BLACKER OF DONCASTER

 

The will of Raphe Blacker of Doncaster, proved in 1582, mentions “Robt blacker and Walter my brethren”.[1] The names of these brothers suggest the likelihood that the testator was a son of John Blacker of Sandal Magna who died in 1560, leaving a will naming sons Robert, Rawffe and Walter. An account of the ancestry of John Blacker was given by J.W. Walker.[2]
