Can anyone please tell me if Patrick P Blair born abt 1846 in Aberdeen and married Eleanor Chadburn in Derby july 1895 was a widower, there is a 20 year age difference so i wonder if he was married before, if I could also get any info as to where she was born that would be a bonus. Thanks Sandra

The only way to find if he was a widower is to buy the cert......sorry! But at least it would tell you Eleanor's father's details............. 1901 census should tell you her birthplace....... Just checked......they were living in Scotland, so it only says 'England' Reg
