At 1881 Census he was living at Bridewell Lane, Kettering and his occupation was given as local road foreman, in 1891, he was living at 12 Eden Street Kettering and occupation was Foreman-local road Board.

It is thought that William's wife, Sarah Holland, and her family were Romany Travellers (gypsy ).

When William died he was living at 19 Club St Kettering, England.

Most or all of William and Sarah's children were mostly referred to by their second names.

When she married for the 2nd time her occupation was given as Closer and her address was given as White Horse yard. In the 1861 Census, there is a Thomas and Martha Horn living next door to William Darlow and Sarah. Possibly Sarah's brother and sister in law from her first marriage. Also Sarah's brother Thomas aged 14 was living with William and Sarah in 1861.

Sarah's mother, Maria Smith, is said to have been a gypsy (sjholmes51-Ancestry.com). Robert Bernard Blackwell used to tell the family a story about someone in the Darlow family being a gypsy (Romany Traveller). He said that the women in the family used to sit around the fire smoking pipes and that the family used to talk in a different language. Dave Darlow, England, in July 2012 advises that they were told that Sarah Holland was a gypsy and his father could speak the gypsy language as could his grandfather and they learnt it from Sarah Darlow (Holland).

In 1872 when Charles Henry was born, Sarah and William were living at Box Meadow, Blatchinworth, Lancashire and William's occupation was given as brickmakers labourer. In April 1875 when Charles Henry died, William and Sarah were living at New Road, Dearnley Wuerdle, Lancashire.

50. Ada Primrose Darlow [1282] (William8, John 27, William6, John5, William4, William3, William2, William1) was born on 5 Mar 1874 in Dearnley Wuerdle, Lancashire, England, died on 29 Apr 1942 in Pakenham, Vic, Australia at age 68, and was buried on 30 Apr 1942 in Pakenham, Vic, Australia. Other names for Ada were Primrose Blackwell and Primrose Darlow.

General Notes: Whilst her birth was registered as Ada, she was christened Primrose, and was always known as Primrose, she was born at Dearnley Wuerdle, in the sub district of Wuerdle and Wardle, Registration district of Rochdale, County of Lancaster. Wardle is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, England. It lies amongst the foothills of the South Pennines, 1.8 miles (2.9 km) east-southeast of Whitworth, 2.5 miles (4 km) north-northwest of Rochdale and 12 miles (19 km) north-northeast of the city of Manchester.

Wardle is historically a part of Lancashire, The name Wardle is said to be derived from "Ward Hill", implying "fortified place". Brown Wardle Hill overlooks the village from the north, its name being derived from the Celtic word bron meaning "round".

Wardle, the most northerly settlement in Greater Manchester, encompasses small parts of Smallbridge and Dearnley urban areas contiguous with Rochdale. Lying within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire since the early 12th century, Wardle was anciently linked with Wuerdle, and lay within the township of Hundersfield and parish of Rochdale. Wuerdle and Wardle would later split from Hundersfield to form a township of itself, still within the parish of Rochdale and in the hundred of Salford.

Primrose was christened at St John the Baptist Church in Smallbridge in 1874, the same day as all her siblings other than the youngest who was not born until 1878

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Smallbridge like this:

"SMALLBRIDGE, a village and a chapelry in Rochdale parish, Lancashire. The village stands on the river Roch, 2 miles NE of Rochdale r. station; and has a post-office under Rochdale, and numerous factories. The chapelry was constituted in 1844, and curtailed in 1867. Rated property, within the original limits, about £15,000. Pop. in 1861, of the original chapelry, 5,644; of the chapelry as curtailed in 1867, 3,554. The property is much subdivided. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Manchester. Value, £425.* Patron, the Vicar of Rochdale. The church is good; and there are chapels for Independents and Methodists, and a national school."

It appears that Primrose's parents moved to Lancashire after the 1871 Census. It has recently been found that there was another sibling Charles Henry Darlow, (not known to us until 2013) who was also born in Lancashire in 1872 and died and was buried in Lancashire in 1875. In 1878, the youngest child of William and Sarah Darlow was born in Northamptonshire so presumably they returned to Kettering between 1875 and 1878.

