Ernest Blackie

Ernest Morell Blackie (19 August 1867 – 1943) was an Anglican bishop in the 20th century.

Blackie was born in Leamington Spa[1] and educated at Cheltenham Grammar School and the University of London.[2] Ordained in 1891, he was a curate at St Mark's Gloucester and then a minor canon at Rochester Cathedral until 1900.

Her father was the son of James Haldane Stewart senior (the 19th century ecumenical prelate) and Mary Dale, daughter of David Dale.
