of Henry Bastian born 1802, had a son named Henry who was born 1824 in Crowan. His brother Thomas whose son Henry travelled to Adelaide on the Ascendant with his uncle Henry and family, as in the 1851 Census, we see Henry Bastian born 1826, son of Henry and Jane, is residing with his sister Martha and husband Benjamin King listed as Brother in law. There is a death record on the Victorian BDM website for a Henry Bastian-477, his cousin, who lists his father as Thomas, Reg year 1887, Reg no 4313 and wife as Mary Brown. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bastian-477.

I have been unable to find migration record for Henry, there is another Henry Bastian and his brother Samuel whom migrated to Victoria, Australia from Germoe, Cornwall. It looks like Elizabeth his wife took the passage to Australia on her own in 1856.
