Blackmore, Edward Hugh Enes

Classics and mathematics teacher who ran his own school on Hunter Street. He also taught at Sydney Grammar in the late 1850s and 1860s, as well as working as a private tutor, and teaching for a short time in the 1880s at Sydney Girls High.  Born in England, he had migrated to New Zealand in the 1840s, where he was secretary to Governor George Grey, then the Collector of Customs and Sub Treasurer in Nelson. When it was discovered he had been misappropriating funds from the Treasury, he left the colony and arrived in Sydney in about 1856. His brother, Edwin Blackmore, was a respected legal scholar in South Australia.
