Thomas Raynor Blunden arrived in Melbourne in November 1852 aboard the "Severn" and soon married Louisa Crawford at St. James, Church of England, Melbourne in 1853. Thomas was born in Matloch Bathe, Derbyshire, England around 1827. After the wedding the family spent some time in Prahran, an inner suburb of Melbourne. They spent time on the goldfields of Bendigo (Sandhurst) where he was a prospector. Some of the children were born in this area. Around 1881 the family moved to Wylong in New South Wales, Thomas was involved with some of his children in the local mining industry.
