The son of Thomas and Margaret Elizabeth Blanco White, he was educated at St Paul's School, London and Trinity College, Cambridge, from where he graduated second wrangler behind Arthur Eddington in 1904, and was awarded Smith's Prize in 1906. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1907.[4] On 7 May 1909 he married Amber Reeves, feminist writer, scholar and campaigner. She was the daughter of William Pember Reeves and his wife Maud Pember Reeves. She bore a daughter Anna-Jane in December that year whose biological father was the author H.G. Wells (though Blanco White was Anna's legal father). The Blanco-Whites later had daughter Margaret Justin Blanco White (1911–2001), who became an architect, and a son Thomas Blanco White (1915–2006), a patent lawyer. Through Margaret he was the grandfather of anthropologist Caroline Humphrey and mathematician Dusa McDuff. He served in the First World War with the Royal Garrison Artillery. He stood for the Labour Party at the Holland with Boston by-election, 1929, coming second to Liberal James Blindell. He was made King's Counsel in 1936.[5] He became a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn in 1940 in replacement of Henry Chartres Biron.[6] He died in 1966 and received obituaries in The Times and The Guardian.
