• Latham C. M. Blacker, A history of the family of Blacker of Carrickblacker in Ireland (Dublin, 1901) (FamilySearch Digital Library)
  The earlier parts of the descent must be rejected as unhistorical. The claim of a Viking descent was strongly criticised by Oswald Barron in an article entitled "Skoal to the Norseman!" in The Ancestor, number 9 (1904). The part of the article dealing with the Blackers is at pages 105-112.
