Staffordshire / Re: Blymhill Church Graveyard Plan
« on: Thursday 05 June 25 19:27 BST (UK) »
In answer to your question about a Staffordshire Family History group, it may be worth your time looking at the web site of Midland Ancestors https://midland-ancestors.uk
I have a copy of their CD for Staffordshire Monumental Inscriptions, unfortunately Blymhill is not included. However, if you make contact there may be someone with the information you seek.
Best of luck.

The original post asked for burial details.
I believe that the burials took place at Yardley Cemetery, Yardley Road, South Yardley, Birmingham, B25 8NA in December 1940.
Detail is available from Birmingham City Council at: www.birminghamburialrecords.co.uk

Lancashire / Re: Manchester Quarter Session Records Help
« on: Monday 19 February 24 23:16 GMT (UK) »
The Manchester Weekly Times dated Saturday December 14 1889 carried an article about the case.
Abraham Hampson and Peter Jefferies were indicted for having, at Gorton, on 20th October, engaged in a scuttling affray. Jefferies pleaded guilty; Hampson was tried and found guilty. They would each be sentenced to nine months imprisonment with hard labour.
NB: 'Scuttling' described in the article as being armed with belts and sticks and stones to create disturbances.

The National Burial Index has the burial of 44 year old Edward Goode at Shotteswell, St Laurence on 10 October 1831. The source document is the Parish Register. There does not appear to be a gravestone for this burial
There is a gravestone to the memory of Edward Goode who died May the 24th 1794 aged 75 years. The Parish Register records his burial on 26th May 1794

"of Blackford"
Looking at a current map of the Solihull/Shirley District (Post Code B90) Tanworth Lane runs southwards from it's junction with the Stratford Road. After just over a quarter of a mile from the Stratford Road, on the right hand side, is the junction of Dickens Heath Road. Blackford House stood at this junction on the west side of Tanworth Lane and the south side of Dickens Heath Road. Source: Ordnance Survey Warwickshire Sheet XIX.SE published 1886, available to view fron the National Library of Scotland.

In you original post you say "I'm trying to find how my 2 X great grandfather came to Australia".
The National Archives www.nationalarchives.gov.uk has a number of important records for newly arrived Australian migrants. The Colonial Office papers relating to the governance of New South Wales during the nineteenth century all contain names of emigrants. They can be found in series CO 201, CO 202, CO 360 and CO 369. Censuses were taken at various points from 1788 onwards and are recorded in series HO 10.
The above papers may give a clue as to how John Edwin Allen travelled to Australia.
