It couldn't be Wilgar, by any chance. It's an unusual name, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone had written it down as Wilmer or Wilbur. A relative of mine, Sarah McDonald (born c 1860s) married a Hugh Blair, emigrated to the USA and moved about between there and Canada. One of her sons was called Wilgar (other children were Malcolm, Robbie, Ardelle, Polly and Janet). Wilgar and Malcolm Blair fought in WWI. Let me know if you think there's a connection. Fiona McDonald
