According to an Ancestry.com tree, Andrew Knox Blackall (1822-1891) was the younger brother of Lt Col Robert Blackall (1817-1895), and it's possible that 'Major Blackall' was Col Robt before promotion. They were the two sons of Maj Genl Robert Blackall (1787-1863), who was himself the son of Major Robert Blackall (d.1808). If right (and it must be checked), this gets us within spitting distance of Andrew's period. Indeed Maj Robert may have been a nephew of his, or even a brother - I have evidence, not yet conclusive, that as well as John, Andrew had two other brothers called Roger and Robert.
All to be confirmed, as although I have lots of interesting nuggets from various sources, I cannot yet tie them together with certainty - a common challenge with Irish genealogy, as so much vital documentation was destroyed in the Troubles.
Andrew married Elizabeth Anne CAMERON, daughter of Col. Allan CAMERON and Aletta Jacoba BORCHERDS, on 1 Jun 1865 in Bath, Somerset, England.1 (Elizabeth Anne CAMERON was born on 12 Feb 1822 in Douglas, Isle of Man, England, christened on 10 Mar 1822 in Kirk Michael, Isle of Man, England, died on 19 Feb 1871 in Dharmsala, Bengal, India and was buried in St.John in the Wilderness, Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh, India.)
