What's his marital status on his marriage to Mary? He would be quite old for a first marriage so I'm wondering if he was a widower?

His birthplace is Mollington on all the censuses (which was in the parish of Backford.) Have you tried the Bishop's Transcripts to see whether the baptism is in those?
