Walter Blackney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter Blackney (1 August 1775 – 14 September 1842) was an Irish politician who served as Member of Parliament for County Carlow.
Blackney was born on 1 August 1775 as the eldest son of James Blackney of Ballycormack and Ballyellin and his wife Gertrude, née Galwey. The Blackney family had inherited Ballycormack almost a century previously in the 1680s, and were a Catholic family. Blackney's father died on 28 March 1796 and thus inherited the estates, which included leasehold properties in Ballyellin and Clonmoney.[1]
