Robert Blachford was an Irish chartmaker who began publishing charts in the early 1800s. In the 1820s he partnered with William Blachford, possibly a relative. Both Robert and William retired around 1835 when they passed the business to Michael Blachford. Michael partnered with, and was later bought out by, James Imray, who became one of the most successful chartmakers of the 19th century.
