==Life and career==

Blacker was born in Armagh, Northern Ireland where his family has an ancestral home in the barony of Oneilland East. He obtained a commission in the Madras Cavalry in 1798, was made a cornet in 1799, and aide-de-camp to a Colonel Stevenson in the Wayanad district in 1800, and quartermaster-general in 1810. He served in Deccan, 1817, and was promoted to lieutenant-colonel.
Following the death of William Lambton, Blacker was made Superintendent of the Trigonometrical Survey of India and also took over from John Hodgson as Surveyor General of India. He was stationed in Calcutta from 1823 until his death there from a fever in 1826. He was buried in South Park Street Cemetery in Calcutta.〔Clements Robert Markham, ''A Memoir on the Indian Surveys'' (1878), p. 96.〕 Andrew Waugh said of him that "Blacker, with the exception of Col Everest, was the ablest and most scientific man that ever presided over this expensive department".〔J. R. Smith, ''Everest: The Man and the Mountain'' (1999), p. 226.〕
