There are 3 Margaret J Gair marriages 1901-1905 in Northumberland, 2 Morpeth in 1901 &1905- think I am 100% sure I have the correct one: 1939 Register gives her born 9/11/1884 and her birthplace is Cambois in 1891C, 1901C & 1911C. . Have not found the slightly older one in 1891C ?- must be she that marries 1901 George Henry Dawson Morpeth Mar 1901& is in 1939 Register, widowed
