Tour Scotland video of the Bastable memorial stained glass window on ancestry visit to Logie Kirk by Stirling, Scotland. To the Glory of God and in loving memory of our daughter Valerie Bastable, 1959 to 1991.
This unusual and interesting surname is of uncertain origin, but believed to be locational either from Barnstaple in Devonshire or Barstable Hall in Essex, England. The first recording of the Devonshire placename is spelt Beardastapol in 979, but had evolved into the form Barnestaple by 1086.