In the 1881 Census Primrose was living at Bridwell Lane Kettering and her occupation was scholar, with place of birth given as Burnley, Lancashire.

At the 1891 Census Primrose was living at 12 Eden Street, Kettering and her occupation was dressmaker with place of birth recorded as Rochdale Lancashire.

At the 1911 census, Primrose was the head of the house, as William was in Australia. She was living at 6 Upper Street, Kettering, and her occupation was given as shoe trade Eyeleter.

Primrose left England on 9 October 1911 on the Ship Demosthenes on a 54 day voyage to Melbourne to meet her husband. With her were her step daughter, Inez 19, and children Doris 15, Gilbert 14, Bernie 11, Vincent 9, Ethel 8, Douglas 6, and Phyllis 3.

William met the family in Melbourne. He was share farming at Allambee at the time. As there was no work at Allambee for Inez she remained in Melbourne. The remainder of the family travelled to Allambee. Some time later, William was seriously ghoured by a bull and was unable to return to work on the farm, so after approximately 2 years at Allambee, the family moved to Nar Nar Goon where William opened a bootmakers shop.

Noted events in her life were:

• She had a residence in 1874 in Dearnley Wuerdle, Lancashire, England.

• She resided at 6 Upper Street, in 1911 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. Head of household as her husband William was already in Australia.

• She had a residence in 1942 in Nar Nar Goon, Vic, Australia.

Ada married William Blackwell [1283], son of Alfred Blackwell [1295] and Ann Miller [1294], on 21 Dec 1893 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. William was born on 25 Apr 1867 in Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, England, died on 3 Mar 1953 in Pakenham, Vic, Australia at age 85, and was buried on 4 Mar 1953 in Pakenham, Vic, Australia.

General Notes: 1871 and 1881 Census living at High Street Higham Ferrers. Occupation in 1881 was given as a shoe clicker. Shoemaker

William left England around 1909 on the ship Arawa and travelled to Melbourne, Vic, Australia, where he found work and earned enough money to send for his family about 2 years later.

Ada Primrose left England on 9 October 1911 on the Ship Demosthenes on a 54 day voyage to Melbourne, Vic, Australia, to meet her husband. With her were her step daughter, Inez, 19, and children Doris 15, Gilbert 14, Bernie 11, Vincent (Toby) 9, Ethel 8, Douglas 6, and Phyllis 3.

William met his family in Melbourne. He was share farming at Allambee at the time. As there was no work at Allambee for Inez, she remained in Melbourne. The remainder of the family travelled to Allambee with William. Some time later, William was seriously ghoured by a bull at Allambee and was unable to return to work on the farm, so after approximately 2 years at Allambee, the family moved to Nar Nar Goon, Vic, Australia, were William opened a boot makers shop. Robert Bernard Blackwell recounted how Allambee was totally covered by huge redgums and the family would lie in bed at night and hear the trees cracking and falling down in bad weather. One of the jobs on the farm was to clear the gum trees.

Inez had a dispute with her step mother a few years later and was never seen or heard from by the family again. I was finally able to trace Inez in early 2012.

General Notes: Douglas and his brother Paul married cousins, Theadora Morgan-Dawes and Alma Rose Dawes. Douglas and Dora lived in Dandenong for a short time after their marriage, but later moved to 52 Garfield Road, Garfield to the home of Dora's parents Alfred Dawes and the Morgan sisters to look after them in their old age. They probably had at least 2 children when they returned to Garfield, D. Geoff was born in the house at Garfield so they were certainly living in Garfield by 1933. Dora inherited the house at Garfield when her father died.

According to Douglas's brothers and those that knew him, he was a very intelligent man who was very good at fixing things and working things out. One of the Weatherhead's used to say that Douglas was the cleverest person he had ever met.

In 1937 Dora was expecting her 5th child and her health was not good. Douglas and Dora decided to hire a housekeeper in the short term to assist with domestic duties. They hired Cecilia Ryan, mother of the infamous Ronald Ryan. Pearl Madden recounted a story of the time when Cecilia's Husband Jack came to the house at 52 Garfield Road, Garfield and knocked on the front door asking to talk to his wife. Mrs Ryan did not want to talk to her husband, but he forced his way into the house and, armed with a bread knife, chased Cecilia around the kitchen table trying to stab her and shouting abuse. Pearl Blackwell grabbed her 2 younger brothers, Cliff and D. Geoff and run to the bedroom where the children hid under the bed until the commotion died down. I am uncertain if the police were called or if Jack Ryan simply calmed down and left. Allan Blackwell was born in 25 September 1937 and it is thought that Mrs Ryan left Garfield sometime after that time.

