This company, or its successor, was still in business in 1968.
The Times of 12 March 1968 carries a large ad for Blyth Brothers & Co. Ltd of Port Louis, Mauritius, established 1830. An illustration dated 1842 shows a
"View of Port Louis with the barques Isabella Blyth arriving and Thomas Blyth departing".

A book was produced, apparently for the company's 150th birthday: Blyth Brothers and Company Limited, 1830-1980, by Marcelle Lagesse. Snippets are available on Google Books. The real book seems to be pretty hard to come by, with only 500 copies having been printed.
P.S. but according to ABE Books, there's a copy available from a Johannesburg dealer at the moment.

Yes, saw that and have been looking for Isabella christenings in Durham. There are a couple of possibilities on family search.
NOTE: There was a marriage between Thomas Blyth married Isabella Forster on 02 Apr 1793 at St George in the East (by license). Both of the parish. One of the witnesses was Elizabeth Forster.

Unfortunately the images of the Durham BTs for Gateshead on FamilySearch start from March 1769. The earliest ones there don't record the mothers and have no more information than above.
