Edward Pearson Blyth, aged 92, with grand-daughters, Robin and Kitty Cook, at Campbell St, Hobart, Tas. 1932Welcome
to the web site of the Tasmanian Blyths, who came from Essex in England and have connections in Victoria and other mainland states, New Zealand, India, Ireland and the USA.

The surname BLYTH means "cheerful and gentle".

The Blyths were amongst the earliest settlers of Van Diemen's Land. William arrived in 1833. A wine merchant and farmer, he married Elizabeth, the only daughter of William and Sarah Crowther. Robert emigrated in 1841 as ship's surgeon. He went first to India then Norfolk Island before settling in Tasmania where he became the Warden of Sorell.

The descendants of William Blyth and Dr Robert Blyth include teachers, nurses, mechanics, servicemen, artists, musicians and businessmen. Thanks for writing to me.
