Born Blanche Lindo in December 1912 in Costa Rica, where the family traded in bananas, she is the mother of Bob Marley’s multi-millionaire record producer Chris Blackwell, owner of Island Records. She lives in Knightsbridge. Blanche was a friend of Ian Fleming at Goldeneye in Jamaica, a circle which included Princess Margaret, Sir Noël Coward and Errol Flynn.

Originally Sephardic Jews from Portugal, the Lindos moved to Spain, Venice, Amsterdam and Bordeaux before settling in Jamaica in 1765 and becoming involved in sugar plantations.

Born in 1912 in Costa Rica, she was descended from Sephardic Jews who had fled Portugal during the Inquisition. The family set up home in Jamaica in the 1700s and became wealthy merchants. Their business included rum and sugar, and they owned vast tracts of land. (Her brother Roy sold Coward the land for his Jamaican houses).

Blanche LINDO Blackwell, Lord Chris Blackwell & Cabalistic Spike Lee

. . .

Blanche Blackwell and Lord Chris’ branch of the LINDOs had in fact been among the heretics and Conversos of Spain that the Inquisition accused of being “Judaizers“. The Lindos were closely related to many other Babylonian Sephardi “cousinhood” families of note in Britain.[8]

Blanche Blackwell, who has died aged 104, was the mother of the record mogul Chris Blackwell, the mistress of Ian Fleming and one of the last survivors from the age when some 20 families ran Jamaica.

Her family, the Lindos, were Sephardic Jews from Portugal who had arrived in Jamaica in 1743 to make their money from sugar, rum, coconuts and cattle. Their finances were said to have been weakened by a large loan to Napoleon, which was never repaid, and by the early 20th century Blanche’s eldest uncle had been forced to depart for Costa Rica, where he struck lucky growing bananas and sent for his seven brothers, including Blanche’s father.

Blanche was born there on December 9 1912. When their wealth was restored, most of the family returned to Jamaica, where they bought and ran the island’s leading rum manufacturer, J Wray and Nephew, until 1957.