Douglas was blinded in one eye following a childhood accident. He was a dragline/dredge operator and during WW2 he worked for the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission and lived and worked away from home a great deal of the time. He began work at the State Rivers in approximately 1935 and was employed for 1 1/2 years as Fireman on Steam Boilers and then as Operator in charge of Caterpillar Diesel Engine Excavator. In 1939 Douglas began a correspondence course with the "International Correspondence School (A/sia) Pty Ltd. The course was on Diesel engine maintenance and repair which he continued until his death in 1942. There are many "percentage Certificate"s for this course and the lowest mark he ever obtained was 96% which was on the first paper he completed.

In October 1940 Douglas was working at Wodonga, on the Hume Weir. He joined the Federated Engine Drivers and Firemen's Association of NSW and had been a member of that Union's Victorian Branch up until 12 October 1940. His last letter to Dora from Wodonga was dated December 5 1940. In March 1941, Mr F Honeychurch of the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission at Koo-Wee-Rup wrote to Douglas offering him a position as a second Machine operator. It is assumed that Douglas took up this offer as there is a letter dated 23 December 1941 from the SR & WSC, East Melbourne, Koo-Wee-Rup branch signed by the District Officer introducing Douglas to the Captain Superintendent of Training at the Flinders Naval Depot at Crib Point (now known as Cerberus) and another letter dated 1942 from the Department of Defence, Flinders Naval Depot in the form of a Pass in and out of the depot. There is a letter from Douglas to Dora from the Flinders Naval Base is dated Jan 10th (1942). His next letter is c/- the Country Roads Board and is almost certainly sent from Fulham where he worked for a time. His letters continue to say c/- CRB until May 11th, 1942, when the heading changes back to SR&WS, and the location changes to Sale. He was working on the sewerage system in the area. After the Sewerage was completed it is thought that Douglas worked on a project at the Sale RAAF Station as there is a Special Pass dated 6 July 1942 for the hours of 0730 -1800 hours daily for the purposes of working.

There are several references in Douglas's letters to Dora to Sid Black and his wife. Sid Black was a Power Shovel Driver who also worked for the State Rivers and in 1942 was living at 77 Stawell Street, Sale. Douglas sometimes stayed with Sid when he returned to Sale from home at Garfield and then went out the works camp at Sale the following day. Sid's wife sometimes forwarded Douglas's pay to Dora. It is thought Sid's wife's name was Sheila.

There is an enlistment record on the National Archives of Australia website for the Allied Works Council, Civil Construction Corps Register noting Douglas's enrolment to serve from 4 June 1942 as a Drag Line Operator. The records states that Douglas was 5 feet 6" tall and weighed 9 stone 5 lbs. It noted that he had a weak right eye and on 11 September 1942 was ex State Rivers Sale to Brisbane. Under the general remarks section it states 17/9/1942. Wire from Brisbane re destination (see file Maries) deceased see file ....eligible for 2 days service leave.

On the 3rd of September 1942 Douglas received a letter from the SR&WSC Melbourne advising that the Allied Works Council was considering sending operators from Machine No's 21 and 27 to North Queensland and asking if Douglas would be interested in travelling up to his machine. His reply is unknown, but his next letter to Dora dated September 13th is from Brisbane. He spent some time at the Allied Works Camp at Chernside in Brisbane.

He left Brisbane to travel to Townsville on the evening of 1 October 1942 and arrived in Townsville at lunchtime on the 3rd of October and were sent out to "The Black River Camp" about 12 miles out of Townsville on the 5th of October. When he arrived at the camp he decided to try to locate the machines he was supposed to be operating. He found the machines at the Main Roads Camp and was upset to find that they had any number of operators for the machines and felt that his trip to Townsville was a wasted one so he went and spoke to the Engineer. The engineer advised that he would have "them" (Douglas & Frederick Ernest Maries of Shepparton) sent back to Melbourne. Douglas's last letter to Dora from the was dated October 7 1942. His service number was CV26213.

