This could be Thomas Blyth in the newspaper...

The Standard (London, England), Thursday, April 25, 1839

NOTE: if you look on a map, you'll see that Grove Road is near Limehouse.

Also, looking at burial registers, Thomas Blyth was buried at Limehouse St Anne on 27 Apr 1839. Age 75.

We haven't gone off-topic have we?

Sue2white can say if she would like the thread moved.

It doesn't matter if you have - they are all related to me!!
Just wish they were my direct line. I could be a millionaire!

We could go back to Mauritius, by way of Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives.

Their document ref. B/MIS/12/1 is an assignment of debt and securities to 'Thomas and Henry David Blyth of Limehouse, and James Blyth of Mauritius, merchants trading (as Thomas Blyth Sons & Co) in Mauritius', dated 23 Jan 1836 (from A2A).

Kerrywood, if you think it would be more appropriate on a different board now, I am happy for you to move it.

[Kerrywood]

Let's leave it for the moment.
