Notes
General:
Francis Blackwell and Frances Barker both signed their names in the Parish Registers. Francis and Francis are definitely the parents of John Blackwell. DNA has confirmed their relationship to our John Blackwell, although John always maintained he was born in Higham Ferrers but was apparently born in Nassington and moved to Earls Barton/Higham Ferrers as an adult. His parents and some siblings remained in Nassington and Peterborough. His brother Francis moved to the same area as John.

John Blackwell and Ruth Clarke were married at Wilby in 1817 and Francis Blackwell (Jnr) married Ruth James at Wilby in 1824.

12 Dec 2023: Today I have woken to find several DNA matches with Geoff Blackwell and other descendants of Francis and Frances Blackwell, proving my theory to be correct. After 40 years to find them at last.

Drakards Stamford News 3 July 1829 page 3
On Tuesday the 16th Ult., as Mr Francis Blackwell of Nassington, Northamptonshire, was going to a wood with his timber carriage and jib, he met with a severe injury, from the imprudence of the boy who had the charge of the horses, in letting the gate close before the whole had passed, by which the jib was caught, and turned over upon Mr Blackwell. The horses were instantly stopped, and he escaped without any of his limbs being fractured, but he was very much bruised; had, however, the horses been allowed to go forward, the probability is that he would have been killed. His son, who stopped the horses, had also a narrow escape on the same evading. He was struck on the head by a lever with which he was removing a tree, and was for 10-15 minutes apparently deprived of animation. He has not since been so fortunate, for on Thursday last he was struck upon the head by a handle of a crane which was out of order and which was directed not to be used, and his skull was bared to a considerably extent. He is not yet out of danger, but hopes are entertained that he may recover. All three accidents occurred in the parish of Nassington.

I obtained the death certificate for 1844 which the GRO indexes had listed as the death of Francis Blackwell, but when the certificate arrived, it turned out to be a John Blackwell, a farmer aged 76 years of age, rather than Francis Blackwell as it had stated in the indexes.There is a notation on the side of the entry advising that John should read Francis Blackwell and that the entry was changed in 1844. Francis's occupation is given as farmer on the death certificate and an Elizabeth Setchell was present at his death at the age of 76 years 1069

Death of Mr G D Blackwell
Mr Gilbert Darlow Blackwell who passed away in the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital on August 26th after suffering from poor health over the past 12 months, was an old Nar Nar Goon Resident.

He was the eldest son of the Late Mr. William Blackwell, who conducted a boot and repair shop in Mulcare Street, Nar Nar Goon for very many years.

Gilbert Blackwell was born at Kettering, Northamptonshire, In England in 1895, and migrated to Australia with his parents and brothers and sisters at the age of 15 years, arriving in Australia in 1910. [actually December 1911].

The family took up farming at Allambee in South Gippsland till 1912 and then moved to Nar Nar Goon, where Mr William Blackwell purchased the boot business.

Gilbert worked at various occupations (farm work etc.) around Nar Nar Goon until the out-break of war in 1914, when he enlisted in the A.I.F. and served with the 4th Vickers Machine Gun Battalion in France for the full period to the end of the War in 1918.

Whilst awaiting repatriation to come back to Australia, he spent leave in England and returned to the place of his birth, Kettering and married a former school pal. He brought his bride back to Australia in 1919 and took up residence at Ormond. He was engaged in the trade of coach painting and sign writing in which he was a top class tradesman, for many years and he took over the business of Grant Bros. body works, coach painting and sign writing in Station Street, Malvern, which he conducted successfully till he retired in 1965. (
Additional to this article:- from the family....... He took over the business of Grant Bros Body works, coach bulding and sign writing in Station Street Malvern, he conducted a successful business until in the 1950's the building was sold. His son in law and he then purchased a service station in East Kew, where both he and Annie resided until they went under. They then purchased a house behind the shops in Shepardson Avenue Carnegie.

Whilst he resided in Ormond
(and Carnegie) he and his wife were actively associated with sporting bodies (especially cricket).

His greatest love was his Church, and he was very active in the Church of Christ in North Road, Ormond, from 1922 till his death. He served in every conceivable way - Sunday School teacher, Bible classes, secretary, superintendent - he was indeed a very Christian man which was shown by the huge attendance at the Church service and the wonderful tributes paid him by the Minister.

Mr Blackwell's wife predeceased him two years [actually five years] ago after a marriage lasting 50 years. He is survived by two married daughters - Mrs M Knee, of Ormond, and Mrs J MacMillan [sic] of Yarra Glen; sisters, Miss Phyllis Blackwell, Nar Nar Goon, Mrs E Jones, Dandenong, brothers Mr R Blackwell, Clayton, Mr P Blackwell, Dandenong, and Mr E Blackwell Nar Nar Goon.

Mr Blackwell always kept in touch with all the local doings and up to his illness, always came up to Nar Nar Goon at every opportunity. His passing will be a sad loss to all as he was always a cheery and happy gentleman."

Wedding Bells

Towt - Blackwell
Fortune smiled and the sun shone for the wedding on Saturday of Pax, eldest daugther of the late Mr D Blackwell, and of Mrs Blackwell, of Garfield, and Kenneth, only son of Mr and Mrs P Towt of Bunyip.

The bride who was given away by her grandfather, Mr Blackwell, of Nar Nar Goon, wore a long-sleeved dress of fine french wool with three parallel rows of white embroidered flowers. Her extensive tulle veil was held with fresh flowers matching those that formed her bouquet and trail.

She was attended by Misses Pearl Blackwell and Angela Connelly, who were charmingly frocked in blue net the short veils being held with head-sprays of deep pink rose-buds, carnations and blue hyacinths. The bouquets matched the head-sprays and were finished with wide blue ribbon. Both wore pearls.

The best man and groomsman were Messrs Morris Lobb and Ian Forte respectively, and the service was taken by the Rev. N McLean, who later presided when the guests were entertained to a sumptuous banquet in the Garfield Hall. The bridal party left for Warragul, where the wedding photos were taken in the studio of Mr Frank Prinn.

The many friends of the popular young couple wished them every happiness for future years, when they wil make their home at North Bunyip.

...................................

Known as Pax. Pax and Ken lived in Dandenong, later moving to the Old Princes Highway at Beaconsfield. Ken died suddenly while mowing the lawns at their house on the old Princes Highway at Beaconsfield. Following his death, Pax moved to a smaller home in Beaconsfield and was later diagnosed with cancer. Her family nursed her at home until she was too ill when she was transferred to the Bethlehem Hospice.

Pax, her sister Eve, and cousin, Alma Rose Blackwell (nee Dawes), and Coral Jones spent many years doing extensive family tree research on the Blackwell Dawes and various other family trees.