Douglas was in his tent at the Bohle River Civil Construction Corps Camp on the evening of the 9th of October 1942. He and his tent mate Frederick Ernest Maries were to leave the camp to return to Melbourne on the 10th of October. At around 6pm on the 9th, a blast went off from the nearby quarry. Maries was standing at the door of the tent watching the blasting and talking to Douglas about it, and when he did not receive a response from Douglas he turned around and saw Douglas lying on his stretcher with a wound to his head. He got help and an ambulance took Douglas to the Townsville General Hospital, but he died from his injuries at around 4.30 am on the 13th of October 1942.

The Bohle River Civil Construction Corps Camp where Douglas was staying was in close proximity to a quarry where blasting was undertaken on a regular basis. It appears that for some time there had been problems with stones from the blasting flying into the camp area and the powder monkey had reduced the charge to try to stop this happening, and discussions had also been held on moving the camp. According to the "powder monkey", Mr Arthur Hill, the camp and quarry were only about 150 yards apart as the crow flies. The powder monkey allowed 15 minutes prior to lighting the fuse and word of mouth and a whistle sounding was used as a warning of the impending blast. The police officer who attended the scene, Arthur Vincent Moylan advised that the tent in which Douglas was located was about 300 yards from No 1 quarry. The stone that was picked up near the tent was weighed and found to be 2lbs 3 ozs. This is thought to be the stone that hit Douglas in the head and caused the holes in the tent.

Dora received a telegram notifying her of Douglas's death. A second telegram was said to have been sent requesting Dora's decision as to whether Douglas's body was to be shipped back to Victoria for burial or whether he should be buried in Townsville. Dora never received this telegram and consequently the authorities buried Douglas in an unmarked grave in the Townsville cemetery. The existence of this telegram is quite uncertain, particularly in view of the fact that McKimmins Undertakers of Townsville buried Douglas at the New Cemetery in West Townsville on the 14th of October, the day after he died. Mr James Henry Joseph Kelly, the Officer in charge of personnel of the Allied Works Camp in Townsville advised that he sent at least three separate telegrams, to the Police at Garfield, the Deputy Director of Personnel in Melbourne and the Assistant Director of Personnel in Brisbane.

Ironically, all of Douglas's brothers served during WW2 and all survived, but Douglas who was in the Civil Construction Corp was killed.

Many years later, family friends, Hector and Jessie Elliot of Pakenham travelled to Townsville and Hector constructed a concrete headstone at Douglas's grave. His wife Dora was expecting her 7th child when he died. In 1963 Theadora Fenn (Blackwell) paid the Townsville Cemetery Trust to purchase the plot at the Townsville cemetery where Douglas was buried. She paid 10 pounds for the grave number 3, allotment 387, section F, and 2 pounds 2 shillings for the permit fee. This may have been to allow the headstone to be legally constructed, although this is uncertain.

Noted events in his life were:

• He worked as a Dredge operator.

• He resided at Government Road (later called Garfield Road) from circa 1931 to 1942 in Garfield, Vic, Australia.

Douglas married Theadora Morgan Dawes [241], daughter of Alfred Thomas Dawes [1278] and Frances Mary Ann Morgan [1288], on 1 May 1926 in Bunyip, Vic, Australia. Theadora was born on 1 Jan 1906 in Iona, Vic, Australia, died on 21 May 1979 in Warragul, Vic, Australia at age 73, and was buried on 23 May 1979 in Bunyip, Vic, Australia. Other names for Theadora were Dora Blackwell, Dora Dawes, Theadora Dawes, and Dora Fenn.

General Notes: Birth registered as Morgan. Always known as Dora.

Dora lived at Iona with her family and started school at the Iona State School in about 1913. They lived about 1/2 a mile from the Iona Post Office. They moved to Garfield in about 1916 and she attended Garfield State School Number 2724 until at least 1919.

