Tom Blyth originally from Massachusetts. Son of James Blyth of Everrett and Medford Ma. Grandfather was Arthur Blyth of Medford, died 1965. There the trail goes cold. Arthur was an orphan. No record of whether Blyth was birth or adopted name. We believe he was sent to live with another family in Everett. Would welcome any possible leads as the little leaves have stopped appearing.

My Family tree has a Blyth who came from the Edinburgh district (Jane ). She was married to a William Donkin - who may have been Duncan in the census . They moved to Stoke-On-Trent . Still trying to find out if he was born in Stoke on Trent or in Scotland .

I've been tracing my ancestry from Robert Blyth (Kennoway, Fifeshire, Scotland 1788 - 1854), married Margaret Brown (1790 - 1869) and came to Canada in 1832 or 1834. I have quite a bit of info on the Blyth's but have some discrepancies. Would be willing to exchange any info with you. Thanks!

I have a photo of David Spence Blyth's Brother Andrew. He came to Australia some time prior to 1879. I have not found him on a shipping list yet. Andrew is my great great grandfather. He married Cecelia Wensley in 1879. They had a daughter, Lutheran aka Lauretta Blyth who married David Apps.

David Spence Blyth and Ann Imrie Higgie/ Heggie are my great grandparents. I have a very poor copy of a photo of Ann and feel sure another copy will have made its way down another branch of the family tree; can you help?

Hello David. Have been away from home for a month or so - so sorry about delay in reply. Have searched my Blyths for a "Miller" which seems to be a distinguishing feature in your family. So far no luck - but I will keep trying

Hi! Apologies for delay in responding. David Miller Blyth was the name of my father bn. 1942 and my grandfather bn 1921. Family was originally from Sunderland. Could we be related? My grandfather had a brother called George Miller Blyth and another one called Ernie (Ernest) Miller Blyth. I believe they also had a sister named Mary. David

Hi Christopher

You talk of your grandmother as if I didn't know her.
She was my mothers sister. I took my mother to her funeral in Norfolk.
I thought of your grandmother when I viewed the house I am now living in, it is in Ward Road Southsea. I thought it was a good omen.
Please give my regards to your father, (my cousin).

By the way, where are you living?

If I hear any more news of the Blyth history I will let you know.

God bless you and yours.

I am not sure I have ever gotten back to you on this...if not I apologize (we had anew baby and moved in 2009 and getting settled has taken alot of time). Anyway, a big mystery for me has been what happened to George E. Blyth. His daughter stayed Orleans Co., New York and is found in cemetery records but I couln never find the parents. I recently upgraded to an international subscription and lo and behold there is a probate record of George E. Blyth's death and him giving his effects to his son Frederick Edwin. So George William and Frederick were brothers. So many more questions around why Frederick stayed behind!
Do you have any more info on when they were in Newfoundland?
Sincerely,
Melissa

johnburford_1 — 2011-02-01 09:09:47Z

I am researching my Blyth ancestors who were mainly on the Scottish borders [Kelso etc].My great grandparetns were James Blyth born 1848 in Sprouston and Jessie Cowan Wilson born in 1850 in Kelso. James parents were John Blyth and Mary Ann Smith, both born in Northumberland in 1823 and 1825. The other children of John and Mary Ann were John [died - unmarried - in Utah], Anne, Helen, Charles, Mary Ann, and Isabella. I think they were all born in Sprouston Scotland. Mary Ann married John White. They both died in Sheilstock Braes in the 1950s. They had two sons - Charles White and John Blyth White. There my research comes to an end.Can anyone help with this line? Thank you. John Burford

He died in Sept 1st 1989 in Blackpool. Is this a connection for you if so who's child are you?

HI John
My James Blyth was supposedly born in 1811/1812 in mains strathmartine dundee he was a member of the 21st royal fusiliers and was stationed in Western Australia in 1833 he was discharged from the army and married Comfort Stanton and settled in Western Australia. According to information I have had from people his father was William Blyth and his mother Ann Graham, we have never been able to categorically prove this as a record can not be found.

Hi Terry,

Many thanks for your message. I was really interested to find out about Peter, because I haven't been able to trace him anywhere. I'll invite you to look at the Macinnes tree too, though I haven't actually done this before, so you may have to be patient!
You'll see that I have quite a lot of info about Peter and his brothers, but I can send you more details (occupations, locations, etc.) later if you like.
Regards,
Douglas

Re: Blyth

Douglas,

There is indeed a link! I thought it was quite remote but looking again it isn't really!
Peter McInnes married Jane Blyth daughter of Andrew Blyth and Rachel Dunsire of Methilhill, Wemyss. Jane Blyth was my grandfather, John Dunsire Blyth's sister.
I have loads of information on the Blyths on my tree.I also have some details of the McInnes's but you will have more. Please look at my tree for details. I will send an invite to you through your user name
It's lovely to make a connection through the Blyths!

Re: Blyth

Hi Terry,

Just wondering whether one of my great uncles might be related to you? His name is Peter Macinnes and he was born in Glencoe in 1887. His brother Donald was my grandfather.
I am vaguely aware of a Fife connection through marriage...
Anyway, I'd be grateful for any information you may have.

Hello

My father James b.1924 was the son of Agnes Muir b.1886 Lady, Orkney & William McLean Blyth b.1886 in Freuchie, Fife. James was born Musselburgh,Scotland. Agnes died during birth and James was raised but not adopted by relatives.
He had two older brothers named William & Robert.I also believe that James grandparents were Robert & Isabella Blyth from Freuchie

I would love to know a bit about this side of the family is anyone can help

Regards

Angie

Re: Pictures of my family( Blyth)

bjblyth78 — 2010-05-28 17:06:19Z

the names are so strikingly similar, it is positively eerie, however, the picture I have of the Wm. Thomas Blyth family indicates the Wm. Thomas was born around the same time as your gf, however, he was born in Lambton Mills in Ontario, Can. (now part of Toronto). His son Wm. Howland was born in 1876 n in Ont. but shortly after the family moved to the Red River in Manitoba and Wms. son Ralph was born in Saskatewan in 1907- he was my father-in-law. The names and dates are so close that it seems there should be some connection. Wm Thomas' father came to Canada as a widower with a grown daughter who was a widow and who ended up marrying a Wm. Howland who was American but became one of the Fathers of Confederation. Whether there were other family members who emigrated to America or not, I don't know.

Re: Byth's of Huggate, Yorkshire

cathpair_1 — 2010-03-23 01:39:11Z

Hi Wendy
Just by chance I thought I might check to see if anyone knew anything of the Blyth's from Huggate,and you had recently been on the message board. I haven't been checking for a couple of years, so this was lucky.
So Emily was my Grandmother who married Arthur Hall and had 5 children, William (Charlie) my Dad, Thomas, Sam, Mary and Enid. The boys all trained racehorses, Dad in Towton and Sam and Thomas at Middleham, Yorks.
I moved to Canada, Manitoba in 2003 with my family to farm, a great move, and discovered others of my family already here.
Contact me at cathpair@inetlink.ca
Look forward to hearing from you and I'll fill you in with all the news.

Re: Blyth

wbgro — 2010-03-21 02:16:27Z

I haven't anything new on your line, but in your wondering about Duncan being Donkin, I would say that there was a Duncan family from Fife that had ties to the Blyth's as well. For example, there was a John Duncan Blyth with a son John (born circa 1826). My Ann Mathew that married a different John Blyth, than the above, had a grandmother Mary Duncan from Fife. So I would guess it is Duncan, not Donkin, unless you have good reason to believe otherwise.

I'll let you know if I come across anything.

Thanks,
