Background and family life
Blair was born at the Queen Mary Maternity Home[6] in Edinburgh, Scotland
on
6 May 1953,[1] the second son of Leo and Hazel Blair (née Corscadden).
Leo Blair, the illegitimate[7] son of two English actors, had been adopted
by a Glasgow ****pyard worker named James Blair and his wife Mary as a
baby.
Hazel Corscadden was the daughter of George Corscadden, a butcher and
Orangeman who had moved to Glasgow in 1916 but returned to (and later died
in) Ballyshannon in 1923, where his wife Sarah Margaret née Lipsett gave
birth to Blair's mother Hazel above her family's grocery shop.[8][9]
The Lipsett family in Donegal supposedly originated with a German Jewish
immigrant to Ireland prior to the 18th century.[10] George Corscadden was
from a family of Protestant farmers in County Donegal, Ireland,[11] who
descended from Scottish settlers that took their family name from
Garscadden, now part of Glasgow.

Vide supra.

Correct.
He's now a Roman Catholic -- converted by his clever and smart wife.
Tony's a changling.