After Dora and Douglas married, the lived in Dandenong for a short time, but returned to the Dawes family home where Douglas and Dora lived at home with her parents and cared for them until their deaths. She continued to live in the house that her father built, at 52 Garfield Road following her marriage and until her death in 1979. Her son, D Geoff, was born in that house in 1933. This house was sold following the death of Dora in 1979 and has since been renovated and sold several times. The original property was several acres, but part of the land was sold separately to Ken Towt, Dora's son-in-law. This piece of land was sold and a house was later constructed on it. Dora's house was situated at 52 Garfield Road Garfield, her son Geoff's house at what is now 46 Garfield Road, Garfield, Cliff's house at 42 Garfield Road, Garfield, Pearl's across the road on the corner of Barkers Road, and Garfield Road, and Beryl's later homes were in Archer Road in Garfield. Pax lived in Beaconsfield, Eve in Warragul and Alan at Beaconsfield, Upper Pakenham, and later in Drouin, whilst Geoff moved to Wonthaggi in 1973, he has continued to own the house at Garfield as well.

Dora was very family oriented and her home was always the hub of family visits, by both the Dawes and Blackwell families. Even after the death of her husband Douglas, Dora and the Blackwell family kept in touch with each other.

In 1937 Dora was expecting her 5th child and her health was not good. Douglas and Dora decided to hire a housekeeper in the short term to assist with domestic duties. They hired Cecilia Ryan, mother of the infamous Ronald Ryan. Pearl Madden recounted a story of the time when Cecilia's Husband Jack came to the house at 52 Garfield Road, Garfield and knocked on the front door asking to talk to his wife. Mrs Ryan did not want to talk to her husband, but he forced his way into the house and, armed with a bread knife, chased Cecilia around the kitchen table trying to stab her and shouting abuse. Pearl Blackwell grabbed her 2 younger brothers, Cliff and D. Geoff and run to the bedroom where the children hid under the bed until the commotion died down. I am uncertain if the police were called or if Jack Ryan simply calmed down and left. Allan Blackwell was born in 25 September 1937 and it is thought that Mrs Ryan left Garfield sometime after that time.

According to the book "The Hanged Man: The life and Death of Ronald Ryan by Mike Richards, published by Scribe Publications Melbourne in 2002, Cecilia had a son George b. 1915 by her first husband, George Thompson, she and George Thompson separated and she lived with John Ronald Ryan, known as Jack who was the father of Ronald, b. 1925, Violet b. 1927 and Irma b. 1929. Cecilia and Jack married in 1929 and Gloria was born in 1931.

Jack and Cecilia were both alcoholics and Jack was prone to bouts of violence whilst drunk and the children were neglected. Ronald was taken into care in late in 1936 and the 3 girls were taken into care in June 1937.

Following is an excerpt from the book from pages 25 and 26:-

"After losing all her children [Ron, Gloria, Irma and Violet] to wardships, Cecilia [Ryan] made a brave attempt to improve her situation. She had left Jack [Ryan] at Mitcham and taken a position as housekeeper with Douglas and Theadora Blackwell and their family at Garfield in Gippsland on the Princes Highway, some 80 miles south east of Melbourne. Cecilia moved back to Melbourne, where she took a further position as housekeeper for a man named Croaker living at 29 Park Street, Abbotsford. With her living conditions thus improved, Cecilia sought to have her children returned to her, as she had first done whilst at Garfield. In a plaintive letter to the secretary of the Children's Welfare Department, John Henry, Cecilia pointed out that Croaker was willing for her to have all her children with her, as she had been 'caring for his four little children so well':

Mr Croaker here has plenty of furniture and accommodation and as it is better for me to be earning my keep here and having the use of everything I thought I would write and ask if you would please let me have my children now. If not all of them at once surely you will give me little Gloria as she has such a terrible time with abscesses and I know it is only through fretting over me and she will never be well until you let her come to me.

I am away from my husband and got a good position and home and can give you good references from both the people I worked for at Gippsland and this man here to say how well I looked after both homes and children during the mother's absence........"

Mrs Ryan gave Dora and Douglas Blackwell a photograph of herself, Jack, George, Irma, Violet and Gloria, taken prior to the 3 girls being taken into care. This photograph and copies of it are still in the possession of the Blackwell family, with a note on the back about the bread knife incident written by Pearl Madden (nee Blackwell).

