Notes - The records for his birth, baptism and arrival in Victoria, spell the name Blythe but in Victoria the "e" seems to have been dropped, Daniel and Agnes emigrated to Australia as assisted immigrants with their two children, John who was nine and EElizabeth aged three, they sailed from Plymouth on board the "Tasman" of 567 tons on 15 June 1848 arriving at Port Phillip on 18 October after a voyage which lasted just over 4 months, they may have gone to Geelong where Agnes' mother disembarkeked but they soon settled in Brunswick. In 1863 he is recorded in the Sands & MacDougall directory in Albert Street and later in Sydney Road, Brunswick. He was an early resident in Brunswick, in the late 1840's, he was a Grocer and owned severaal properties, later he built a brick shop at the corner of Albert Street and Sydney Road; it was a butcher's shop which remained there until 1917 when it became a fish shop, by 1872 Daniel had moved to a residence in Sydney Road, north of Albion Street, Blyth Street in Brunswick is named after him, he was very well regarded in the area. Daniel's Will mentions some of his siblings and a couple of their descendants, this was instrumental in tracing those people.
