I am searching for the parents of Delabere Roberton Blaine. He was a lawyer who died in London in 1871 aged 64, so probable birth date was 1807, also likely to have been in London.
I suspect (and hope) his father to have been Delabere Pritchett Blaine, a veterinary surgeon in Wells Street (off Oxford Street) at the time. I have no official record of DP Blaine being married at the time, although he put an ad in the Morning Post in 1804 that his wife Mary had eloped!
Any help with the birth or the marriage appreciated.
Andrew.

Thanks both. Yes D.R. Blaine married her in 1831.
I'll check the FindMyPast entry. I missed it because they misspelt Blaine.

Thank you both - I think I have what I need now.