Dora was a very good seamstress, making many garments for her grandchildren. She also sewed, knitted and crocheted toys for her grandchildren as well as booties and baby clothes. She made picture scrap books that she gave away as presents.

She collected salt and pepper shakers for many many years, and her collection was divided amongst her 7 children when she died in 1979. She also collected small bottles. This collection was inherited by her granddaughter Coral Jones (Blackwell) who has continued the collection.

She was referred to as Nanna by all her grandchildren.

Noted events in her life were:

• She had a residence from 1906 to 1920 in Iona, Vic, Australia. approximate date of leaving.

• She resided at 50 Garfield Road from 1920 to 1979 in Garfield, Vic, Australia.

General Notes: Chris was a happy healthy little boy. At the age of about 4 years he was visiting his Grandmother with his family and had a fall and broke his leg. Unfortunately it took some time for the family to realise that he had also suffered a blow to his head during the fall and had developed a clot on his brain. Doctors at the time advised that he was too young to have an operation and would have to wait until he was 7-8 years old for the clot to be removed. The family followed the doctors advice and the clot was removed when Chris was about 7 years of age. Sadly, he suffered complications and brain damage. He remained at home for many years but as his parents aged they decided it would be best for him to be placed into institutional care. He spent many years at the Janefield Centre, in Melbourne. When this centre was closed he was then placed in residential care in Cranbourne.

Pearl and Jim had their home at Garfield modified to make Chris's visits easier. Chris came home regularly on weekends, and holidays, and was always happy to see the extended family when they visited. He always knew who his older cousins were, and never batted an eyelid when they came in with a new baby, but would always know who that baby was as the years passed, even though he saw them only occasionally.

As his parents health deteriorated it became more and more difficult for him to visit his home and in later years only day visits to his parents home were possible. Whilst he was unable to speak following his operation, he could certainly get his message across. He loved to work in the shed making things, and had a very large collection of keys. His favourite thing to do when he visited home was to watch he Three Stooges and he was extremely fond of sponge cake.

Approximately 10 years before his death he suffered a fractured hip from a fall, and was confined to a wheelchair. His health deteriorated rapidly and he died in 2008, just 2 years after his mother and one year after his father's death.

The Rialto Towers featured Melbourne's first skyscraper public observation deck which operated between 1994 and 31 December 2009 It was also the location of Melbourne's first Tower running event.

At the time of its completion it was the 23rd tallest building in the world and the 2nd tallest outside of the United States (behind First Canadian Place in Toronto, Canada). Construction of the Rialto Towers was completed in 1986.*(Wikipedia Feb 2012)

P G Wallace and Company installed the communications towers on the top of the Rialto building. Douglas, who was initially very unhappy working at height, soon got used to it, and would proudly recount the fact that he and his workmates used to fly paper aeroplanes from the roof of the Rialto building during its construction and the installation of the communications towers.

Douglas left this job with P.G. Wallace and Co in mid 1988 and commenced working for a company called Australnet Communications that installed car telephones that operated from Mount Waverley. This was an infant industry at the time.

In his younger years Douglas played the cornet in the Wonthaggi Citizens Band, and played competition table tennis at Wonthaggi. He also enjoyed archery. As a child and into adulthood he built and flew model planes, eventually branching out into radio controlled equipment including planes, cars and boats. He competitively raced radio controlled sailing boats on the Albert Park Lake in Melbourne.

As children, Douglas and his sisters learned to ride motorbikes, which were ridden at Garfield on Theadora Fenn's land which was about 6 acres. Eventually Douglas obtained his motorbike licence and rode his bike to work in Melbourne trying to save fuel costs. He had purchased a 125cc racing motorbike which he was preparing to race in 1989.

Douglas was on his way to work at his new job at Australnet Communications, where he had been working for only 2 weeks, when his motorcycle hit a speed hump in the road, only about 2 kms from his home in Glenhuntly. He lost control of the machine and was critically injured and taken to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, where he remained in a critical condition for one month, but finally succumbed to his injuries on the 5th of December 1988.

Douglas did not marry or have any children but loved his nieces and nephews dearly.
